[XiaoPiBao]

ah cool, thx alot!

but still dun really understand >.< man its so complicated lol.

 

[neverland]

hi, i'm a beginner of bass, and i plan to buy a bass guitar.
how's your new bass guitar? Is it suitable for a new player?

 

[XiaoPiBao]

yea good but after awhile i prefer the P type bass of sound more than the current J type, as is more muffled.

 

[neverland]

how much did u spend for the amp and guitar? or the guitar alone?

 

[XiaoPiBao]

i brought the starter package at city music

changed the FP bass to a FJ bass top up around 8$

how is the output from the 15W amp? As it is a waste if the amp were not really good...
thx for your time dude....

 

[XiaoPiBao]

[XiaoPiBao]

yes, else you will be playing to mice :x cause without amp is very soft

15W is sufficient for practise amp. Infact for beginners you dont really need good (such as tube) and powerful amps as you are still learning the instruments.

Start gassing for better axe, amp, stomp boxes when you think you are ready.

Meanwhile, enjoy it as much as you can!

i hoped you meant from friends who play BASS guitar.

hi there, i'm intend to play the bass guitar without an amp, but with the earphone n my laptop(as my house not allowed me to play with amp), any different or the sound wont be very good?
any recommendations with a budget of 300-400 for a beginner bass guitar?
thank you~

 

[XiaoPiBao]

arh.. electric guitar :X i don't have any friends who play bass guitar



ah amp can pluck in headphone or earphone, than no sound is produce through the amp speaker but through the earphones

 

[neverland]

i saw the advertisement of the city music, and it cost $350++ of the package(bass n amp, etc)
so i would rather spend the $350++ for a single better bass guitar(use earphone and laptop) instead of the package.

 

[XiaoPiBao]

i not sure if bass can directly connect to speaker or laptop ;s cause if im not wrong they take abit electricty from the amp. maybe you can ask around.

 

[alanchia]

yes you can connect to pc/laptop audio in port, provided the impedance is matched. usually no problem if it's active bass (meaning the bass needs battery to work). if the pc has decent desktop speakers (with sub woofer), the sound could be better than low grade bass amp.

no, the signal from bass may be too weak to drive a earphone/headphone directly. you'll probably need a gadget in between - such as vox amplug (check city music).

is the fp10 model from the citymusic promo a good buy for beginners? or its best if i go over there and try it out?

If you can afford it, it's always best to start with proper lessons with a good instructor.
