What Bass Do You Need For Funk/Rock/Pop/ Blues/Jazz?

In this video lesson I'll show you a few of my basses and talk about the different kinds of pickups, woods, and strings available.

Knowing this stuff is important as your instrument dictates how you sound and what you play. If you want to play soul and RnB then perhaps a P bass with flats is for you. Are you a rock fan? Then a brighter sounding bass is probably for you.

Learn more in the video below where I'll also give you some pro bass tips along the way.
