well title pretty much says alot of it.
firstly any advice on what kind of guitar to buy first ( i live in england and have about £150 that i can spend). i know that i should really buy a cheap one first to see how it goes before buying something with real quality.
any advice on how to start and/ or any good websites with lessons or advice??
thanks anyone who can help :)
Answer
Buy the instrument a step or two up from 'the cheapest.'
The range price you are looking at is about right. Maybe a bit more.
Find some songs with strong, yet simple basslines like "Twilight Zone" from Golden Earring. If you can keep that line up for six minutes, no flubbs, no change in meter (consistency is more important than flash in a good bass player) you'll be well on your way!
It isn't that hard to be a decent bass player. It can be VERY hard to be a GREAT bass player, especially when you get to advanced techniques, but in pop music, you can usually just play 8th notes all day.
Pardon... about price range... the 'cheapest' will crap out fast, and always sound like junk. You'll feel like you're never getting better. The step up from there will be good enough to last you a few years with care. Once you've been playing around a year (depending... your mileage may vary) you can begin to appreciate the differences in more expensive instruments if you wish to continue (and I hope you do!)
Good luck!
