Acoustic Bass Guitar Buying Guide

• Tonewood: The wood a bass is made from affects how it sounds. If you like how a particular musician sounds, learn about the lumber used on his guitar.
• Scale: Acoustic basses have short 30-inch scales to extra-long 35-inch scales. The standard is a 34-inch long scale.
• Number of strings: A bass can have 4 to 12 strings. If you are a beginner, start with a four-string bass. The advance to an instrument with more strings when you’re ready to play with a wider range of sounds.
• Fingerboard: Place a ruler along the seam between the neck and fingerboard to make sure it’s perfectly straight.
• Inside the bass: When you look inside the instrument, the blocks at the endpin should not have any cracks. The bass bar near the E-string should be perfectly in place.
