    Advice on what bass to buy?

    Advice on what bass to buy?

    Thanks Arsie. What do bass players think of the smaller basses? I have never even tried one. Are they seen as a beginner or child's instrument, or just as respected as a full size bass? There does not see to be many around here to try out. What sizes do basses commonly come in? I did notice...

    Advice on what bass to buy?
