The bass guitar is a stringed instrument, usually electric, and very much related to the electric guitar. It has a longer neck than the electric guitar, and much thicker strings of which there are usually only 4, but there may be 5 or 6. The sound produced is much deeper and is usually accompanied by the drums to create the rhythm section of a band; the part that keeps the beat of a song rather than the tune. The bass has been described as easy to learn but difficult to master.

The Bass is a diverse instrument that is essential in many musical genres, so would suit a child who has varied musical taste. More popular bass styles include blues, soul, hip-hop, dance, and rock n roll. Bass is also a great choice for kids interested in starting a band. Being less popular than drums or guitar, very often there is space in the band for a bassist.

    • I decided to take up the bass guitar when I was about 16 years old. This was also about the same time that I realised I would forever have difficulty getting used to the tiny strings of a normal electric! I found that my hands were just a bit too clumsy to play the guitar properly but it was much easier for my hands to adapt to the larger features of the bass. I also found it quite easy to learn due to the nature of the instrument being rhythmic rather than a lead because I had previously played the drums. Although I would be considered self-taught, I had a lot of help from my friends who were very musical.
