"They pick up the vibration of the string through magnets and turn it into sound through witchcraft". Seems legit.

I would say, for a beginner, go to the shop and try them out and then pick the one that makes you want to play it every day, and feel comfortable with playing, even if it's a "Cheap" bass

There are many Japanese basses that were made between 1965 and 1985, that are totally killer. Hondo II, Kent, ESP, Ibanez, Audition, Memphis, Cameo, Kay, Harmony, Crestone, Silvertone, Greco, Electra, Matsumoku, Kingston, Yamaha, Guyatone, Univox, Tempo, Westone, Teisco, Aria pro II,

Number one bass for the money of all time is the Fender Squier. Inexpensive,super high quality, and also perfect for modding if needed.

Never getting the love they deserve but Yamaha make great instruments across the price ranges. You tend to get alot of quality for the money.

Why do I get the feeling he’s gonna say his name, claim I killed his father and instruct me to prepare for death?...

Just buy a Thunderbird. They sound awesome and the long neck is great for poking the guitarist in the ear when his solo is going on too long.

I am not a beginner guitar player but I'm recently getting into playing bass guitar to add to my mixes and I felt this video was very informative so thank you for uploading!

I love the realism of his advise. I feel the same way. I bought an active bass (budget) to learn.

You're right always just try stuff out. I was die hard EMG active bass pickups for years and recently got a bass with a passive pickup that I wasnt too excited about... Plugged it in and I love the way it sounds! Always try stuff!

Excellent advice Dagan, I remember debating many options before I bought a Bass last year and because the closest music shop is over an hour's drive away I also wanted to see what I could get locally because you do really want to put your hands on it and make sure that the "feel" is something you are comfy with or it'll just collect dust in the box instead of becoming relicked the old fashioned way!!

You never mentioned scale length and how some short scale basses are great for smaller hands and fingers,

I found you for Electric Guitar stuff, so I was surprised you also do Bass. I only got back into guitars because I wanted to learn Bass but stumbled into a very cheap electric kit and grabbed it too. And now I'm down the Theory rabbithole.
