To be serious though, I was in a relationship because "hmm a bass player in a leather jacket".

I mean id probably go all out and get something in the $750 range ish. I'm a musician and I play many instruments, just haven't gotten to bass yet.

is it possible to change tunings on a bass from say E to Eb without needing to take it into a shop? I say this because it is possible on guitar but I'm not sure if the giant bass string tension will make this process different and more difficult.

Yeah. I tune to Eb when I feel like playing some guns n roses with no issues. I think I like guitar and bass equally. Bass is definitely more fun though.

[–] _____@lemm.ee 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

what kind of bass do you recommend? I mostly play prog rock, rock fusion and metal/power metal

[–] Pilferjinx@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Honestly, whatever looks and feels the best for you. I would, generally, stick to mid range basses. Something that can be properly set up to play comfortably. Your tone will mostly come from your amp/cab so don't worry about pickups too much.

Oh yeah in your case go for what you want.

You can tune to e flat, sure. The bass is just the four bottom strings of a guitar, with a bigger gauge. EADG is the normal tuning

Or get a 5 string for those super low notes.
