It is prominent in every culture, through every race, in every country around the world. Most people when asked what their favorite instrument is, usually rush to say the guitar, the piano, or the drums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the showiest instruments, with multiple solos on song tracks, especially in rock and roll, that the audience cheers for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, one instrument that often goes unnoticed is the bass guitar. If you were to play any of your favorite songs in the world without the bass track, you would feel like something incredibly important was missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bass adds a layer of depth and color to any song, and it is a necessity for any band to have one. Many people view the bass as an easier version of the guitar, as it only has 4 strings, and doesn\u2019t seem too complicated. They could not be more wrong!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bass must be in constant connection with the drums, establishing rhythm and the pulse of the song. It is also played at alarming speeds, and supports all the instruments around it. It is a skill set and takes a lot of training to master.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Purchasing a musical instrument is an investment and is quite a process if you don\u2019t know what you are looking for. There are so many brands available on the market today, that vary in price, size, and playing type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be overwhelming but we can help guide you towards what brands work and what brands don\u2019t. One bass guitar brand is the Crescent Electric Bass Guitar Starter Kit. It is very affordable and available online for purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div>\n\t\t    \t\t\n\n\t\t    \t\t\n\n\n\n\t\t    \t\t<div class=\"amalinkspro-showcase alignnone apilink yesprime amalinkspro-showcase-4 alp-load-api\" data-alp-img=\"LargeImage\" data-alp-asin=\"B003M76KNY\" data-alp-hide-prime=\"\" data-alp-hide-image=\"\" data-alp-hide-price=\"1\" data-alp-hide-button=\"\" style=\"max-width:750px;\">\n\n\t\t    \t\t\t\n\t\t\t    \t\t\t<div class=\"amalinkspro-showcase-stats-col amalinkspro-showcase-stats-col-img\">\n\t\t\t                    <span class=\"alp-showcase-img-wrap enabled-img\">\n\n\t\t\t                    \t\n\t\t\t                    \t\t<!-- <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"amalinkspro-license-loading-gif\" src=\"\/wp-admin\/images\/loading.gif\" alt=\"loading\" \/> -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"alp-showcase-img-link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B003M76KNY?tag=bgdj-20&amp;linkCode=osi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/a>\n\n\t\t\t                    \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t                <\/div>\n\n\t\t                \n\t\t                <div class=\"amalinkspro-showcase-stats-col amalinkspro-showcase-stats-col-info\">\n\t\t                    <a class=\"amalinkspro-showcase-4-titlebox \" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B003M76KNY?tag=bgdj-20&amp;linkCode=osi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Electric Bass Guitar &#8211; Sunburst<\/a>\n\t\t                    <div class=\"showcase-4-features\">\n\t\t                    \t\n\t\t                    \t\n\t\t                    \t\t<ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"alp-showcase-spec-val-editable\">Electric Bass Guitar<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"alp-showcase-spec-val-editable\">43 Full Size Electric Bass Guitar<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"alp-showcase-spec-val-editable\">Pickups: Split P-B P\/U<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"alp-showcase-spec-val-editable\">Regulator: Volume - Tone<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"alp-showcase-spec-val-editable\">Body: Basswood<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"alp-showcase-spec-val-editable\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t                    <\/div>\n\n\t\t                    \n\t\t                <\/div>\n\n\t\t                <div class=\"amalinkspro-clear\"><\/div>\n\n\t\t                <div class=\"amalinkspro-showcase-bottom-cta\">\n\t\t                \t\t\t                \t\t<div class=\"amalinkspro-showcase-bottom-cta-price\"><\/div>\n\t\t                \t\t\t                \t<a class=\"amalinkspro-showcase-bottom-cta-link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B003M76KNY?tag=bgdj-20&amp;linkCode=osi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span class=\"alp-showcase-amalink-editable\">View on Amazon<\/span><\/a>\n\t\t                \t<div class=\"amalinkspro-clear\"><\/div>\n\t\t                <\/div>\n\n\t\t                <!-- <div class=\"alp-showcase-loader\">\n\t\t                \t<span>\n\t\t\t                \t<i class=\"icon-amalinkspro-spin3 animate-spin\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t                <\/span>\n\t\t                <\/div> -->\n\n\t\t                \n\t\t                \t\n\t\t                \t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"amalinkspro-clear\"><\/div>\n\n\t\t    \t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t    \t\t\n\n\t\t    \t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Features\"><\/span>Features<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Crescent Electric Bass Guitar Starter Kit comes with a variety of features to meet your musical instrument needs.

It definitely gets the job done. It has a great sound, is easy to play, and for a limited time, also comes with a turner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, there are some downsides to this bass guitar. Since it is on the cheaper side of the brands, the Crescent will not have the high-end electronic components as a more expensive model (this includes a lack of pickups).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike many other basses on the market, the Crescent cannot be played acoustically. So, on top of the guitar, you would have to buy an amp to go with it. This price is a steal for a great-sounding bass; it sounds just as good as any of the high-end ones available while also having a great look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The onboard pickups are not the greatest, but if you are just beginning to learn, you will not mind one bit. If you are a more advanced bassist looking for the highest quality of instrument, the Crescent Electric Bass Guitar Starter Kit is not for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, if you are looking for an electric bass that is easy to move, and doesn\u2019t need additional features, then the Crescent Electric Bass Guitar Starter Kit would be a great buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before buying, we would recommend that you try it out for yourself at a local store, as instruments should not be bought without first testing them! So, before you purchase online, go to your local store and try the Crescent! Happy playing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div><style type=\"text\/css\">.amalinkspro-cta-wrap.cta-id- .amalinkspro-cta-btn{font-family: ;font-size: px;color:  !important;text-shadow: none;padding: px px px px;box-shadow: none;border-radius: px;border: px solid ;}.amalinkspro-cta-wrap.cta-id- .amalinkspro-cta-btn:hover{font-size: px;color:  !important;text-shadow: none;padding: px px px px;box-shadow: none;border-radius: px;border: px solid ;}<\/style><span class=\"amalinkspro-cta-wrap aligncenter cta-id-\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B003M76KNY?tag=bgdj-20&amp;linkCode=osi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" class=\"amalinkspro-cta-btn apilink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-alp-asin=\"B003M76KNY\">Buy on Amazon<\/a> <\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Crescent Electric Bass: A Starter Kit Music is the universal language.
