Why is this your favorite song? Is it the lyrics, the singer, the amazing guitar solo? Does it remind you of the happiest time in your life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For me, music brings me back to both happy and sad times, and I relate a piece of music to various people I have encountered throughout my life. Past lovers, past friends, family members who have now since passed away: They are all connected to me by music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I find music to be so important in my life and am passionate about helping others find and purchase the best musical instrument that will help them, whether they are beginning to play or have been playing for years. Now, investing in a musical instrument can be pricey, and I want to help you find the best one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One instrument that I recommend starting to play, that people tend not to, is the bass. It is so integral to any piece of music, and it keeps people in time, and provides a great depth to any song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is nothing worse than spending a lot of money on an overpriced bass that fails you within a few months of buying it. One of the brands on the market today is the Dean EAB Acoustic-Electric Bass Guitar. It is available to buy online, and comes at an affordable price.<\/p>\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 Dean EAB Acoustic-Electric Bass Guitar comes with a variety of features to meet your musical instrument needs.

There are so many brands out there to choose from that vary in price, from under $100 all the way up to tens of thousands of dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is no easy task, but I highly recommend before you ever make a purchase on any instrument, especially a bass guitar, first go in person to a local music store, and test it out for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Musical instruments are all about personal preference, and what someone else might love, you might hate; never buy one online without at least holding the brand in a store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, I highly recommend the Dean EAB Acoustic-Electric Bass Guitar for anyone new who is learning the bass for the first time. It might not be the most high-end bass available on the market today, but it gets the job done, and gives you a variety of options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ability to play it both acoustically and electrically is a great bonus for anyone new to the bass, and gives you the freedom to play at any time of day, without disturbing your neighbors. It looks great, is very light, easy to move and is equipped with everything a first-time player needs in a bass! Have a great time playing and ROCK ON!<\/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\/B0002CZZNI?tag=bgdj-20&amp;linkCode=osi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" class=\"amalinkspro-cta-btn apilink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-alp-asin=\"B0002CZZNI\">Buy on Amazon<\/a> <\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dean EAB: A Natural Electric Bass What is your favorite piece of music in the world?
