How to Choose Your First Bass | #MyFirstInstrument | Thomann

Julia shows you some of the things you should pay attention to when choosing your first bass! How do the different pickups sound like, should you get a 5-string as a first bass and why it could make sense to get a short scale. Hopefully this will help you a bit to choose your very first bass!
