Choosing a Bass Guitar
Choosing the right bass guitar, accessories and amp is primarily driven by your use case - whether that be rocking it live in a venue, playing at home, or recording in a studio. Here at Constellation Musical we carry everything from electric bass guitars to acoustic bass guitars, as well as bass strings, bass guitar accessories and bass guitar amps.
Electric Bass Guitars
Electric bass guitars as we know them originated in the 1930s, but didn’t enter mass production until around the 1950s. A key part of any rhythm track, electric bass works closely with drums to give music its groove and movement.
We are proud to offer not only 4 string electric basses and 5 string electric bass guitars, but also 6 string electric basses too, including the legendary Spector electric bass range, such as this stunning Spector Eurobolt 5 in Inferno Red. You’ll also find Ibanez bass guitars in our store. Given the nature of electric bass guitars, you’ll want to pick up an amp to go with yours so that you can play those funky rhythms loud and clear.
Acoustic Bass Guitars
Acoustic bass guitars can be played and heard without the need for amplification, though often you will see acoustic-electric bass guitars such as the Takamine Acoustic Bass GB30CE. Acoustic bass guitars have a unique sound, boosted by the wooden enclosure and are loud enough on their own for small performances, as well as campfire sing-alongs. At Constellation Musical we offer not just Takamine, but also Breedlove and Ibanez acoustic bass guitars. Try one out today and see the world that opens up with an acoustic bass guitar.
Bass Strings
We carry both electric bass guitar strings as well as acoustic bass guitar strings, including D’Addario, Fender and Elixir bass strings like this set of five nickel plated Nanoweb long scale strings from Elixir. You’ll also see a variety of windings including round wound as well as flat wound.
Bass Guitar Accessories
With a wide range of bass guitar accessories to complement your bass guitar, we’ve got you covered when it comes to bass guitar tuners, straps, gig bags and cases. And on top of that, we also offer all the cleaning and polishing solutions you’ll need to keep your bass in top quality condition. Check out D’Addario’s Restore Deep Cleaning Polish here.
Bass Guitar Amps and Cabinets
Last but not least, it’s time for some amplification. Get some! With Peavey bass amps you’ll have a reliable and great sounding amp. We recommend the Peavey MAX300 for some serious power. We also carry bass heads like the famous Aguilar Tone Hammer 700. Remember to bear in mind the trade off between convenience and portability. A combo stack is a great, affordable solution. However, having a separate cabinet and bass head amplifier can make things easier if you need to move from location to location. They’re also useful if you want to swap out individual pieces at any point.
