Do you need an amp to play a bass ?

Question

And what brand do u recommend for guitars ?

i am not sure , that what my mom said.

Answer 1

There is such a thing as an acoustic bass, but you probably have an electric. So yeah, you pretty much need an amp to hear it well. Until you get one go sit in the bathroom with the door shut and play so you get better sound out of it.
Guitar... I'm old school so I'd say for an electric - Fender Stratocaster
for an acoustic - 0018 Martin if ya have the $$ or next go with an Epiphone. The sweetest guitar I ever had was an old (Kalamazoo) Epiphone.

Answer 2

The answer is yes. If it's an electric bass, you need an amplifier.
There are really good amps made for bass guitars only. You can go to any guitar store or website and find some well known brands.
If you go to guitar center, they have peavey bass amps that run less than $100.00. They are very strong and very reliable.

Answer 3

Non-accoustic basses should definitely have an amp for superior performance. And guitars do best on Marshall amps.

Answer 4

Answer 6
