The Bass Needs Support Gear
A first bass setup should include a wide strap, tuner, cable, stand, and spare strings so the instrument stays playable after the first week.
Amp Size Depends On The Room
Bedroom practice, school rehearsal, and drummer volume are different problems. The checklist should keep amp headroom visible before checkout.
Do Not Ignore Weight
Bass comfort is about scale length, body weight, strap width, and how long the player can stand or sit without fatigue.
