    Get a guitar/bass tuner. They are not that expensive. If you have a piano tune the second string to A=440. An A string vibrates at four hundred and forty times a second. Try playing the harmonic on your E string (just place your finger gently on the string) at the fifth fret and then hit the seventh fret harmonic of your A string. These two tones will be the same. it is easier to tune this way.

    Why even make a alternative? As I'm definite you already know, bass is with ease the final four strings of a guitar...with the specified equal tuning. I have no idea a unmarried bass participant who does now not additionally play the guitar. As others have mentioned...bass avid gamers are way more infrequent, so a lady along with your appears might be equipped to command plenty extra gigs and possibilities with larger bands, and the possibility to play with larger musicians, with the intention to simplest upgrade your capacity. Guitar avid gamers are a dime a dozen. I will upload...so much bear in mind it a little bit extra intricate to sing and play bass. It's probably less complicated to strum a guitar chord and sing, then to play a sample of character notes on bass and sing while. Don't allow that discourage you...if you consider bass....don't overlook your making a song...if a lady, who appears as you do, can sing AND play bass, you might overcome the sector! LOL Hell, I would even kick my bass participant out of the band and rent you? Generally...the low finish Fenders are viewed very well manufacturers for the cash, however it is as much as character alternative.

    bass is the same way. the fifth fret of the fattest string sounds like the next fattest.

    its good to be able to do it by ear, but you can also use this:
