What Do I Need?

If you're just starting out learning to play bass, then you'll probably need some extra bits before you're fully ready to start laying down some funk. Amplifiers are a necessity if you're planning on selecting an electric bass, and you'll also need a cable to link everything up. Our Starter Packs come complete with accessories such as a strap and a gig bag so you're ready to take your gear out to rehearsals, ideal for those looking to form a band and play with other people!

Every Style and Genre

When learning a new instrument it's important to pick something out that will inspire you to keep making progress. Your first bass should be a design that you love - perhaps a shape that one of your favourite musicians also uses, or something versatile so you can try a range of styles out. Our selection at PMT features iconic designs at entry-level prices, so whether you're a nu-metal newbie or an apprentice art-rocker, we've got the bass for you.

For Kids

Children can find it hard to play full-size instruments - bass guitars often feature long necks and a heavy body, not at all suited for those trying to learn to play. At PMT we stock a range of 3/4-size and mini bass guitars that are perfect for those with smaller hands, allowing for the same playability and sound that you'd get from a traditional bass.
