The 3rd Avenue 3/4 Bass Guitar Pack is a complete beginner bass setup: a short-scale 3/4 size bass guitar in high-gloss black, a 15-watt bass amplifier with a headphone socket, and the essentials — gig bag, cable, strap, stand and spare strings — so a new bassist can plug in and play on day one.

Who is this bass pack for?

The 3/4 short-scale format suits younger and smaller players taking up the bass, and anyone who finds a full-size bass a stretch — the shorter neck brings the frets closer together, making early basslines much more comfortable. It is equally at home in school music departments and bedroom practice. If you already own an amplifier, the 3/4 bass guitar on its own is available; taller teenagers and adults should consider the full size bass guitar pack in the same range.

Is a 3/4 bass guitar right for a beginner?

Yes — for younger or smaller players it is usually the better choice. The short scale means shorter fret stretches and a lighter instrument, which keeps early practice comfortable while producing the same four-string bass sound as a full-size model.

Can you practise bass quietly at home?

Yes. The included 15-watt amplifier has a headphone socket, so the bass can be practised in silence — ideal for evenings, flats and houses with thin walls — while still giving enough volume for lessons and jam sessions when needed.

Do you need a special amplifier for bass guitar?

Bass produces much lower frequencies than an electric guitar, so it needs an amplifier built for bass. This pack includes a matched 15-watt bass amplifier, so there is nothing extra to buy.

What is the difference between short scale and full size bass?

Scale is the playing length of the strings. A short-scale 3/4 bass has a shorter neck with closer frets, suiting smaller hands and younger players; a full-size bass has a longer reach and slightly deeper tone, and suits teenagers and adults. Both are tuned and played exactly the same way.
