Top 5 Inexpnsive Bass Guitars for Girls

For a long time the job of a bassist has always been thought of as man's work. There were standout female bass players like Tina Weymouth or Carol Kaye, but in the largely male dominated rock industry, bassists were mostly guys.

That's really started to change in the past decade or so. Now we see many more female bass players. Here are five top inexpensive basses for beginniners or if you just want a name brand bass guitar without paying a lot:

1 Squier by Fender Affinity Series Bronco Bass Guitar

These basses are just plain cool anyway, forget about the fact they're only about $150 online. Broncos are super easy to play and have a short 30" scale neck. A real basic setup - one middle pickup, volume and tone -means there's not a lot that can go wrong. If there's ever a problem in the electronics cavity, it should be a simple repair job. Bronco basses are solid instruments and are very cool looking with their shallow cutaways. They also deliver Fender tone for not a lotta $$.

2 Ibanez GSRM20 Mikro Short Scale

This is another short scale bass guitar with a 28.6" inch neck. It fits great in smaller hands and would be a great choice for a petite female. By the way, this bass also seriously rocks. The pickups and electronics are quality and record well. The Ibanez mikro short scale is a quality bass that will provide huge low end for you to rock the house.

3 Squier by Fender Affinity Series P Bass or J Bass

Fender Precision and Jazz basses are two of the standard choices for bass guitar players, male or female. Buying one from the Affinity series is a good way to save substantial $$. These are full size basses with long scale necks. They also weigh more than the short scale basses which is something to consider. Full scale basses can be tiresome to have slung over your shoulder for long periods of time - like band rehearsals and gigs. Other than that, a Squier Precision or Jazz bass is a great place to start and a good way to get a new bass at a bargain price.

4 Daisy Rock - Rock Candy Bass (Atomic Pink)

Daisy Rock is a company that designs bass guitars for girls. Some of them are much more 'girlie' than others. The Rock Candy Bass is a full scale, yet lightweight bass guitar. It comes equipped with very good electronics and pumps out the low end. The bass body is contoured body is designed to perfectly fit the female form. A little pricier than the others but well worth the money.

5 Daisy Rock Daisy Bass

This bass is actually shaped like a daisy. It's geared toward younger girls, but is a very solid instrument and will perform great at gigging and recording. It's a very lightweight bass and sports a short scale neck. Teen girls and petite women will find this bass most comfortable to play. Because of the shape, it may be difficult to play this bass while sitting. It's not only an inexpensive alternative, it's a delightful fashion statement as well.

The instruments reviewed here were picked for being the most suitable bass guitar designs for females. These models provide a lot of bang for the buck and are relatively inexpensive basses. Girls who want to play bass or want a new bass for cheap, won't go wrong with any of these choices.
