What is a good beginning bass guitar for blues/jazz?

March 3rd, 2009 · 3 Comments · Jazz

Loan asked:


I am a trained musician who is interested in picking up the bass guitar. I am interested in playing blues and jazz. What is a good beginning bass to learn on and to play in those styles? I am a trained musician (I hold a bachelors degree in music performance) on trumpet, but have always been interested in learning to play bass. I’m not looking to break the bank, but would like something that eventually would be appropriate for basic jams sessions. Any suggestions?
