Bass and bass amp (practice)

If you practice bass at home, you can of course also do without bass amps, but we recommend using bass amps especially when you're new to bass. This is because listening to the bass sound through the bass amplifier makes it possible to listen to subtle sounds that could not normally be heard. It's quite difficult to hear it without a bass amp, even if you're used to playing bass. If you have a bass amp for home practice, you can start with a small output of about 3W.
