What brand of bass guitar is best for a beginner if I will be playing alternative/ rock?What brand of bass guitar is best for a beginner?
Here are some good starter basses (low price, good quality):


Squier Affinity P Bass


Squier Affinity J Bass


Squier Vintage Modified Precision/Jazz Bass


Peavey Millenium


Peavey Milestone 5


Yamaha RBX170


Ibanez GAXB


Ibanez GSR200


Warwick Rockbass Streamer Standard


OLP MM2


Washburn XB100





All those basses will give you good value for a good price.


Also, about what he said: some people don't like Ibanez (I personally enjoy them), but they're almost universally recognized as one of the top makers of mid-range bass guitars (along with Schecter).





Hope that helps.What brand of bass guitar is best for a beginner?
Washburn makes fairly good quality basses for fairly cheap prices.


T-12 should get the job done well enough. Ibanez is pretty hit or miss as is epiphone. The Fender Squier ';P'; and ';J'; basses are pretty good, but definitely nowhere near their big brothers.
