A full-scale electric bass, short-scale bass, or acoustic-electric bass can work, but each changes reach, weight, volume, amp needs, and string feel. After looking at Guitar Gallery and Gio Guitars, review whether the bass feels balanced, holds tuning, plays cleanly, and fits the student's practice space. If the price seems unusually low, ask about setup history, cracks, electronics, fret wear, and whether the bass holds tuning, so technique and songs improve together.
