I just picked up my first bass (5 string) its really for my wife as she wants to learn how to play.
First question:
-Do they make string sets designed for E-C tuning for 5 strings or are they all B-G?
Second question:
I live in a world of guitar, and know very little about 'the dark side' of bass in comparison. I could list a TON of high end boutique amps for guitar without batting an eye. After doing a basic search of combo amps for bass, I must confess myself disappointed in what seems to be available when comparing the nutty amount of choices in high end guitar amps. Most of what I could find, even high end amps, looked....well...very utilitarian.
-I am looking for suggestions of low watt combos (dont need volume, especially with the wife just learning LOL) that are focused on SQ. I would also like an amp that looks classy without the 'industrial' look. I dont mind paying decent money (not Dumble amp money). My current main guitar amp is an awesome 65 Amps Tupelo; it sounds wonderful and is a nice looking amp. <is there anything in the bass world that is a comparison?
Thanks for any suggestions....
