Answer 1

if you are talking about tuning then yes but what are you talking about ajusting strings???if you want to change them the you just put them through the body

Answer 2

ofcourse u can adjust the strings if u think of a good guitar buy a classical(made in spain)  

Answer 3

I have the 2nd bass but it has a different name on it, its an ok bass to learn with. Im not sure what you mean by adjusting the strings though.

Answer 4

Yes, you can adjust the strings... but why are you showing us the guitars you like? Those are lame, get a Stratocaster or Les Paul (they're worth the money).

Answer 5

Whatever guitar / bass you get do try it out in a shop first and don't just go on looks. If you want respect from other musicians they will judge you on how you sound and not how cool your guitar looks.

Perhaps you had better first decide on whether you want to play bass or guitar they are quite different. My advice would be to learn guitar first as it is easier to transfer this skill to the bass if you decide to swap later on.

Answer 6

I know nothing about this company or about their house brand of instruments.  Therefore I would be very hesitant about buying one.  

As a general rule to live by, you should NEVER, EVER buy musical instruments on line unless you know a LOT about them, AND you're buying a name brand, AND the seller is giving you an extremely thorough description with multiple photos so you can see the instrument from all angles, AND the instrument comes to you on trial, so you have 48 or 72  hours to try it out at home and decide if you like it and you can send it back at the seller's expense for a guaranteed full refund if you change your mind or don't like it for ANY reason.

But if you're buying a generic no-name beginner-level guitar, DON'T BUY ONLINE.  You really need to look at and hold and play the specific instrument you're thinking of buying, and make sure you like it, before you buy.  Go to a local music shop and try out different bass guitars in your price range and maybe  a couple that are a bit more expensive, for comparison purposes.  Bring along a guitar or bass playing friend to help you evaluate the instruments. Play each one through the same amp and listen carefully, so you know that any differences you hear in the sound is due to the different instruments and not the amp.  The one that has the best sound in your opinion is the one you should get.

Oh, and BTW -- you asked this question earlier and said that your present bass was no good because the strings are too high off the fingerboard?  That is very easily fixed.  Take your present bass to a guitar repair person and ask him or her to "lower the action".  He or she will adjust the truss rod in the neck and/or maybe adjust the height of the bridge, to bring the strings down lower, closer to the fingerboard so it will be easier to play.  If this is the only reason why you're thinking of buying a new bass, you don't need a new bass.  And quite frankly, I doubt that either of these that you looked at will be much, if any improvement from whatever bass you have now.  Don't waste your money.  Wait and save up for a really GOOD bass for later when you get good at playing.  

Answer 7

you can change the strings guitar/bass string on a guitar/bass, but you cant put guitar string on a bass and bass and vice versa. you should aslo know that a guitar is not the same as a guitar, Guitars have six strings, bass guitar has four thick strings that have a much lower frequency thus the title of bass guitar,

Bass guitars tend to be bigger, longer, and heavier than six strings,

You can learn either without the other, I play guitar so I can also play bass, however it doesnt really work both ways, guitar players can play both because bass is primarily single notes, bass players have to learn guitar because it employs more complex chords and techniques

Answer 8

Bass-ically

Answer 9

Yeah each string has a little device at the end of the guitar's neck to loosen or tighten the strings.  It is necessary to keep the guitar in tune.

Those guitars look good.  I think I prefer the second of the two.  For the money you pay for them I doubt you'll do much better.  I've been playing guitar for 10 years and my first was a £120 Yamaha Pacifica.  It wasn't great and I bought a better guitar 3 years later but it did the job it was supposed to for 3 years.  I had hours of fun on that thing.

Answer 10

Of course you can "adjust" the strings. You'll see.

This is obviously your first guitar, they're awesome, good on ya.

I'd look at bass guitar reviews and pick a good one rather than one that looks pointy and sounds like ***, though.

[If it's a guitar not a bass you're after, a les paul has a lot bassier sound (and is heavier, no, really), while a stratocaster has a lighter tone and is more general purpose. I'd start with a Strat - but your life, your call .]

Answer 11

Honestly, the first off a Gibson Explorer rip-off and the second is a B.C. Rich b***h rip-off. Most knock-off models tend to be sub-par to what they're emulating, therefore I'd go with neither. If you're looking for a bass that's decent yet inexpensive, go with Ibanez or Fender (crappy guitars, but decent basses nonetheless).

Also, you can adjust strings as you see fit. It mainly depends on how you plan on tuning the instrument and your playing style. This is easily done with bridge adjustments and/or by buying the right gauges for your strings.
