When you’re performing with a band it’s important to understand a little bit about musical mechanics. It’s not as though you can simply get on stage and start singing/playing your instruments to a packed audience and expect them all to hear you. You’ll need a few pieces of equipment to get the show on the road – starting with a bass amp.
A bass amp is an amplifier which is used exclusively for an electric guitar and electric keyboard. Without a bass amplifier no one in the audience can hear what you’re playing on the keyboard or the bass. For people that don’t know much about music, it’s best explained like this: electric instruments need amplifiers to work while acoustic instruments do not. Though the industry standard would be an eight-by-ten bass cabinet, it would be wise to purchase a practice amp first, so that you can master your sound and sing.
