Trying to decide between two models? You might think it all comes down to the price, but frankly there is a lot more to it. If you would like to see more product comparisons and reviews in this category, click here.
Contestant number one is the Goplus Electric Bass Guitar Full.
Next up is the Ibanez 4 String Bass Guitar.
If you’re looking for a beautiful, stylish bass, then the Goplus Electric Bass is right for you. The wooden body has a shiny, polished surface, which gives it this fashionable look. But it doesn’t just look good. The piezoelectric pickups give it a versatile tone. The rosewood fretboard is both light and comfortable to play on.
The list of Ibanez bass players is almost endless. Chances are you’ve heard an Ibanez bass being played on one of your favorite band’s albums. This one is a small-scale version, featuring only a 28.6” scale. This makes it easier to play than other models on this list, such as the Fender Squire.

WHAT OUR TEAM THOUGHT | |
It’s light and durable, which are two elements that you don’t find often with a starter bass. Whether you play rock-n-roll or the blues, you’ll get great sound out of this bass, and you won’t need to pay more than $500 too. |
It’s an Ibanez and you get a professional quality bass for under $500. The sound is great. And the small-scale means it’s easy to play. |
