Is the ibanez bass guitar jump start package any good?

This is my first musical instrument. It comes with a cool blue base, 15wat amp( 10 or 12 inch), bag, tuner, extra strings, sling, chords, and cool head phones.. I got this at guitar center for 300 dollars and I wanted to know if it was any good..

Lots of guitar snobs will tell you no. This is valid to a point. The rule is to get the best rig you can afford and go from there. The better rig will help you sound better and might help lessen some of the frustration you’ll experience as you learn.

Realistically though, you’re a beginner and don’t know the difference between a good instrument and rig from a bad one. It will take at least 4 to 6 months before you’ll be able to tell. Lots of people don’t have the budget to get anything better. As a beginner, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to spend 2K $ on your first rig unless you’re loaded with money.

Last but not least… you said Ibanez. If there’s one thing Ibanez does, it’s deliver an instrument that plays like one twice the price. I believe their most expensive (non-custom) guitar goes around 2 grand and is endorsed by the likes of Joe Satriani. Yes, that bass is gonna be their bargain-basement model. In a year or three, you’ll wanna upgrade if you stay serious about learning.

As a beginner, I would say you scored. I would take the Ibanez starter rig over that of any other manufacturer going. You’ll need an amp with a lot more poop if you want to play with a drummer, but for your own practice, it’s fine. In three months, you’ll be playing —insert current pop-punk band here— along with the radio just fine.
