Please note: an amplifier is required to hear this guitar. If you don't already own one, we recommend switching to the 3rd Avenue Bass Guitar Pack with Amp

The 3rd Avenue 3/4 Bass Guitar is a short-scale bass in high-gloss black, sold with a gig bag but without an amplifier — the right choice for younger or smaller players who already have an amp. Its 25-inch scale and comfortable C-shape neck keep basslines within easy reach of smaller hands.

Who is this bass for?

Younger and smaller players taking up bass, and anyone wanting a compact, lighter instrument for practice and travel. The timeless body shape, white scratchplate and covered pickups deliver a rich, punchy tone across genres. Because no amplifier is included, pair it with an amp you already own, add the 3rd Avenue 15W bass amp, or choose the complete 3/4 bass pack with amp and accessories included.

Do you need an amplifier to play a bass guitar?

Yes — an electric bass is very quiet unplugged, so an amplifier is needed to hear it properly. This listing is the guitar only; the 3/4 bass pack adds a 15W amp with headphone socket plus stand, strap, cable and spare strings.

Who suits a short-scale 3/4 bass?

Smaller players, younger beginners and guitarists moving to bass who prefer a shorter reach — the 25-inch scale brings the frets noticeably closer together than a full-size bass, while tuning and technique stay identical.

Does the shorter scale change the sound?

Slightly — short-scale basses have a touch more warmth and thump, which many players actively prefer. For a beginner the difference is far less important than comfort, where the short scale clearly wins for smaller hands.
