Beginner Student Basses
Starting a musical journey with a reliable, quality instrument is the key to a successful experience. Meyer Music offers quality student level basses as rent-to-own, with all school teacher-required accessories included, plus the school book and music stand for beginners. All accumulated rental credit transfers to larger sizes and higher levels as players grow in size and skill.
Step-Up Basses
As your player progresses and encounters more challenging music, their bass should match their growing skills. Their student-level bass was a great start to their musical journey and “stepping up” will take them even further!
Compared to student level basses which are designed to be solid and durable, Step-Up basses are made of high-end materials for enhanced tone and include special features, such as upgraded bows and strings for extended range and enhanced control.
