Scale length, and hands that are still growing · review
A beginner-focused bass: a C-shaped neck on a light body, a flat 20-fret fingerboard with clear note markers, one pickup and one volume control — deliberately as simple as possible.
What it amounts to The simplest bass here on purpose, and the only one that arrives with a tuner.
VISIONSTRING is Gear4music’s own beginner brand, and this pack is designed around removing decisions.
The bass has a C-shaped neck on a light body, a flat 20-fret fingerboard with visible note markers, one single-coil pickup at the bridge and a single volume control. That is deliberately minimal: nothing to set wrong, nothing to blame when a note does not sound.
The box is well judged for a first month. A gig bag, a strap, three picks, a hex key, a cable — and a headstock tuner, which is the accessory that gets used at the start of every session and is almost never included at this price.
The amplifier is 10 W, which is honest for practice and no more. Bass needs power to produce low notes at volume, and if the plan involves playing with a drummer, that is the part to replace first.

It fixes the tone at the bridge position, which is brighter and more articulate. It is a limitation you will notice after a year and not before, and in the meantime there is one less variable between you and the note.
They show where the notes sit. On a bass, where positions are further apart than on a guitar, clear markers are a genuine learning aid rather than decoration.
