Rogue Bass Guitars

Rogue bass guitars are a low priced alternative to the higher priced bass guitars. Rogue makes basses of all types, and most are reported to be of pretty good quality, considering the lower price. Some of the unique basses made by this company include a violin style Beatle bass, left handed basses, and bass guitars with more than the standard four strings.

Among the Rogue bass guitars you might consider is the SX100B which has a 34 inch scale maple bolt on neck, a rosewood fingerboard, and split coil pickup. It is lightweight making it more comfortable to play than heavier or larger bass guitars. The LX200BF is a four string Rogue bass that is also fretless. A fretless bass guitar is useful for jazz and fusion style music, because you can glide from note to note, but you must be accurate or you might play off key a bit.

The Beatle bass of the Rogue bass guitars goes by the designation, VB-100. It has the popular violin look that Paul McCartney made famous. The LX200B is the fretted version of the LX200BF described in the above paragraph. It features two volume controls and two tone controls.

You can get the SX100B in a starter set that includes the small, light bass guitar itself, along with a Drive CD200B bass amp that produces 20W of sound through an 8 inch speaker. The kit includes a cable for plugging in the bass, and a nylon strap that includes a lock. It comes in solid red, blue, or black, and can be purchased for less than $200.

Other basses that can be bought as part of a bass starter kit include the LX205B which is a five string bass. It is available in five colors, including metallic blue or charcoal, pearl white or black, or candy apple red. The kit includes the Drive CD 200B amp. This kit can sometimes be bought new for around $250.

Finally, among the Rogue bass guitars you could choose is the LX408, which is a custom 8 string. This bass is available in a light wood grain and is a sharp looking instrument. On this 8 string, the four classic strings are doubled, something like the strings on a twelve string guitar or a mandolin. All in all, Rogue gives you a lot to choose from.
