So i's gonna ask for abass guitar for my birthday in february but i don't really know much about bass guitars. Can somebody give me a condensed version of stuff? I'd like to know the difference between a fretted and fretless bass( besides the fact that one has frets) and i'd love to know how to tune it.

well the strings on a bass are tuned to (from thickest to thinest) E A D G. I would suggest buying a bass tuner if your starting.The Difference between a fretted and fretless bass is 1 playing style ( a fretted you put your finger right behind the fret fretless you put your finger where the fret would be) and the types of strings you use ( flat wound strings are a must for a fretless or els you will scratch the neck up good). As for playing each fret on the neck is a half step up from the note before so 0 fingers on the E string is called open E one finger is E# (E sharp) or F♭ ( F flat) it depends on what key you are playing in.

well thats based on the notes played Example In the key of C there are no sharps or flats so the notes in the key of C are C D E F G A B C ( 2d C is the octave ) while the key of G would be G A B C D E F# G keys can also be flat like the F♭ the notes would be F G A B♭ C D E F. A good Teacher will teach you music theory along with the proper playing style but learning the Circle of Fifths can help
