i just wanted to try and learn bass but i dont feel like going out and purchasing a bass just to find out i dont like it, if there is a way to play an acoustic like a bass what should the strings be tuned to?
like could i practice on a guitar and then purchase a real bass?
No. Get a bass guitar.
Unless you want to drop your tuning by a lot and have it sound pretty bad. Or you could just play the E and A strings and pretend you’re a bassist.
The answer is no.

You can’t play a bass on a guitar.
But to get a bass sound you want a very low tune. But it will buzz alot.
Go to your local music shop and ask to play one. I do it all the time!
