Depends on the crime charged. For offenses not punishable by imprisonment the defendant is often released on their own recognizance. Generally if it's something more serious than a fine, if there's a belief the defendant will not show up they might not be able to get bail.
Say a guy's been arrested for, oh, something not too serious, like public urination, (which has say, a few days in jail) but has been arrested and was let out on bail and didn't show up, then got a bench warrant, if they were later arrested for the same thing or something else having possible jail time, the court might decide the defendant wouldn't show up again and wouldn't issue bail.
Most certainly they would not have a right to bail if they didn't show up a second or third time, the court would consider its patience tried and would order the defendant remanded until trial.
