Questions & Answers
Question : Is the ibanez bass guitar jump start package any good?
This is my first musical instrument. It comes with a cool blue base, 15wat amp( 10 or 12 inch), bag, tuner, extra strings, sling, chords, and cool head phones.. I got this at guitar center for 300 dollars and I wanted to know if it was any good..
Answer:
Lots of guitar snobs will tell you no. This is valid to a point. The rule is to get the best rig you can afford and go from there. The better rig will help you sound better and might help lessen some of the frustration you'll experience as you learn.Realistically though, you're a beginner and don't know the difference between a good instrument and rig from a bad one. It will take at least 4 to 6 months before you'll be able to tell. Lots of people don't have the budget to get anything better. As a beginner, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to spend 2K $ on your first rig unless you're loaded with money.Last but not least... you said Ibanez. If there's one thing Ibanez does, it's deliver an instrument that plays like one twice the price. I believe their most expensive (non-custom) guitar goes around 2 grand and is endorsed by the likes of Joe Satriani. Yes, that bass is gonna be their bargain-basement model. In a year or three, you'll wanna upgrade if you stay serious about learning.As a beginner, I would say you scored. I would take the Ibanez starter rig over that of any other manufacturer going. You'll need an amp with a lot more poop if you want to play with a drummer, but for your own practice, it's fine. In three months, you'll be playing ---insert current pop-punk band here--- along with the radio just fine.

Question : How can I improve my acoustic bass volume?
I bought an acoustic bass on line, but I'm rather disappointed in it. It doesn't have much volume (If I play with a guitarist, I have to be right beside him for him to hear me. Anyone else has to listen really carefully. I'm pretty much drowned out). Also, when I play on a bass amp, the low B string is quieter than all the others (My friend says its because of the low pitch). Does any one have any ideas on how to improve volume (most of all) and sound?Here's a web address for my guitar type.http://stores.channeladvisor.com/2kool4skool-Musical-Instruments/Items/brc-ga47b-5-nt
Answer:
Much like any instrument, you get what you pay for with an acoustic bass. $120 will not buy you much, unfortunately.If you're playing it "acoustically" - without the benefit of an amp - you will have a hard time being heard regardless of how awesome your bass is. That's why most (if not all) acoustic basses have built-in electronics. They're made to be played through an amp, and are called "acoustic" not because they're good unplugged, but because the guitar's hollow body construction influences the pickup to create a distinct acoustic tone very different from that of an electric bass.So here you have two options as I see it if you're intent on playing unplugged. Switch to a pick if you've been playing finger-style to get a louder, more definite tone, or buy one of those small, battery-operated travel amps that you can play through on the go (even though they sound like crap).As for the low B volume, try turning back the presence because it will bring out the higher pitches more than the lower ones, thus drowning your B string out, etc. Even so, this will probably not have a dramatic effect; you will have to play with the EQ on both guitar and amp. Keep your guitar volume relatively low to avoid feedback, which is problematic with acoustic basses. Also, check your battery and make sure it's fresh.

Question : What Bass Guitar is good for a beginner?
I'm 16, and I want to start playing the bass. I'm one of those very musical people (always listening to music) who doesn't have any musical talent, and it's about time I find some. I want to play the bass because I love the sound of it more than that of a guitar and I'm a big fan of The Beatles and Paul McCartney, and I have some extra money lying around...so why not buy a bass now? So here are some questions:1. Should I go 4, 5, or 6 strings? (what is the difference? I can see 4 is the most common.)2. I see these types of deals for Bass Guitars all over Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-SUNBURST-Electric-Bass-Guitar-Combo-Strap-Gigbag-15w-AMP-/260897078475?p t=Guitar&hash=item3cbead7ccb#ht_2452wt_959 Is it a good deal, do I need an amp to play?3. Should I not buy online and go to a local thrift store, if so, how do I check if it is a good quality bass? I know with regular guitars you can pluck the 12th fret with and without your finger on it, and if it doesn't sound similar, it's bad...does this apply to Bass Guitars? 4. Should I buy new or used?5. How much should I be spending?6. There are no places that have bass guitar lessons around here, can I teach myself bass via general intelligence and YouTube? 7. Can I have fun, and be satisfied playing this instrument solo (not in a band)?8. Any other advice?Okay, So that might seem overwhelming, but just answer as much as you can and I will very much appreciate it.Thanks :D
Answer:
1. 4 is standard and I would recommend starting with 4. Go with 5 later if you wanna get adventurous Five strings usually tuned B0-E1-A1-D2-G2, which provides extended lower range. Five string basses tuned to B-E-A-D-G (and sometimes A-D-G-C-F) are often used in contemporary rock and metal alongside seven string guitars, baritone guitars, and otherwise downtuned instruments.2. No don't get a cheap piece of crap that's junk, yes you need an amp to play. Or if you want you can go line in through a PA but it sounds better through a bass amp.3. Go to a thrift store or Pawn Shop or best option Guitar Center, try every fret and make sure there is no buzzing. And yes you and check intonation by playing 12th fret harmonics and matching to 12th fretted note.4. I recommend NEW you won't go wrong with this Ibanez.http://www.guitarcenter.com/Ibanez-GSR200-4-String-Bass-100463976-i1150632.gc?&source=4WFRWXX &CAWELAID=294835725. Spend at least what was listed above or it'll be junk.6. If your willing and dedicated with the time and effort you absolutely can teach yourself.7. Sure, but it's always more fun with a band.8. Buy a good tuner and a combo amp to start you can always upgrade later. Check out this Peavey amp it rocks.http://www.guitarcenter.com/Peavey-MAX-110-Bass-Combo-104003280-i1145639.gc?&source=4WFRWXX&CA WELAID=37472099Korg tunerhttp://www.guitarcenter.com/Korg-CA-1-Chromatic-Tuner-105473227-i1449478.gc?&source=4WFRWXX&CAW ELAID=439937922

Question : Any guitar ideas for me?
Heyzos! So, here's the deal, I have a little money, and I wanted to get an electric guitar. I originally wanted a portable grand piano, but those are way to big and expensive for me, so I decided that an electric guitar would be pretty sweet.So, I'm a girl, and my hands are pretty small. I tried playing my dad's huge acoustic guitar, but it was sooo big and heavy, plus it had these rough metal strings that hurt a lot, so I gave up on it. I love the sounds of electric guitars anyhow. I looked at Daisy Rock Guitars, and those seem pretty neat, do you guys know anything about them? Are they any good? I'm just a beginner, so I'm not overly concerned with perfect sound and all. I'd prefer a guitar that doesn't sound like crap though...So, if Daisy Rocks are crap, do you guys know any other guitars that would fit me? I like the idea of a smaller neck, and lightweight. Ooh, and keep it under $500 please.PLUS!!! I've been looking at amps and cables. I picked out a Fender Frontman 10G amp and a Lava Cable. Know anything about either one of those?Here's the links to the stuff I'm considering:Guitar:http://daisyrock.com/products/electric/rebel-rockit-supernova/rebel-rockit-supern ovaAmp:http://www.amazon.com/Fender-Frontman-Electric-Guitar-Amplifier/dp/B001L8PIFW/ref=sr_1_2?s=mu sical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1293253860&sr=1-2Cable:http://www.amazon.com/Lava-Magma-Instrument-Cab le-Straight/dp/B003YKDG5O/ref=sr_1_3?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1293258392&sr=1-3
Answer:
their is one ibanez that is the cheapest cause its small in size but has all that is required, epiphone is a good brand so look for some in that zone. overall buy the guitar packages from fender epiphone or ibanez they have fairly small handed guitars

Question : need help buying a new guitar?
its a Starcaster-by-Fender Strat Guitar Full size guitar.Rosewood fretboard.Solid body.Black finish.3 single coil pick-ups.2 tone controls.Volume controland it includes10 watt amp.Nickel strings.spare strings, spare strings, carry case, lead, strap, plectrum, electronic tuner.i'd be playing all types of music but mostly rock and metalits 250 euro and im a beginner you can find more about it at argos.ie>home entertainment and sat nav>musical instruments>guitars>fender>Starcaster-by-Fender Strat Guitar and Amp Set - Black.
Answer:
I don't think that is a real Fender. The guitar head is different from a normal Fender's. I would first check out this link I left for you. It has true Fender guitars. Then look at your link. I think it is a good deal for a guitar and amp but I also think it is a knockoff. It's up to you to take the gamble but I wouldn't buy a guitar with out holding it in my hands first.http://www.fender.com/

Question : What kind of electric guitar should I buy?
I am a musical outlaw. I began with a ukulele at the age of ten, using chords from music that gave ukulele chords. It was factored in with the other toys, and in the course of time it became my favorite toy. It (if you include the guitar it evolved into) still is.But mainly I’m a vocalist. The guitar music is a backdrop for the vocals. I’m sort of the musical opposite of Mississippi John Hurt, whose vocals are to some extent a backdrop for his guitar playing. (Not to slight his vocals -- they are certainly pleasing.)I have never had a lesson, and I have never read a note of music. It was from the beginning the harmony of the strings in the chords that I liked about the instrument. I went as I got older to a baritone uke, then a bass uke, then I discovered that the last four strings of a guitar were the same as the bass uke, so I took the bass E and the A string off and played it, since due to its larger box it had a richer, fuller sound. Then I discovered that if you left the A string on it could be factored in to some chords, and when I did that on the A chord, I was hooked. The fifth string stayed on.I guess the guitar started like that when I was fifteen. Of course, for the first time, I had to start making C chords by putting my middle finger on the second fret of the D string, instead of my thumb. The first time I performed on stage, it was with five strings.At college, I met kids who played guitar, and at parties I would sometimes pick one up and start playing it, mostly just avoiding the bass E string. People started showing me guitar chords, I learned them and also how to transpose into other keys than C. I had always played everything by ear, in C. Nowadays I usually play in A or E.The next thing that happened was notes. I became interesting in picking them, and just by fooling around when I felt like playing with it, have gotten to where I can do some fun things with single notes.I have begun to be drawn to electric now. I had never played one, so I went up to Guitar Center and explained it all, and the salesguy gave me one to play with, so I did. When he came back he asked how I liked it, and I said it was OK, but I didn’t see that it did anything that I couldn’t do on my accoustic.So he took me back and plugged me into an amp with a wicked cool effect box built into it, and I began experimenting with the various settings, and time I got done I knew I would want to factor some of this into the act, but in my own way.So that’s where I am. When I survey the field of electric guitars available, I find such a wide variety and such a huge gamut of prices that I am at a loss to know what price range to select. I will perform with this instrument -- it will not be just for learning. I expect I will want one of those bar levers that you find under the strings.Specific recommendations are appreciated.If you know someone who might be better to answer it, they could email me at michaelnestor@yahoo.comThank you, sam-with-a-small-s. How very nice of you to take the time to give such a detailed answer. I will study it closely, and bear it in mind when I make my selection
Answer:
Ha Being good 1 we have chatted before, I prefer Gibson LPs,( personal choice) thats my main axe, I use 3 on stage, I also use a double lock Strat and a 3/4 size old Memphis it just has a vibe to it. when you find a guitar that just feels good you will know it, I use a variety of pedals all thru a vintage JTM60 Combo Marshall and a fender blues JR both miked with a shure SM57s, thats gives me every tone heard on the radio. I could go on about every tone but here is not the place or space I have found its not the most expensive but the one that makes you want to play more ,my start was a $80 dollar pawn shop find I up graded w/ David gilmore EMGs. I prefer all tube amps and dedicated effect pedals and my other guitar player likes his bossall in one pedal board. The variables are endless,,,,,,,, find what what moves you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Question : Feedback on essay please?
So this is like a personal statement type essay. I replaced the names of schools, and places, and people, with random letters for the purpose of posting this on yahoo LOL. And the formatting is all messed up. But please give me some feedback.My life doesn’t have one defining moment that changed what or who I am today. But it does have something that affects probably everything about me. And that would be a necessarily broad word: music. There are those websites out there like MLIA (My Life is Average) where people share stories about how average their life is. Mine would be MLIM, my life is music. I was one of those little kids who, when they wanted something, would endlessly nag for it. Whether it would be running into my parent’s bedroom at six AM talking really fast, or bring it up at dinner. At the age of three my parents signed me up for “Tune Tales,” a place where young kids could learn about, and experiment with, different types of musical instruments and musical styles. It was there that I met my first violin. After that, every day it was “Mom wake up! Let me play the violin.” Or “Dad, wouldn’t it be awesome if I happened to play a certain four stringed musical instrument.” But at the age of three, my parents understandably thought I was too young. I kept on nagging, and it paid off. I remember on my sixth and a half birthday (which also happens to be Valentine’s Day) my parents gave me a note which sent me on a scavenger hunt. First I found a piece of sticky rosin, next a shoulder rest, then a set of strings, and finally my violin. Looking back it was a terrible instrument that made sounds that were a mosquito to my parent’s ears. But at the time, it was my own Stradivarius. I played that thing for 6 years, and in a multitude of places.In XPXPPXPXPXPXP where I live, I am so lucky to have schools that excel strongly in the arts. One of these places is GHSSJSJSKJ Middle school. I joined the orchestra, but I had never really been a classical music person. I wanted to play the foot tapping and danceable Jazz. Unfortunately, the violin was, nor is, considered a “typical” big band instrument. So, much to my chagrin, the band teacher at first gave me the “well, we don’t take those” response. Yet eventually after some thought, he decided to give it a shot. So I joined the HFHJSAKAK middle school Junior Jazz Band. To me, violins are made for Jazz: Stephane Grappelli and Joe Venutii to name a few artists. But, I had to admit in somewhat defeat, that they were not meant for traditional big band settings. They played in a different key than most of the other instruments, and could only be heard faintly if they were plugged into a guitar amp. So, with the support of my parents and band director (who very kindly lent me an instrument), I took up Alto saxophone. After a year of that, I picked up my second true love, the Baritone saxophone. My parents keep asking what its appeal is after I complain about how heavy it is, or how I will get back problems in ten or fifteen years. I like it because it plays you. My whole body resonates when it is sounded. At that same school in eighth grade, I had a science teacher who was strict, so at the time I was frustrated. But at the end of the year she made us individually all create and complete our own science project that, if it was chosen by her, could be entered in the city wide science fair. I was stumped for a while. I had been riding the music vein through middle school, and my mom had constantly high blood pressure, so I ended up choosing my topic on how music affects blood pressure. My results were pretty inconclusive partially because when I started playing rap music in my experiment (Stronger by Kanye West,) my test subjects kept singing and dancing along. Nevertheless, I got to be one of two people from my school picked to go to the district wide science fair. I managed to be one of three students to win top honors. It made me realize that she was a very good teacher with our best interests at heart. Secondly it was the first time that my interest of music was linked with my interest in science. So yes, I am a music nerd, and a band geek. I say it with pride. My Mom and I play bluegrass and old time fiddle tunes to relax, and I play in three bands currently. Music has been the thing for me that has seeped into every aspect of my life, bringing me to science, to jazz, to swing dancing and gotten me the great group of friends that I have. My Life Is Music, MLIM.

Question : Electric guitar buzzing, please help.?
I have a Westwood guitar and amp, (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-Full-Size-Electric-Guitar-Package-and-15W-Amplifier_W0QQitemZ370174377173 QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item370174377173&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trk parms=72%3A1688|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1308)when I got it, a few months ago, it sounded fine, but now, when I use the E, A and D strings, mostly the E string, it makes such an annoying buzzing sound. Even when the amp isn't in, it keeps making this buzzing sound.No matter how I tune it or play it, it keeps happening. Is it the string vibrating off the frets?Please help! How can I fix it?Thanks! x
Answer:
if it creates this buzzing when u play the strings, rather than when it's left still it is probably your 'action' being too low. U just need to raise it up using an alan key and this will stop it buzzing on the frets.If you need help with how to do this msg me and i'll b happy to explain it to you.J

Question : Guitar help please :)?
Hey guys,I buying a new electric guitar, and my dad is only giving me 200 US dollars. So I need to budget well. I found a couple sets, so I need help in deciding what to get. One of these two:http://www.amazon.com/Kalos-Cecilio-EGP-MR-Metallic-DVD/dp/B004Z8PKJO/ref=sr_1_5?s=musical-instr uments&ie=UTF8&qid=1309750954&sr=1-5ORhttp://www.amazon.com/Electric-Guitar-Package-Instructional-GA 1065/dp/B000WY3HPO/ref=pd_cp_MI_1I don't know which one to get. If there are any pros to help me, I would be very grateful. Also, just in case the strings on these cheap sets are sharp, or what not, I'm getting a set of different strings:http://www.amazon.com/DAddario-EXL110-Electric-Guitar-Strings/dp/B0002F7K7Y/ref=sr_1_1?s=mus ical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1309750392&sr=1-1If anyone has any other cheap guitar packages that are good, please tell me.About the amp, I want the amp to be able to do a punk rockish kind of sound. How would I do that?If I can't do it with the amp alone, I'm looking to buy a pedal:http://www.amazon.com/Danelectro-D-1-Distortion-Effects-Pedal/dp/B0009DXEEM/ref=sr_1_1?s=music al-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1309750178&sr=1-1ORhttp://www.amazon.com/Danelectro-D-2-Overdrive-Effects -Pedal/dp/B000EEN9OG/ref=sr_1_5?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1309750178&sr=1-5Don't really know the difference between distortion or overdrive, so I don't know which will give me the wanted sound. One more question, you need two cords to connect a single pedal right? One from the guitar to the pedal, and another from the pedal to the amp?Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance,John.@drfbiovnwoeidfqiwbef,what about the sets i've included? are they any good?
Answer:
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/peavey-solo-guitar-practice-amp/481334000000000 + http://www.musiciansfriend.com/search/search.jsp?question=squier+bullet and you should be good. and also check out justinguitar.com its a really good free website with excellent free lessons. and also there is no need for you to have a pedal at this point. if you get a combo amp with built in gain than you will have distortion which in turn will give you your punk rock sound. no need to replace the strings just yet anyway, factory strings are crap but just wait until they break. i highly recommend my suggestions and hope you one day become an excellent guitar player

Question : Guitar tuning trouble.?
The other day I found an electric guitar and amp for 70 bucks. I figured it was too good a deal to pass up and set out to learn how to play. I put strings in (I'm almost 100% sure I did that part right.) and downloaded this program "PitchPerfect musical instrument tuner." It has a simple set up where you select the instrument and then tuning (I picked standard, I'm not sure what Open A major even means.) Anyhow it prompts you to select a string and when you play it shows you how far off it is. Depending if it is too high or low it tells you to tune it up or down. Now here is where the problem starts. No matter how tight or loose I make the string I'm nowhere close to the desired note. It's always telling me it's too high even if I loosen it to the point where I could take the strings off. I thought maybe if I tightened it a lot the note would come back around or something but I just got a snapped string for my trouble. What am I doing wrong?
