Almost all of us have spent our childhood dreaming of who or what we want to become. Some dream of reaching high in the skies as rocket scientists or astronauts while some took the liberty of starring as the best medical specialist ready to take on the most devastating and wily diseases known to man. For some the limelight allures as they are magnetized by the music weapon of their choice. They rally on to become the best entertainers the world can come to love.
High school parades in our lives as one of the most colorful pages. In this stage of our lives, we meet people and do all sorts of hobbies that shapes the type of individual we become. One very famous bonding activity comes into mind—combos. Combos or modern day band acts are composed of a group of people sharing the same kind of love for a certain music genre. Guitars, drums, keyboards, and of course the bass synchronize in harmony and technology to form the bands very identity.
The electric bass is one instrument that is not very common to some people. The bass guitar is very similar to the guitar except that it has a larger body, a longer neck and scale length, and usually has four strings tuned to the same pitch as that of the double bass having pitches one octave lower than those of the four lower strings of the guitar (E, A, D, and G).
The electric bass guitar or more simply known as the bass is played with the fingers or thumb either by plucking, slapping, popping, tapping, or thumping or by utilizing what is called as the plectrum.
The plectrum or in layman’s term the pick, is a tiny flat tool used for plucking or strumming. Just like its buddy the guitar, the electric bass is connected into an amplifier and speaker to pump up the volume in live performances.
In life we are always offered different kinds of instruments to play with, what’s always important is how we keep it clean, smooth, and real. This is the basis on getting a great performance even when just starting with the music field. When you care for your instrument, it also means that you are also caring for your sound and your music. It represents your passion for your craft and how well you want to improve it.
