Acoustic Basses
Acoustic bass guitars differ significantly from their electric counterparts in that the strings tend to be thicker, the action (i.e. the distance from fretboard to strings) usually higher and their neck longer – all factors which may make playing one harder for beginners.
Acoustic basses are used as accompaniment for various folk and acoustic instruments, including violins. Rock musicians often employ this instrument for adding bass frequencies into their songs. Acoustic bass instruments offer musicians the freedom of playing without using an amplifier – something electric basses cannot do.
Acoustic basses feature four strings tuned an octave lower than those found on 6-string acoustic guitars, and some models offer an additional fifth string to produce a fuller sound. Body sizes for these instruments also vary widely, so select one that best meets your comfort and playing style – look out for features like the Luminlay fretboard side dots that allow players to see their fretboard position under low light conditions.
Electric Guitars
When selecting an electric guitar, it’s essential to keep in mind the style of music you plan on playing. Body shape and neck size can have an impactful impact, with thinner necks being preferred by shredders while thicker necks tend to work better for blues and rock players. Hardware also plays an integral part in maintaining tuning stability and sound quality of the instrument.
Pickups are another essential consideration; these magnets housed within a bobbin wrapped with wire translate vibrations from moving strings into electrical signals that your amplifier can read. Single coil pickups tend to be found on Fender guitars and provide bright, clear sound; whereas humbuckers offer fuller tones and offer greater warmth; some models even incorporate both types of pickups for maximum versatility! Occasionally there are guitars which combine single and humbucking pickups for optimum results!
Noteworthy is also that many popular artists offer signature models, allowing you to play the guitar of their musical hero and replicate their tone. One such guitar is the Squier Classic Vibe ’60s Stratocaster which boasts all of the signature looks and playability associated with legendary models at a much lower cost.
Electric Basses
Bass guitar can be easy to pick up, yet requires an altogether different mindset and approach than most instruments; many guitarists often struggle when trying their hands at bass guitar.
