Bass compare and contrast
When I first began playing bass I did not have any help trying to figure out which instrument to purchase. I simply chose a bass guitar based on what color it was. I later figured out that there are actually quite a few things that need to be considered when choosing a bass guitar; for instance, the way the bass looks, the type of features that come included, and the overall price of the instrument. These are details that need to be looked into whenever purchasing a bass guitar. The Warwick Rockbass, and the Flea Street Bass are two basses that I personally recommend. The Warwick Rockbass is an excellently crafted instrument that is manufactured in Germany. Its tone is better suited for music styles such as rock or metal, but since it has high quality jazz pickups it can achieve a very large range of musical styles. This instrument is also very customizable thanks to its two piece bridge system, which allows for the player to adjust the space between each string. This feature adds a complete new level of customization that makes the instrument more personal to the player.

The Warwick's body is made up of Alder, and is covered with a beautiful almond sunburst paint job. The neck is comprised of maple with the addition of ekanga veneers, which allow the player to move up and down the neck more quickly. On top of the neck is a rosewood fingerboard that is inlaid with brass frets. The pickups on the bass are two passive MEC jazz style pickups, which are controlled with 4 knobs. These knobs allow the player to control the volume, the tone, the neck pickup, and the bridge pickup. The playability of the instrument can be gauged by several different aspects including the tone, the "quickness" of the neck, and the space of the strings. The tone of the Warwick is very bright, and has the ability to be easily heard among other instruments . The "quickness" of the neck is how fast a player can move his/her fingers across the fret board. The quickness of the

    Rockabilly is one of the oldest styles of rock and roll. It blends rock and roll with the music genre of bluegrass and country music, with the rhythm of blues music. It can be known for “hillbilly” music, but with the influence it has on today's music, it would not be labeled for “hillbillies”, and yet it had the beat of swing. In the book, “The Appearance of the Electric Bass Guitar: A Rockabilly Perspective” written by Roy C. Brewer, He writes about the different basses that were used in rockabilly which gave the genres sound. He explains how in the early 1950s, rockabilly was popular due to the fact they were one of the first genres to introduce rock…

    The Holocaust in a whole is about people trying to survive. Both “Broken Glass, Broken Lives” and “A Survivor Remembers” tell a story about a survival, only each story has a different survival. In the story “Broken Glass, Broken Lives” by Arnold Geier the general topic is to escape while he still can. The general topic in “A Survivor Remembers” is going day by gruesome day till you can’t anymore. These topics are different but yet the same; they both deal with some sort of survival. Mister Geier in “Broken Glass, Broken Lives” survives not being taken by the Nazis and avoids the terrifying events that could have happened to him but have happened to millions of others. Berek Laturas in “A Survivor Remembers” is a different kind of survivor. He went through all of the horrible events of the Holocaust but somehow by the end of the war he survived it all, which six million others didn’t. The occasion of both stories is almost the same. They both took place in Germany and during the Hitler era. However in “Broken Glass, Broken Lives” it was only at the rise of Hitler, “A Survivor Remembers” was throughout all the events of the Holocaust.…

    Throughout the short story “The Bass, the River, and Sheila Mant” the boy must decide between the bass and Sheila. The boy will pick the bass for several reasons. The first reason he will chose the bass is he has a long history with bass. This quote proves this, “The bass was slanting towards the rocks on the New Hampshire side by the ruins of Donaldson’s boat house. It had to be an old bass-a young one probably wouldn’t have known the rocks were there. I brought the canoe back into the middle of the river, hoping to head it off” (Wetherell 3). This demonstrates that he knows the river and the bass well in order to know that only an old bass would know the rocks are there. Another reason he will pick the bass is he has a strong passion for…
