Beep repaired- be prepaired

In purist term, most items need to be 100 years old or older to be considered true "antiques". Most countries Customs Agencies hold to the 100 Year definition. However, in recent times the 100 years timetable has become subjective, and can account for less time. It's safe to say a table from 1880 is a true antique, whereas a table from 1942 would be "vintage".

Yes.

Go to Mexican speaking restaurants as often as possible. Watch as many shows and movies in Spanish as you can, also the children show Dora The Explorer is a great way for some people to learn the language. Some teachers believe that the best way to learn any language is to give a spelling test of some sort every other day, but that is actually the worst way to learn. Te best way is to learn the language is by taking a test at the end of every week.

He can play basic chords, but is not a skilled musician.

The notes are all relatively in the same places, but the electric bass is on a much smaller scale and has frets, making fingerings generally easier. Also, bass guitar uses all four fingers independently (e.g. index on F, middle on Gb, ring on G, and pinky on Ab), while, because of the bigger scale, double bass only uses three fingers independently (e.g. index on F, middle on Gb, and pinky on G supported by ring finger)

It could be a number of things, but fluorescent lighting in or near the room will cause what's called a "60Hz hum." If this is the case you could try to reverse the polarity on the 'Mains Plug'. i.e the AC mains leading to the step down transformer. Alternatively confirm the same by switching off circuits (Tubelights, television etc) one at a time, to see if this hum stops. Particularly if the hum stops when you switch of the television - have the TV repaired fopr faulty filter capacitor. If the hum is caused by earthing or neighbouring tubelights check the shield of the amplifier.The shield is supposed to be grounded to effectively eliminate the electric fields surrounding the same. If it's more like a buzzing sound, there may be a loose connection in either jack (the guitar's or the amp's) or the patch cable itself; there might be a poor solder somewhere; or you might just be picking up interference from a nearby electronic device. If it's really noticeable, you might consider taking the amplifier to a local repair shop and having them take a look at it. It could also be a poor ground, which will require re-wiring of the outlet or possibly the entire electrical system in that area of the building. Try plugging the amp into different outlets and see if the hum subsides; if it doesn't, it's likely an issue with the amp or the guitar themselves.

Bass Guitars A four string bass has an open string arrangement consisting of E, A , D , and G (from thickest to thinnest). This is the standard bass arrangement. The five string bass also has the E, A, D, and G arrangement, but adds an extra low B string above the E. This allows for a broader reach in note pitch since you are allowed for extra notes with the B string. For instance, on a standard four string bass you would have to tune down the E string two frets to get the dropped D pitch. But with a five string bass, there is no need to tune your E string since the D can be played on the third fret of the newly added fifth string (the B string). This lower B is especially popular with the modern hard rock/thrash metal crowd, and some of the screamo bands. For many players, there is a struggle with the low-b being "sloppy", which can largely be corrected by using a longer scale neck (35" at a minimum) and/or a different brand or gauge of strings Standard four string bass: E A D G Five string bass: B E A D G Six string bass: B E A D G C NB: you can also, if you wish, instead of using the extra string for a low B, you can retune the first four strings into standard tuning, I.e, E-A-D-G, and have the highest string as a high C. This arrangement is used quite frequently by bassists who prefer tighter strings, and an extra range up high, as well as getting a deeper, more bass-y sound from the thicker E string.

this is a debatable question. because firstly, the bass guitar is just utilizing the E A D and G strings of a regular guitar except for the fact that they are tuned an octave lower so the question isn't really who invented the "bass" but really who pioneered the idea. in a different universe entirely theres the upright bass which is not only fretless but like its name states it stands upright and the upright bass has been used for many years. research it in musical history books and decide for yourself. hope this helps - Kyse

The guitar's roots are in Spain. It was the spaniard Antonio Torres invented it. Did you know the instrument is over 5000 years old. It is thought to have been invented by the people of Malaga. This early instrument was a "four course" guitar, from which the ukulele is derived. The first guitars were very small, and were originally strung with three to five strings. Each pair was call a course. See the related link for more information.

usually a neck on a bass is longer so that you can play lower notes better
It gives a deeper and "Bassier" tonal quality. Also the strings are longer because of the lower pitch of the notes that are generally played. A pitch of a string depends not only on the length but also the tension. A loose short string doesn't sound as good as a long tighter string.

If you mean the "scale length", (the dimension between the nut and the bridge) it is 34 inches. The overall length (from body to end of end) will depend on the particular model of Fender bass. Over the years Fender has made bass in a number of scale lengths including 30", 32", 34" among others. I couldn't even guesstimate the number of models they've produced! Maybe a couple hundred or more!!!??? That could be a good Wiki.answers question. You can pick up specifications on the new Fender bass models at their website.

A wise bass guru once told me, "There is no one 'Greatest Bass Player' and it is impossible to achive. Instead, set your sights lower, like, being the best bass player in the building... or the room...

Jackson, BC Rich, Ibanez, ESP and let's not forget Gibson. Anyone who disputes that can take it up with Zakk Wylde. Any guitar can either sound good for metal OR with a little money (new pickups, strings etc...) can be made to sound good for metal. The first 4 brands I mentioned are probably the more common names associated with metal music. Schecter should probably also be thrown in there. Truth is that no one guitar is the absolute perfect axe for anything. Much of it is personal preference just like anything else. That is not to say that if you go out and buy the cheapest guitar you can find, that it will sound as good as a high end BC Rich or a Jackson. Not even close. But as we all know, your wallet will play a big part in what you play AND let's not forget what you're plugging into. For example, I still have a lower/middle of the road Ibanez RG3. Paid $299 for it at a Guitar Center Labor Day sale. ($429 regular) Replaced the stock pickups with Seymour Duncan Blackouts. Sounds like a metal beast! Was using it with a Boss Metal Zone pedal, through a Peavey Vypyr 30 watt solid state amp no less (speaker replaced with an Eminence Patriot "Swamp Thang" however) Whole setup was well less than $1000 and sounded vicious! f you have the cash for a BC (very reasonably priced for what you're getting by the way) or my personal fav, a Jackson Soloist. Then get it. But there are many good guitars and amps out there at lower price points.

The bass guitar is used to anchor down the harmonics and lay down the beat and basically smooth things out,However it can also be used as a solo instrument playing beautiful harmonies. All of these reasons are why the bass guitar is an extremely important factor in music

Slapping is usually done on lower strings. Fret a note with your left hand (or right if you play a leftie bass). With your other hand, arch your thumb backwards, and you will feel a hard spot on the backside of the thumb joint. Rotate your wrist to hit the string with that spot on your thumb. Practice this to be able to hit only the string you are playing.

To "pop", fret a note on a high string, and with the same type of motion on your right hand, pull the string outward with your index or index and middle fingers and let it snap back down. If you pull the string too far, you risk breaking strings or pulling the string out of tune,

You can, of course, slap higher strings and pop lower strings, but that's the basic way it's done. Practice, play around with it, and develop your own style.

This depends on what you mean by "how many".

If you mean how many individual pieces of string are used when stringing a racket the number would probably be one or two pieces.

If by how many you wish to know the number of times the strings cross the head or the racket, the answer would vary by racket. The number of times the strings cross is called the "string pattern". To know this information you would have to look on the racket, probably around the throat and look for a number that looks something like "16x18" that means that there are 16 crosses and 18 mains. (Crosses span the narrower part of the head and can be described as running horizontally. The mains span the longer part of the head and are can be described as running vertically.)
