select a bass based on the number of strings
Here are tips for those of you who want to buy or choose several types of bass based on the number of strings.
Every kind of musical instrument, have a range or a range of tones. So is the bass instrument. Range of tones generated from the bass instruments can be influenced by several factors.
First, is the amount of contained in the instrument fretboard bass. More and more of the fretboard on the bass, the more range of tones produced by the bass. Number of frets of the bass instruments are usually numbered 22 fret or 24 fret, but there are some bass fretnya numbered only 20, for example in precission classic Fender bass. There are also some bass that amount fretnya more than 24 fret, for example, contained in Tune Bass Maniac, who fretnya numbered 25.
Second, is the number of strings contained in the bass instrument. In this case, Bass guitar is divided into a number according to the number of strings, namely:
4 strings
Bass standard tuning configuration with an open string: EADG (low to high).
5 strings
Just like a standard 4 string bass, it's just that there are additional low B string on the fourth string (E string). Configuring the open string tuning: B E A D G With a 5 string bass is usually used to reach a lower tone than the standard bass.
6 strings
Just like bass 5 string, just that there are additional high C string under the first string (G string). Configuring the open string tuning: B E A D G C Bass with 6 strings are usually used to reach a lower tone and higher than standard bass.
7 strings
Bass with a string of more than 6 may very rarely we come across. For bass with 7 strings, open string tuning configuration: BEADGC F. Just like bass 6 strings, just that there are additional high F string below the string G. Bass 7 string function is the same with bass 6 strings, only in the high tone of this bass can be more tar "exploitation". Bass like this is produced by Conklin, who is a specialist custom bass maker.
8 strings
This bass has the same configuration tuning standard 4 string bass, it's just that in every - each with a string of duplicated strings sounding one octave higher.
10 strings
Tuning has the same configuration with standard 5 string bass, it's just that in every - every strings are also duplicated with the strings of his tone an octave higher.
12 strings
Has the same configuration tuning with standard 4 string bass, but on each string is also held 3, with 2 strings are an octave higher or an octave higher strings with + a string again with his fifth tone (E to B, A to E, D with A , and G with D). Includes rare bass, produced by Hamer and Warwick.
Some players still rely on professional bass 4 string bass as a weapon of its flagship (Marcus Miller, Jaco Pastorius, Flea, Arya Setyadi, etc.). However, there are also some other bass players who prefer bass multistring (double bass strings), and made their hallmark in the game.
Examples of players who use a 5 string bass, among others: Nathan East, session player bass player that passage a lot to fill the album - an album renowned musicians, and Stanley Clarke, who also created the slap and pop technique that became known as the funky thumb. For rock music there is a name - the name of a kind of Jason Newsted (Metallica), Dave Ellefson (Megadeath), and Rex Brown.
Meanwhile, bass 6 strings is a "weapon" for a few bass players, like John Pattitucci, and John Myung (Dream Theater). There are times when bass 6 strings still felt less, then some other players using the bass 7 strings to "exploitation" tone more, especially in a solo improvisation.
If the bass five, six, and seven strings are intended to reach out to tone lower or higher, then the bass multistring created with the aim to produce dual tone sound.
Bass Such is the eight-string bass which was originally played by John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin) to get a sound like a bass and rhythm guitar are played simultaneously. This is needed by the band because they only have a guitar player who will stop playing rhythm while he played lead guitar / solo.
Similarly, the bass who has ten strings, functions also produce sounds such as bass and rhythm guitars are played simultaneously. Sometimes, a function that was not enough, because the rhythm guitar sound produced consists of only one tone. Meanwhile, if you want to match the actual rhythm guitar, the sound produced by a minimum is 2 tone (with playing power chords).
So, bass player Doug Pinnick sorts (King's X) was put on the twelve string bass sound like a bass who has played in unison with the rhythm guitar playing power chords. Just like Led Zeppelin, King's X had only had a guitar player, so Doug had the same argument with John Paul Jones on bass multistring use.
Apart from some type of bass above, for us the beginner or intermediate bass player, you should consider again the functions and needs of the bass which will we choose. We must adjust the function of the bass to the needs of the music we play, whether the bass that we select will indeed necessary or not? Or just for style - the style of the course?
In the past, times when I was just learning bass, and saw some people using string bass strings 5 or 6, giving the impression that the player was good. In fact, not necessarily like that right? Not necessarily as well in the game the player uses all the tone and the strings are there on the bass.
