Electric bass guitars create a very striking sound that gives a punch to any type of music. The sound it gives rise to is lower and deeper than normal guitars. These have a longer neck and are tuned an octave lower in pitch than a normal guitar.
Bass guitars are based on the double bass, and the sound it turns out is magical to the ears. It has a similar range as other bass instruments. The bass guitar just like a classic guitar with a bass design. Its body is made of wood, with an option of a entirely hollow body, partially hollow body or exclusively solid body. The electric bass, in contrast to the double bass, is played while kept horizontally all over the body. Unlike the double bass, it is not played with a bow; instead, it is normally plucked with the fingers, thumbs or plectra. You may play the electric bass guitar sitting or standing.
The bass players in general stand while playing, altho sitting is likewise accepted, peculiarly in the orchestral settings. However, it is a matter of player’s preference as to which position gives him the greatest ease of playing. When sitting and playing, the instrument may without apparent effort be balanced on the thighs or legs. A bass guitar suits almost all kinds of music, like rock, jazz and pop, but it’s very standard in contemporary music. Playing a guitar is fun, but the electric bass guitar unquestionably add that little sound and vibration to your fingers as you take pleasure in playing it.

 No CD makes this extra difficult to understand
By A
Like a good deal of other Berklee Bass books, this DOES NOT have a CD.
That makes this a very difficult book to work through, in particular on your own. Maybe, with an Advanced instructor, it would be easier. But, for self-study, the writers do not provide sufficient clear or deep perception or assistance.
Also, something very troubling I found with this book — there were places where special notations were applied but never referenced. The writers seem to be in such a hurry to present complex data that they neglect EXPLAINING the references and notations they use. This makes it IMPOSSIBLE to perceive what they’re attempting to communicate. Very Frustrating and a major no-no for any published work that claims to be “instructional”. This book ought to have gone through a “technical edit” routine before it was published.

 Excellent
By Peter Argondizza
Reading contemporary bass rhythms provides both the student and teacher similar a comprehensive and organized guide to modern bass playing. Because the book stresses reading and omits tablature, it will strength and give hope or courage to the student to improve their reading: doing so by providing systematic exercises and musical examples that have real performance application in respective styles. Having applied this book with great success with various students, I commend it as an necessary factor to bass guitar education.
