[identifying-guitars-in-posts]

Alright so far left one is a Squier Stratocaster, because of the shape of the headstock I suspect it's a Classic Vibe/Affinity Series model (or an older model I'm unfamiliar with)

here's a modern classic vibe for reference

Middle is a Squier Telecaster, looks to be standard (not deluxe or thinline) but the 2nd string tree is throwing me off, again the exact model is probably something I'm unfamiliar with

here's a new(ish) Squier Affinity tele for reference (no particular reason for this model, I just want one)

Right one is a Yamaha TRBX Series bass, kind of impossible to identify any further cause the headstocks of that series are so similar

here's a TRBX604FM for reference

I bought a skirt. I like how it looks.. but I'm embarrassed to go outside with it on.

Should I feel bad that I enjoy wearing this as much as I do? Am I allowed to like wearing it as much as I do? Will everyone judge me?

I want to wear it regardless.

July blog post (2022) ⛱

Things to look out for when buying a bass guitar + a beginner's Yamaha TRBX 174 review.

I did it!

I spent money on this!

Was it worth it?

..

In meantime it is.

After looking at some beginner level bass guitars, I decided to buy a brand new bass guitar of my own– the Yamaha TRBX 174 EW ('exotic wood' instead of the monochromatic finish on the standard models, only a visual difference). Apparently this line of Yamaha basses are pretty high quality despite their entry level status and has all the functions that a beginner might want:

It’s the perfect bass to learn on if you’re eager to start playing but don’t have that much money yet. The stock pickups on the Yamaha TRBX174 offer a good range of tones, from crisp trebles, to punchy mids, to smooth lows. https://www.knowyourinstrument.com/yamaha-trbx174-electric-bass-guitar-full-review/#google_vignette

But just by the aesthetics, the exotic wood finish, while has no functional differences, just looks good and I'm quite satisfied with it (gives it a bit of an acoustic vibe~).

If you're going for something more classic looking, then the standard TRBX 174 models is sufficient enough, especially considering the slightly higher cost of the EW model.

There's also an option when buying through a retailer to also ship an amp and a stand for about ￦80,000 in addition to the original price of about ￦350,000. A must buy for beginners who don't have any equipment.

There is one thing though– the 'patented' A shape guitar stand.

'기타를 거치할수 있는 A자 스탠드' ('An A shaped guitar stand that can hold the guitar up')

Lies

Every time I pick up the bass guitar, the bass always seems to be out of tune, making me have to annoyingly retune the bass each time I want to play, adding a minute or two to my routine. I found out that it's because the stand was meant for an acoustic guitar, so the bass guitar was sliding off and supporting the entire weight of the neck on the tuners–except when there was the perfect amount of space in between to prevent it from touching the wall.

'Don't be like me and buy an acoustic guitar stand for a bass guitar.' - Sun Tzu, The Art of War.

Here's a list of thing to look out for that I found during my research so that you can avoid a costly mistake and optimize your spendings as a low-commitment beginner 🔰:

Additional equipment.

(sites like G market are good for these type of deals as they often source their stuff from music shops and create beginner friendly packages)

http://item.gmarket.co.kr/DetailView/Item.asp?goodscode=2355730329&GoodsSale=Y&jaehuid=200002657&service_id=estimatedn

In addition to the amp, stand, and the bass itself, there are some essential equipment that'll make your practicing a bit easier.

Clip shaped tuner (cheap tuner that comes with production instruments, helps to tune through vibrations without using an amp)

Cable (to connect to the amp)

Strings (more strings in case they snap 😖 or get dirty)

Strap (for playing standing up)

Pick (for techniques such as downpicking and a sharper tone)

Microfibre cloth (to polish the guitar and keep it clean)

2. Type of pickups

There are two main kinds of pickups for bass guitars,

Jazz pickups, the traditional pickups used for genres such as jazz, soul, punk, metal, and rock–they offer a brighter sound on the highs.

Precision pickups, the newer pickups used for genres such as rock, punk, surf, and grunge–they offer a more deeper and dark sound on the lows.

There are also P/J pickups where both types of pickups are installed to let you mix the sounds of both depending on what you want, and is a common beginner feature to allow for versatility. This bass has it too.

3. Scale/fret number

The standard bass is about 34", which means that the length of the neck is about that length–this means that due to the larger distance between frets, it may be more difficult to extend your fingers especially if you have small hands. That's why options such as short scale basses that are only 30" in length allow to play while adapting to your hand size. UNLESS you have unusually small hands, most learn to play on the standard bass, moving their hands across the fretboard using position changes and shifting it slightly each time you cannot reach in the same position.

The fret count (i.e. your range) is typically about 20 in a standard 4 string bass (5 strings adds a lower B string and a 6 string adds a higher C string), with some going up to 24 frets–this is mostly irrelevant as a beginner as you'd most likely be working with the first two E and A strings. However, if you have some songs that you want to learn later on that seem oddly high or low, you might want to do some more research to see if you need the extra frets or not. (more strings are unrecommended as it creates more difficulties for a beginner with muting)

4. Aesthetics

The last thing you want to consider when buying a bass guitar are the aesthetics. It's a simple question, but it just ensures that you'll enjoy playing the instrument while you're holding it and that you'll stick with it because you chose something that you wanted.

...

😊

...

Honestly, after considering all this, I'm pretty satisfied with my purchase. I wanted a 24 fret bass because a solo I want to learn later down the line required the 24th fret and it's a nice reminder as to why I wanted to learn bass in the first place. (apply meaning to what you do~)

Since my tutors don't begin until next month (which I highly recommended if you don't want to waste any more money), I've been looking at some bass cover videos on youtube that have tabs and been following them for fun. Surprisingly, even simple bass lines such as 'another one bites the dust' looks very complicated right now.

Time to give this one a go~
