What does the Bass Guitar look like?
The bass guitar looks like an ordinary electric guitar except it has a longer neck and only four strings (5 or 6 string versions are available). The bass has only 20 frets but the neck is longer as the frets are each longer than that of the electric guitar. It is possible to get a fretless bass guitar aswell which allows for a smoother tone and sounds alot better in jazz style music.
A Double Bass looks like a Cello only alot bigger. Generally played standing up from behind the instrument, it is far less common than the electric bass but, unfortunately, far more expensive.

What is your aria pro2 slb guitar worth?
The Aria SB series bass guitars are very sought after instruments now and are quite rare. I can remember going to the local musical instrument stores in London in eighty two and recalling the price of a brand new SB1000 retailing at £649.00
In 2005 I bought the double pick-up SB elite II in metalic blue for £349.00 (original)
And I have recently viewed a SBR 150 for £ 899.00 @ the bass cellar in tin pan alley
London. THE SBR 150 is an SB1000 with two pick ups and Zebra wood front and back
On eBay a Black SB elite I sold for £499.00 aprox 6 months ago.
About a year ago I viewed a single pick up CB (CARDINAL SERIES BASS) @ Rockbottom music store in croydon retailing at £ 189.00
In general I would say that single pick up SB series sell between £250-500
and double pick up SB made between 82-85 £300-900 + all depending on how much
the buyer is willing to own a very well crafted great sounding instrument.
My description of the sound of the SB series basses by ARIA would be for the single
pick up a tighter fender precision and for the double p/u very fat and chunky.
They sound like Alembics and they feel just as accuarate & proffessional unlike alot
of the basses that are produced now and sold for the price that you can by an original SB for.

What is the value of an Aspen AD35 acoustical guitar?
The Aspen AD35 made in Japan is one of those best kept secret guitars that is now getting the recognition that only a choice few were privy to until recently. It is the flagship top of line acoustic for this company intended to compete with Martin's D35.
Original owners generally state an average purchase price of $300 new in the mid / latter 1970's. to get in indication of the quality & pricing of the era, I paid $275 for a new us made Martin D28 in 1972. So that was a lot for money for a MIJ guitar of the day.
Many have noted that in spite of the post Brazilian Rosewood International ban, this model was often constructed with solid Brazilian Rosewood ( Japan is not known for it's compliance of International bans (ie) contemporary whaling.
Excellent craftsmanship of the Aspen AD35 as well as the all solid high quality tone woods have made this acoustic Dreadnaught survivor sought after by players and collectors alike. It's signature sound is rich and full and very close to Martin's D35.
Pricing as of 2011 is on the rise. Asking price ranges from a few hundred dollars to as high as $2000 as noted on the net. One went on the market a few months ago and sold for $750 very quickly. Depending on the condition, expect to pay $500 to $1000 for one in good condition. They are sometimes found at yard sales, flea markets etc on the cheap but getting rare.
It is important to note that Aspens AD35 model is unique to the companies average builds. Most if not all the other models fail to share it' all solid quality tone wood construction. The Aspen AD35 is the cream of the companies crop. Most, if not all of of the lower end models do not share it's value. Be sure to Look for the Gold Foil Aspen Label well marked AD35 with a corresponding serial number.

How does decreasing the length of a guitar string change its vibration?
Well, the vibrations from the strings would have more room to vibrate in the body, thus producing a deeper sound.
On an electric guitar, what you are hearing are the strings vibrating; on an acoustic, this effect is carried around the hollow cavity in the guitar, which is then channeled out of the sound hole, it is this effect that gives an acoustic guitar so much more output than a strictly electric guitar.
The F35 is a full size acoustic folk guitar, an entry level instrument by Yamaha. I have one, and it is a very well made instrument for the price.. just replace the bridge pins and saddle with something of higher quality, and throw some ernie ball slinkies on, and you've got a very nice sounding all-around acoustic with minimal investment. It is very pretty too and I like it alot.
How do you mute a note on the guitar?
You place your picking palm on the bridge while strumming. You want to find the balance between placing your palm in the middle of the picking area and being near the bridge so that you're muting the strings, but there's still some tone coming through.
What are the pros and cons of the Ibanez S series?
Its kind of a general question, since the rg series has many different models.
Here is a quick list
pro: confortable neck, decent pickups, locking trem (350 and higher). versitile. Ibanez Rg is good for metal, rock, jazz and so forth.
con: cheap materials. Tuners and the metal used for the locking trem. The knife edges which help the trem go back to the neutral position often wear out quickly. After they are worn the trem cannot go back to the neutral position and tuning stability is lost. They would need to be sharpened, but the trem is replaceable. Often even on the fixed bridge guitars tuning is questionable. It may take effort to make it work right

Is the Gibson maestro a good guitar?
Well they are cheap and I am pretty sure Argos sells them. Not a good sign. You should try out any guitar before you buy it to make sure you like it. I haven't played one before but I doubt they are good. Do some research - look for some reviews, maybe a video of someone playing one etc.
Just like all regular guitars, when you tune your guitar down to a low tuning, obviously its wonky and it isn't built to handle the tuning. and the bridge is also i dont like because its hard to get your strings around it. and whenever i play so hard, i hurt my fingers. but i think its treating me well but i wouldn't get that guitar. start with a fender stratocaster guitar.
