For a long time the job of a bassist has always been thought of as man’s work. There were standout female bass players like Tina Weymouth or Carol Kaye, but in the largely male dominated rock industry, bassists were mostly guys.
That’s really started to change in the past decade or so. Now we see many more female bass players. Here are five top inexpensive basses for beginniners or if you just want a name brand bass guitar without paying a lot:
1 Squier by Fender Affinity Series Bronco Bass Guitar
These basses are just plain cool anyway, forget about the fact they’re only about $150 online. Broncos are super easy to play and have a short 30″ scale neck. A real basic setup – one middle pickup, volume and tone -means there’s not a lot that can go wrong. If there’s ever a problem in the electronics cavity, it should be a simple repair job. Bronco basses are solid instruments and are very cool looking with their shallow cutaways. They also deliver Fender tone for not a lotta $$.
2 Ibanez GSRM20 Mikro Short Scale
This is another short scale bass guitar with a 28. 6″ inch neck. It fits great in smaller hands and would be a great choice for a petite female. By the way, this bass also seriously rocks. The pickups and electronics are quality and record well. The Ibanez mikro short scale is a quality bass that will provide huge low end for you to rock the house.
3 Squier by Fender Affinity Series P Bass or J Bass
Fender Precision and Jazz basses are two of the standard choices for bass guitar players, male or female. Buying one from the Affinity series is a good way to save substantial $$. These are full size basses with long scale necks. They also weigh more than the short scale basses which is something to consider. Full scale basses can be tiresome to have slung over your shoulder for long periods of time – like band rehearsals and gigs. Other than that, a Squier Precision or Jazz bass is a great place to start and a good way to get a new bass at a bargain price.
4 Daisy Rock – Rock Candy Bass (Atomic Pink)

It comes equipped with very good electronics and pumps out the low end. The bass body is contoured body is designed to perfectly fit the female form. A little pricier than the others but well worth the money.

It’s a very lightweight bass and sports a short scale neck. Teen girls and petite women will find this bass most comfortable to play. Because of the shape, it may be difficult to play this bass while sitting. It’s not only an inexpensive alternative, it’s a delightful fashion statement as well.

An acoustic guitar does not have any electronic means of producing its sound. The music that comes out of it is a matter between the guitar and its player. Actually, once upon a time, all guitars were acoustic. Nowadays they need to be distinguished from electric guitars and acoustic guitars that have pickups in them to provide electronic means of amplification. To the beginner guitar player it could be a surprise that there is an enormous range of sizes, shapes and materials in acoustic guitars. To most acoustic guitar players who only play popular music, the main distinction is between nylon string and steel string acoustic guitars. Within the classification of acoustic guitars there’s the Baroque guitar, the classical guitar, the Renaissance guitar, the archtop guitar, the flamenco guitar and the twelve string guitar. The classical guitar is the basic model for the acoustic guitar. Even though steel string acoustic guitars have been developed with a cutaway body to help the guitarist reach the high notes, the classical guitar retains the standard shape which was more or less decided upon a couple of hundred years ago. Classical guitar players use their fingers to pluck and strum the strings, growing the nails on their right hands slightly longer than the nails on the left hand. Although it’s called a classical guitar, many guitarists from many genres have been seduced by the tone of the nylon string guitar. As a result you can find the nylon string sound in jazz, pop, folk or even blues music. The flamenco guitar looks similar to a classical guitar but is lighter in color and weight. The flamenco guitar is traditionally much brighter in sound than the classical guitar even though in recent years many flamenco guitarists have been playing instruments with a more mellow sound similar to the classical guitar. A distinguishing characteristic of the flamenco guitar is the tapping plate which is a piece of white or transparent plastic attached to the body of the guitar just below the sound hole. You will sometimes find flamenco guitars that are fitted with wooden tuning pegs instead of machine heads. All guitars had these kind of tuning pegs once but now they are only retained because some flamenco guitarists prefers them because they keep the weight of the guitar to a minimum. The twelve string guitar has six courses of strings, and it produces a much more complex sound than the six string. The twelve string guitar is made for strumming rather than picking or plucking because the individual courses do not easily lend themselves to single note playing. The twelve string has proved to be very attractive for guitarists who enjoyed experimenting with open tunings. Back in the 70s the image of Jimmy Page playing his double neck guitar was a rock ‘n roll icon. One neck was fitted with twelve strings which allowed him to move between six and twelve string guitar for different effects. Efforts to make the guitar heard above other instruments in jazz bands of the early twentieth century resulted not only in the production of the electric guitar, but also the resonator guitar. In the resonator guitar the sound is produced by metal cones instead of by the wooden body of the guitar. The resonator did not help much with amplification but its distinctive sound has made it a favorite with bluegrass and blues players.

Product Description
The Special Edition is the first two volumes of the Fretboard Logic guitar series combined with a special discount. Part One deals with the pattern organization of the fretboard which results from the guitar’s unique tuning system. Part Two teaches the tone groups of music – Chords, Scales and Arpeggios – by building them in the context of this pattern organization, and thereby eliminating the usual guesswork and rote memorization associated with these areas of a guitarist’s education. This alone can take years off the learning curve. Combined, the two parts form a solid foundation by which a guitarist can intelligently pursue the music styles of their own choosing, and play them on the guitar types which they prefer.

Left Hand guitar players the world over have always had a problem with availability of left handed guitars.

Many left handed people newly learning to play guitar end up learning to play right handed out of frustration. Many experienced left handed guitarists have simply become apathetic and given up looking for that which is abundant for right handed players. Not only is there a limited range of guitars, but the resources for learning are also pretty limited. This situation is the same in every country in the world.

It is not hard to understand. Of the world’s population, left handed people are a minority compared to right handed people. Within this minority there is a further minority of left handed people who play guitar left handed. Despite the small percentage of left handed guitarists, there have been a number of iconic left handed players who have made a huge impact on the music scene. These include Jimi Hendrix, Paul McCartney, Tony Iommi, and Kurt Cobain.

Many of the big guitar manufacturers do not offer left hand versions of some of their popular guitars. to be fair, US guitar manufacturers, have been facing harder and harder times, year after year. We all know that ALL industry (that is trying to do the right thing and being honest) is suffering and this is proportional to the decline of education (kids can’t learn, can’t hold jobs), the rise of drugs (thank you psychiatrists for getting rich by doping a whole generation into a state of useless-ness while brainwashing parents into believing frying kids brains with drugs is good) and increase of social hardship due to the world economic crash that’s going on (thanks Oil companies, banks, and government suppression) So it is tough for all.

Some guitar manufacturers offer left handed versions of their guitars through their Custom Shop. And although this is an attempt at service, the costs and waiting times can be quite painful.

Well, not any more! GASKELL GUITARS is a small Australian guitar manufacturer that makes only left hand guitars. Gaskell guitars are high quality, yet affordable instruments, that can be gigged with as they are or further upgraded or modified and still come in well under the cost of a custom shop order for the same kind of instrument!

Being situated at the “bottom of the world” and to some degree away from the noise of the collapse happening in other continents, we are able to operate intelligently and with focus on producing well-made, high quality left handed guitars that are not available as left hand models by original manufacturers.

You will find left handed guitars that you have not seen before in left hand and probably never thought you would! Some dreams do become reality.

This is an interview with Kevin Gaskell, designer and founder of GASKELL guitars Australia. This is from January 2008.
Name of your company?
Gaskell Guitars
His name?
Kevin Gaskell (I am the designer)
Your location (city, etc)
Alexandria, Sydney. Australia
Please give us a brief summary of your company?
Gaskell Guitars is the only guitar manufacturer in the world that makes only left handed guitars. Based in Australia, Gaskell Guitars is working to provide popular guitar models are not available for left-handed lefty guitarists this world. I started 10 years ago. I got it totally together at the end of 2006.
What inspired you to launch your own website?
To get the message: Guitarists from the left hand does not have to feel left out in the dark, or penalized, or simply be ignored guitarist left hand.
When was the launch of its first website, and what was it?
We've been in business since early 2007, but you can visit the website until mid-2007. There is still work to do, but more important is to achieve high quality guitars in the hands of guitar players left hand often have given up ever finding the guitars we do!
How to decide on a name for your website?
Brand
What makes it different from other similar offers?
We are the only company in the world to offer exclusively left handed guitars despite apparently being a small market. No one else is doing this because nobody really cares about the left handed guitar players unless they have a lot of cash to flash around and have something done in a Custom Shop.
What is your goal?
Corner the market. At the international level. Our brand awareness is increasing. People like our products and are good. I am a lefty guitarist me to talk the talk and walk.
How does your investment of time and money balance against your success?
However, to make a profit! Largely driven by passion, as anything that someone is dedicated a.
If you had an unlimited development budget for development, how things change?
We would like to make faster and more guitars meet lefty guitarists – E. g bears. Demand is outstripping supply at the moment. It costs money to take another step and another step.
If your place of business was very big, very fast, you would be able to keep up with demand?
Already struggling with maintaining demand for products! Left Handed guitarists are very passionate. And they must be! They have been kicked in the teeth for many years. All players know lefties.
What unexpected costs and headaches have had to face?
The first model is always the most expensive. All our guitars had to be redesigned from scratch and are largely hand. (CNC Machine Tools) in factories has been designed to make guitars with the right hand. It was "interesting" to set this tell you. I would never have been so hard to make guitars with his right hand and try to penetrate a saturated market there. It's much much cheaper to make guitars with the right hand.
What has been your biggest challenge?
To make available the guitars at the same time make a profit. We do not do much in our guitars. We could have applied ridiculous prices because nobody else makes our models, but then called the "greed" and that's not where we are. Left Handed guitarists have been betrayed is bad enough. The other thing that the struggle is with shipping. This is beyond our control. The costs to U.S. and Europe, in Australia are pretty ridiculous in the post-9/11 world.
What has been most successful method to promote your site?
Classifieds
How has running your website differed from your expectations?
I am not a website builder or supplier. Every little change or improvement costs money! Good news comes at a price!
How long have you run the site already, and how long it will take to keep it if not enjoy big gains in traffic, income or popularity?
Since 2007, around the middle. We intend to keep it going for as long as the guitarists left our guitars – hopefully forever!
Why do this?
I was born in New Zealand. I've been playing guitar for 25 years. I always wanted to own a Gibson Explorer. In 25 years I never saw one and Gibson has made only while in the 1980s when he had no money to buy one. Many other guitars did not come in his left hand at the time. 25 years later not much had changed. I decided if we will be essentially "high" by the major guitar manufacturers then I will fill this gap. I made my first guitar in 1992 and developed from there. Customers who bought Gaskell guitars are routinely delighted and grateful for these instruments, not only because the price is good, but they are excellent quality guitars has always been and always will be our intention. We do not do "cheap" except in price.
