Steve Force Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Interesting thread! Good luck with your presentation, and always remember, use the same font throughout and minimize your graphics usage!

Scoot Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 (Look out, I'm giving academic advice) Depending on the size required of the presentation, I'd narrow the subject as much as possible. Like the wise dcr alluded to, keep it on electric bass guitar instead of bass, and even narrow it further to "advances in bass guitar" or something like that. This will allow more you to get more details in the presentation, and teachers equate details with effort. The advent of roundwound strings, active pickups, neck-thru, string-thru-body, use of exotic woods . . . etc are all advances I'd cover. Ah, nice marmot.

getz out Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 I really enjoyed DCR's suggestion. Very structured. Looks like you can't go wrong with that. Keep things concise. Make sure you share the slideshow when you're done. Let us know if you need someone to host it on the web for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremy c Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 It's perfectly possible to put a powerpoint presentation online, but it takes a reasonable amount of webspace to do it. I think someone volunteered the space earlier in this thread. Free download of my cd!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did anyone feel the need to invent it, and who did? >* Is it a kind of guitar, or a kind of bass? >* What's the basic "layout" of the instrument? What are the basic parts? How do you get sound out of it? * What's the right way to hold it? * How is its history related to that of electric amplification? >* How has the ability to amplify the bass changed the way people make music? >* What are some of the major technical innovations in bass-making? * What artists have contributed to it musically, and how? Are there any bass virtuosos? Anyone the average person might have heard of? >* What different playing techniques have people come up with, and what's their purpose? >* What sorts of roles do basses play in musical combos? Is there any music that specifically features the bass? * What does sheet music for the bass look like? Chord charts? What's the difference? How much is read, and how much is improvised? * Is it very difficult to learn? Do you need any special physical characterstics or skills? * Why frets? Why fretless? Why one number of strings or another? i personally don't know only one of those...how is bass sound produced as compared to guitar and high piched sounds?? i've searched the web, and can find nothing the questions with ">" next to them are ones that i will include, since all of them would make it too long. -BGO 5 words you should live by...

tarkus Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 A good university library will bring you to more reliable sources than "the web". Physics and audio-acoustics would be good areas to investigate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
