Rosuvastatin is an effective medicine for the treatment of many problems. This medicine is related with the class of medication called the hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors, it is also known as statins. It is used to modify levels of lipids (fats) in the blood. Rosuvastatin medication is also used to reduce high and unsafe levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in the blood. It is also useful in reducing high levels of other blood lipids like triglycerides or to enhance levels of a type of cholesterol that protects against heart disease and stroke (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, or HDL-C). This medicine also decreases the likelihood of cardiovascular disease events like heart attacks and stroke and prolonged life. The generic name of this medicine is Crestor Generic. Rosuvastatin effectively works by blocking the enzyme that helps to make cholesterol in the body. People with high blood cholesterol levels have a high threat of heart diseases like heart attacks.

July 2017: Snow avalanches in Switzerland – Karolina Korzeniowska's App awarded 3rd place in an international contest
Karolina Korzeniowskas's App about snow avalanches in Switzerland awarded 3rd place in an international contest organized by ESRI company. The results of this competition are available here http://www.esri.com/landing-pages/story-maps/contest-winners-2017, (please scroll down to "Science, Technology, and Education" category to see her App). Congratulations to Karolina!
March 2017: Snow avalanches in Switzerland
In a cooperation with WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF, Davos, Switzerland we have developed a new automatic object-based image analysis (OBIA) algorithm to detecting snow avalanches for a large region from ADS80 NIR aerial images. Our method shows potential in large-scale avalanche mapping, although further investigations into other regions are desirable to verify the stability of our selected thresholds and the transferability of the method. We also present a probability approach which determines, in an automatic way, the highest and the lowest parts of the avalanche, and thus its release zone, track, and runout zone, allowing easy analysis of the topographic condition of areas where the avalanche starts and where the snow is deposited.
Details of our method are available under the following link:
January 2017: Videos "Science Communication" online!
After attending the Communication course in November 2016, our ESRs are now finalized their video projects. The aim of the projects is to communicate Earth science topics to a broader audience.

November 2016: Workshop "Science Communication"
Videos used in science communication
A 2-day workshop at the University of Potsdam focused on training of communication skills of the ALErT young research fellows (ESR). A professional team of a filmmaker and a cameraman introduced the group to filmmaking aspects and the possibilities of communicating research results to the public. The workshop trained the ability of the participants to engage in a two-way-conversation. The ESR learned how to use audiovisual media not only as an outreach tool but also as a method: In addition to exercises that helped to improve rhetorical skills, presentation and storytelling techniques, the group focused on skills usually "overlooked": critical reflexivity on methods and disciplinary paradigms, active listening, empathy, and creativity. In these domains, audiovisual media offers a unique opportunity for geoscientists to critically reflect and "re-present" their work in an engaging and stimulating manner and to foster more interaction with their potential audiences.
June 2016: Detecting changes
Our ALErT student Karolina Korzeniowska developed a new algorithm for the detection of lake boundaries using remote-sensing technologies which can be applied to counting lake-size variations. Although, the method was not jet applied to Turkish landscapes, the new technique provides interesting opportunities for detecting areas affected by natural hazards and climate change – also in Turkey. We are looking forward to apply the tools to the ALErT study area.
Here is a link to Karolina's method:

As threatened, we have a new podcast up on our podbean page. Although the timing may not be perfect, we do love talking about some scary movies. As regulars to this blog would know I do love all manner of scary things, posting repeatedly about horror role playing games. There's a whole bunch of love given the legend that is Bruce Campbell in this episode, along with talking in some detail about the various incarnations of the Halloween movies.
A word of warning though, this – like all of our podcasts – is very much not safe for work. We use bad language is what I'm saying, not that we get naked.
We also put out a call for guests with interesting things to talk about who might want to talk about them with us. Just give any of the episodes a listen before you volunteer though; we have very adult senses of humour. And if you're looking for all the links to things we discuss, you should join in our Facebook page as we pop them up between episodes to keep people entertained.

Helpful, Easy Tips for
the Home Italian Cook
Experience the joy of authentic Italian cooking… faster and easier.
General Tips
- Don't chop basil with a knife. Use your fingers to tear the basil and you will avoid turning the leaves to mush.
- Fresh basil can be stored by layering in a jar with olive oil.
- To remove the odor of garlic (or onion) from a wooden cutting board or spoon, rub the surface with lemon juice.
- A jar of salted anchovies will keep almost indefinitely as long as they are covered by liquid and are always taken out with a clean spoon or fork. Canned anchovies last a long time if covered in oil.
- Nutmeg is a pungent spice that should be used with discretion, grated straight onto the dish in which it is required. It can be used in both sweet and savory dishes, especially in ravioli and tortellini fillings and often flavors hot punches and other warming drinks.
- When storing Parmesan cheese, wrap it in cheesecloth that has been moistened with water. Wrap foil around the cloth and refrigerate the cheese overnight. The next day, remove the foil, discard the cheesecloth, pat the moist surface of the cheese dry with a clean towel, rewrap it in foil and return the cheese to the refrigerator.
- If you own a hand-operated pasta machine, you can buy a little motor that replaces the crank, converting your machine into an electrically driven one.
- When purchasing a food mill, consider buying the medium or large size, and, although stainless steel is more expensive, it is worth having, as it will never warp.
- To achieve the best results, wash a new rolling pin with soap and water, dry it well, give it a light coat of olive oil, wipe it down with a kitchen towel to absorb excess oil, and rub a little all-purpose flour over the pin. Do this several times before using.
- When cooking pasta, add salt to the water instead of oil. Adding oil to the water will make the pasta slippery, which means sauce will not cling to it as it is intended to. Adding a generous amount of salt to the water will season the pasta properly while cooking it.
- Buy pre-washed salads in a bag to save time while cooking.
- Pre-chop vegetables for the week and keep prepared salad in a vacuum-sealed plastic container for storage.
- Use a food processor to chop vegetables.
- Keep frozen vegetables in your freezer – they are already prepared and easy to cook with.
- Purchase boneless cuts of meat and thinly sliced meats – they cook much quicker.
- Buy cooked rotisserie chicken, and use it to make soups and stocks.
Soups and Sauces
- Cook and freeze sauces and stocks for quick use later. Most soups freeze very well. To save yourself time later, make several different types of soups and freeze them in small containers for quick lunches or dinners.
- Marinara, bolognaise and puttanesca sauces also freeze very well. Make ahead of time and keep them in the freezer for quick weeknight pasta dinners.
- Make your own stocks for soups and sauces and store in the freezer. Pour your homemade stock into ice cube trays and freeze. Use the stock cubes to make quick pan sauces when sautéing meat.
- Keep your pantry stocked with essentials for tossing together a quick pasta dinner (see La Cucina section).
- Make enough pasta dishes or casseroles for two dishes and freeze one for a quick dinner later in the week.
Authentic Italian Meal Structure
Here is a handy guide to help you serve an authentic Italian meal to your guests. Meals in Italy usually contain more than three courses. One notable aspect of an Italian meal is that the primo, or first course, is usually the more filling dish and will consist of either risotto or pasta. Modern Italian cuisine also includes single courses (all-in-one courses).
- Aperitivo - Apéritif usually enjoyed as an appetizer before a large meal (Campari, Cinzano, Prosecco, Aperol, Spritz and Vermouth)
- Antipasto - Literally "before meal"; hot or cold appetizers
- Primo - "First course"; usually consists of a hot dish like pasta, risotto, gnocchi, polenta or soup
- Secondo - "Second course"; the main dish, usually fish or meat
- Contorno - "Side dish"; may consist of a salad or cooked vegetables. A traditional menu features salad along with the main course.
- Formaggio e frutta - "Cheese and fruits"; the first dessert. Local cheeses may also be part of the Antipasto or Contorno as well.
- Dolce - "Dessert"; traditionally cakes and cookies.
- Caffè - "Coffee"
- Digestivo - "Digestives"; liquors/liqueurs (grappa, amaro, limoncello, sambuca, nocino)
- Use a small dish for the Antipasto, a pasta bowl for the Primo Piatto, and a dinner plate for the Secondo Piatto, and you may serve the side vegetables or the salad in the same plate, next to the meat or fish.
- Make your table and food look Italian using color: use a white tablecloth, add red or green china, alternate the colors for napkins, etc. Play some Italian music during the dinner.
- Don't bring all of the food to the table at once. Tell your guests they will be served several courses and dishes, so they can appreciate the small portions and enjoy each part of the meal. Change type of wine as needed with each course, according to the main ingredient used.

Saimdang: Light's Diary's director is aiming for Descendants of the Sun popularity
Director Yoon Sang Ho is hoping the DOTS magic will rub off on his new series!
On January 26, Saimdang: Light's Diary (Herstory) intends to make viewers spellbound by Seo Ji Yoon's (actress Lee Young Ae) journey through time. This will be Lee's first K-drama in over ten years, and the director has a very positive outlook on his pre-produced TV series. He recently told the media his thoughts about pre-produced K-dramas like Descendants of the Sun and Herstory.
"Many people had doubts about Descendants of the Sun before it became a big hit. Personally, I think it's really well-made, and I'm envious of the drama for being a positive precedent for pre-produced dramas," Yoon Sang Ho carefully explained.
"It's good news for us though. I'd like our drama to do as well as Descendants of the Sun did, and hopefully pre-produced dramas will not disappear from the Korean drama industry. But it's hard to say how our drama will do compared to 'Descendants of the Sun.'"
Saimdang: Light's Diary (Herstory) is about a Korean art history professor who is captivated by Shin Saimdang's diary and a puzzling painting of a woman. The professor is determined to uncover the secrets from the ancient woman's fascinating life.
Now I'm going to take a wild guess and say Seo Ji Yoon is the reincarnated version of the legendary Shin Saimdang, and that is why she is so taken with her story. It's like learning about a whole new side to herself! I'm curious about Saimdang: Light's Diary (Herstory) for a couple of reasons. Song Seung Hun has been my celebrity crush since Summer Scent, and the fact that this series could fill the void that Scarlet Heart: Ryeo left in November. I was anxious to see more present day scenes intertwined with the past.
Do you think Saimdang: Light's Diary (Herstory) will rival DOTS popularity? What do you expect from the new show?

Team AISD,
Last night, AISD hosted the annual retirement dinner. We gathered to celebrate teachers, principals, librarians, counselors, clerical staff and other employees who have helped shape the future for our students. Excitement, anticipation and a bit of sadness were in the air as these dedicated employees said goodbye to their coworkers and friends.
Collectively, this year's retirees have dedicated nearly 7,000 hours to AISD. Fifty-four employees will retire with more than 30 years of service. And this year's winner, Zoe Griffith, who retired in January from her position as director of student services, has worked for the district for 51 years!
As educators, we look back and think about all we have done and all the great successes our students have achieved. We see the fruits of our labor as students prepare to move up to the next grade or graduate from high school and move on to the next stage in their lives.
Our AISD retirees, looking back over careers that may span several decades, can be proud of all the lives they have touched and changed during their time with us. They make me AISDProud!
We value our hard-working staff, and we miss them when they leave us. Enjoy your retirement!
Paul Cruz, Ph.D.

In regards to softwood lumber, grades are usually 1 through 4, with 1 being the best. Grade 1 Common softwood is characterized by clear wood with very small, tight knots. Pallets and packaging are typically made using Grades 2 through 4. The lower grades of softwood have larger and more frequent knots.
Knowing your application and consulting with a pallet and packaging professional is the best start in determining the proper grade of lumber.

Creating a Diet for Varicose Veins
Have you started to notice thick, bulging veins in your leg, and want to do something about it through diet? While diet alone will not "cure" varicose veins, you can use diet to (1) reduce your risk for developing additional varicose veins and (2) prevent veins from worsening. Here are four recommendations for creating a diet for varicose veins.
#1 Eat Your Salicylates
If you've never heard of salicylates, you're in good company; these compounds aren't typically seen on your run-of-the-mill nutritional list. Salicylates are nature's Aspirin. They help reduce blood clots. Many herbs and spices are rich in salicylates, including ginger, thyme, curry, and peppermint. Some fruits, such as strawberries, are also high in salicylates. (Keep in mind, blood clotting is a necessary function anytime the body is cut or bruised. Talk to your doctor about whether or not reducing your body's ability to clot blood is a good idea for you.)
#2 Load Up on Fiber
A diet that's low in fiber may cause constipation, which can lead to hemorrhoids and varicose veins. If you find yourself straining in bowel movements, be sure to increase your fiber intake. Whole grains, cereals, pastas, and fruits are all good foods for increasing fiber intake.
#3 Rutin (Anti-Clotting Abilities)
If you're creating a diet for varicose veins, be sure to talk to your doctor about rutin. According to Harvard Magazine, "Harvard researchers have found that rutin, a substance contained in [apples] (as well as in onions, buckwheat, and tea), has potent anticlotting powers that could help prevent heart attack and stroke." Rutin could also strengthen veins and capillaries, thereby reducing risk for varicose veins.
#4 Strengthen Veins With Vitamin C
Vitamin C is essential for creating elastin and collagen – two proteins that serve as the building blocks of connective tissues. Vitamin C helps maintain vascular strength. Increasing your vitamin C intake may help reduce risk for varicose veins. Be sure to also increase your vitamin E intake along with vitamin C, as these two vitamins complement each other in many ways.
For more information, talk to your doctor. Or, schedule an appointment at Valley Vein Center to get treatment for your varicose veins.
Please consult with your physician before undertaking any form of medical treatment or adopting any exercise program or dietary guidelines.

I've been itching to do a small, simple gallery wall above my bed, maybe with three or four tonal but slightly mismatched frames and prints. This gal does it to a much larger extent: http://pinterest.com/pin/121034308708209168/ but I like the idea.ReplyDelete
I'm not a neutral person either but for some reason I'm partial to the sunburst? The painting does go really well with the tan stripes though! hmm hmm hmmReplyDelete
Wowza - SO cute!!!ReplyDelete
I like some color over the bed and I love your flea market find. Its a great size to add more pieces with it down the road if you wanted to. And those shams kill me btw. :)ReplyDelete
the monogrammed shams look absolutely amazing. I want to toss my smaller monogrammed pillows and get the big guns like yours on their asap!ReplyDelete
I'm not a neutral kind of gal like I used to be. My vote is the flea market find, for sure!ReplyDelete
I vote color above the bed! The contrast will make everything else come alive!ReplyDelete

I'm a big Olbermann fan. He hits another home run, this time on Habeas Corpus and the Military Commissions Act, full of all kinds of snark.
Interestingly, despite the urgent rush to get this through Congress to "protect Americans", two weeks later and it still hasn't been signed into law.

It was outstanding. Last night, after I watched it, I tried to do a "Bush killed Habeas Corpus" design, but somehow the planets were aligned against my finishing it and getting it uploaded. Finally did it today, though. You can see it here.

Yamaha BB Series 4-String Bass. Tobacco Sunburst
The Yamaha BB Series bass comes in the 424X, 1024X and the 2024X versions. Yamaha's new BB series bass guitars boast all the well-loved characteristics of the original BBs launched more than 30 years ago, from the big body design and vintage-style hardware to the bolt-on neck and split-coil pickups.
The BB424X has four strings and features a bolt-on 5-piece maple/nato neck, ceramic pickups, alder spline-joint body and an appealing tobacco sunburst finish. The legendary BB design, passive P/J pickup configuration and overall simplicity of the bass makes it a great choice for purists and those looking for a straightforward bass without the frills. It comes completely set up, with just a few minor adjustments needed to suit individual tastes.
The Yamaha 424X is one great bass for its price range–it can easily compete with more expensive bass guitars from other companies. It's great for all uses, from practicing and jamming with friends to playing in small venues and recording your own tracks.

- Smooth feel and great playability
- Lows have a piano-like quality
- A bit on the heavy side
Fender Steve Harris Precision Bass
Steve Harris of Iron Maiden has garnered a massive fan base for his gallop and now he's inspired so many to take up the bass as well. His signature Precision Bass is now available for those who want to be as fleet-fingered as him. Like Harris' own Precision Bass, this Fender sports the crest of UK football club West Ham United, of which Harris has been a staunch supporter. He was actually asked to train for the team during his younger years before he realized that being a pro footballer wasn't really what he wanted to do.
Now more about the bass: special pinstriping on the gloss white finish make this instantly recognizable as a Steve Harris. You also have his signature at the back of the headstock.
Does it also have the same bass tone as Harris' own axe? You bet, thanks to the Seymour Duncan SPB-4 (split coil) pickup that Seymour Duncan made. The pickups are also directly inspired by Harris' unique bass tone.
Clarity in tonal transfer plus max resonation are provided by Fender's own High Mass bridge. The modern C-shape neck profile makes the bass comfortable to play, especially for beginners. A deluxe Fender gig bag is included with the guitar so you can be on your way to become the next (or possibly even better) Steve Harris on tour.
- Responsive pickup
- Design and construction are top quality - expect no less from a Fender
- Great sustain
- May be too heavy for young players

It comes equipped with two Schecter bass humbucker pickups with active EQ circuit, allowing players maximum control over the sound output. For just under $500, you get a top bass that's got you covered whatever music style you play. Its strengths make it ideal for warm contemporary R&B tones, slap-bass tones and even jazz solos.
The Stiletto Extreme-4 has a low action and a narrow neck, making it comfortable to play for new players. It not only feels and plays great, it looks great as well with its unique body shape and stunning finish. This is a beautiful bass more than worth its price.

- Playable out of the box--any minor adjustments necessary can be done using the included wrenches
- Diverse with a wide range of tones

Squier by Fender Vintage Modified Jazz Bass V
Squier's Vintage Modified Jazz Bass V is a If you're looking for a solid, top-quality 5-string bass that won't break the bank, Squier's Vintage Modified Jazz Bass V might be right up your alley. This Squier delivers that classic Fender Jazz Bass Tone without the cost usually associated with a Fender. With two Fender-designed single-coil Jazz Bass pickups, it's easy to see why Squier bass guitars have the same sound quality as the more expensive Fenders.
Construction-wise, this bass has a soft maple body with a natural gloss body finish and a "C" shape one-piece hard maple neck with a vintage-tint gloss and maple fingerboard. Black binding, block inlays, a three-ply pickguard and chrome hardware and tuners round off the design.
- Overall quality exceeds that of other bass guitars in this price range
- Good playability out of the box
- Comparable to a Fender Jazz Bass in sound quality
- Some minor manufacturing defects reported
Best bass guitars for under $300
Yamaha TRBX204 GLB 4-String Bass Guitar

Aside from the standard Yamaha cutaway shape, this basswood-bodied bass guitar has a bolt-on maple neck with a satin finish, rosewood fretboard with 24 medium frets, split single-coil pickups and controls for master volume, pickup balancer and EQ (treble and bass).
The precision-fitted bolt-on neck joint allows for maximum adjustability as well as a clear, punchy tone. The neck joint shape efficiently balances vibration transfer, strength and also upper-fret access. The TRBX's high-mass diecast bridge perfectly transfers string vibrations to the guitar's body for a rich and full tone.
- Good weight distribution
- Controls allow for a more aggressive tone
- Versatile for different playing styles
- Initial setup may need to be modified according to individual preference
Ibanez GSR205BWNF 5-String Electric Bass
Another 5-string bass on our list is this offering from Ibanez. The GSR205BWNF features a mahogany body, GSR5 maple neck, rosewood fretboard with a white dot inlay, medium frets and a B15 bridge for impressive sustain. This model is part of the GIO series, developed for musicians who want the quality of an Ibanez guitar in a wallet-friendly package.
This bass guitar has two passive Dynamix H pickups (bridge and neck) and a Phat II equalizer with active bass boost for a fat, punchy tone. The contoured body and slim neck profile allows for extreme playing comfort and speed. If you're not up to shelling out up to $500 and are adamant about purchasing a bass that's "too inexpensive to be good," then this Ibanez will definitely suit you well–very, very well.
- Amazing playability out of the box
- Lightweight and easy to hold
- Great bass for the price
- Needs a better set of strings
Best bass guitars for under $200
Squier by Fender Vintage SS Modified Special Jaguar Bass
Aspiring musicians should really thank Squier for giving them Fender-quality instruments at an accessible price, like this short-scale Vintage Modified Jaguar Bass Special. This bass guitar is more than a just a beginner's model, however. With its retro looks, ultra-slim neck and powerful Fender electronics, this is an instrument any bassist–cash-strapped or otherwise–would be only too happy to have.
Vintage SS Modified Special Jaguar bass guitar sports a short-scale maple neck and rosewood fretboard that allows for fast and smooth action. Together with the sleek body profile, this is one comfortable bass to play. It's usually hard to balance comfort with sound quality, but Squier nails it with the Vintage SS Modified Special Jaguar's single-coil Precision Bass pickup at the bridge and Jazz Bass pickups at the neck. These alone make this a great-value bass for the price. The brand may say Squier, but we say at its core it's a true Fender.
- The shorter scale and slim neck make it easier to play - great for smaller hands
- Set up well out of the box
- High-quality tuners that stay in tune
- Some quality control issues reported
- Stock strings in need of replacement
Ibanez GSRM20 Mikro 3/4 Size Electric Bass Guitar – 4 Strings
If you want to go shorter and smaller, or if you're looking for a quality string instrument for a young player (or an arthritic one!), Ibanez has the bass for you. The Ibanez GSRM20 Mikro electric bass has a 28.6" scale, making it a good choice for the young ones and young-once rockers on the go.
Other specs include a GSRM4 maple neck, mahogany body, rosewood fretboard with pearl dot inlay, medium frets, B10 bridge, chrome-plated hardware and passive Dynamix P/J pickups at the neck and bridge. The specs may not be the absolute best from Ibanez but when you consider the price, those are certainly more than decent. Sound-wise, the Mikro has a pretty good tone you wouldn't expect from a bass guitar that costs less than $200. Definitely not a toy guitar but seriously something you'll enjoy playing wherever you go.
- Compact size, perfect for small bodies and touring
- Nice fit and finish
- Good, low string action - easy on the fingers
- Case is sold separately
- Weak pickups
- Stock strings aren't that great
Best bass guitars for under $100
Crescent Electric Bass Guitar Starter Kit
People start getting nervous when it comes to buying guitar kits that cost less than $100. It's understandable–at that price point, how can any guitar package be of quality? Well, Crescent proves it possible with its electric bass guitar starter kit. This package includes a gig bag, a couple of picks, extra strings, an amp cable, a shoulder strap and Allen wrenches for making adjustments. Crescent even includes a digital e-tuner as a limited-time offer.
The star of the show is a premium 46-inch bass that's well-suited for beginners and even advanced players looking for a practice or backup bass. The bass has a split P-B pickup as well as volume and tone regulators. The bass is lightweight and easy to handle, making it a good option for young or small-statured players looking for an instrument to learn on or customize.
- Great starter bass
- Good for fingerpicking and playing with picks
- Lightweight
- Initial setup is necessary to make it comfortable to play and remove fret buzz
Full Size 4 String Precision P Electric Bass Guitar
Another affordable bass guitar package is the Huntington Outlaw P-Bass. If you're looking for a full-size but lightweight electric bass guitar that won't burn a hole through your pockets, this bass is worth considering. This P-Bass features low-ratio chrome alloy flanged tuners, a maple neck, rosewood fretboard with dot inlay, Channel 8 P-style pickups and a Delron resin molded nut. The kit includes a gig bag, a strap and extra strings.
The bass guitar boasts a contoured ultra-light hardwood body that has undergone a 7-step finish processing. The volume control, tone control, tailpiece and saddles are all chrome alloy. If you've always wanted to try a bass guitar but don't want to spend a ton of money lest you end up realizing it's not for you (we hope you like playing bass as much as we do though!), this is a good buy. It's pretty basic and generic-looking, but nonetheless a decent, can-do bass guitar overall.
- Affordable guitar package
- Simple and straightforward
- Comfortable neck
- Professional setup necessary to improve playability
Best value-for-money bass guitars
Dean E09M Edge Mahogany Electric Bass Guitar
It's often hard to balance quality and price–often you get a top-quality guitar but its price may be hard to reach for many interested players. Not so with the Dean E09M Edge electric bass guitar with its low price point of less than $150. This guitar has a basswood body topped with a naturally finished mahogany, a 34-inch bolt-on maple neck and a rosewood fretboard with abalone dot inlays. It's equipped with a Dean passive soapbar pickup with controls for volume and treble as well as a Dean vintage-style bridge that allows for tone adjustments.
This bass guitar is part of Dean's Edge Series, designed with playing comfort in mind. It's lighter than most bass guitars thanks to the basswood construction, and the maple necks have been profiled to be sleeker. A deep cutaway and Dan's custom joint/heel design allow for easy access to the high frets. Dean's diecast tuners make sure any tone adjustments stay put.
- Simple, lightweight bass for beginners
- Plays like a more expensive bass guitar
- Decent, good-sounding guitar for the price
- Action, string and tone adjustments recommended before playing
Ibanez GSR200 Electric Bass Guitar
We've recommended the Ibanez GSR200 as a great bass guitar for beginners–here's another reason why it's a good buy not just for beginners. For less than $200, you get a simple yet beautiful top-quality bass from a trusted brand. It's inexpensive but reliable–a good ally for any bassist looking for a solid, straightforward instrument to practice on.
The tonewood used for the GSR200's body is agathis, while the one-piece neck is made of maple and topped with a rosewood fretboard. This great-value bass also has a standard fixed bridge with adjustable roller saddles, die-cast tuners and a standard synthetic nut. What makes this bass truly special is in the electronics department: instead of passive pickups, this one as an active set of electronics. Split-coil at the neck, single coil at the bridge.
The GSR200 is part of the brand's Soundgear series but it has a smaller body and a thinner neck than the other Soundgear models. Though smaller, it maintains a full-scale length. This entry-level bass is also lightweight, making it perfect for young or petite players, or simply those who don't want to do any heavy lifting. All in all, it's definitely a great bass for beginners, seasoned players and everyone in between.
- Holds tune well
- Great craftsmanship at low cost
- Lightweight and easy to play
- Electronics can be improved
- String replacement recommended
Best Travel Bass Guitar
Shredneck Z-Series Travel Bass
The Shredneck Z-Series Travel Bass has a 5/8 augmented scale length, complete with 24 frets and everything you need to play anytime, anywhere. This bass guitar features a two-piece nato body, rosewood fretboard with dot inlays, a maple neck with natural finish, chrome hardware, P/J pickup configuration and controls for the volume and tone. It also includes a gig bag so you can literally get up and running in no time.

Bass Guitar Consumer Info
Bass players are often overshadowed by lead guitarists in a band but they actually have the most crucial role in a performance. Every band member depends on the bass player's lead; bassists are responsible for making the link between a song's harmony (the chords) and its rhythm (the groove).
Linking the harmony with a song's distinctive rhythm impacts the style or feel of the music–in a way, the bassist is the one who determines the genre of the song being played, whether it's jazz, rock, soul or some other style.
Bass players in no way play second fiddle to the guitarist as they have their own distinct role: to keep time, keep the pulse going or establish steady rhythm by locking in with the drummer. Together with the drummer, bassists provide the backbone that holds up the entire ensemble.
As Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers puts it, "As a bass player, you're laying the foundation, you're making the bed, you are giving the ground for everyone else to dance upon and you have to make it solid… Your rhythm has to be good, and you have to be listening and paying attention to what everyone else is doing and doing the best job that you can to create the atmosphere for everyone else to be beautiful."
Learning to play bass is definitely a plus for those who already play the guitar. Even for those who have not tried playing any musical instrument, a bass guitar is a good first instrument to pick up, especially if you like rich, low and deep tones and feeling the rhythm of the music. Here's all you need to know about this instrument to get you started!
How to choose the right bass guitar for you
As with other musical instruments, a bass guitar is an investment. If you're serious about learning to play, it's important to get a good, comfortable one from the get-go as this will help you learn to play properly and motivate you to keep practicing. A bass guitar that won't stay in tune, is too heavy or is too cumbersome for you just won't cut it, so it's recommended to try as many bass guitars as you can before buying one.
Is price a factor? Definitely, though you can buy a good bass guitar even on a limited budget. The rule of thumb here is to buy the best bass guitar you can afford. Starting with a well-performing instrument will make learning to play easier, plus you won't outgrow or need to upgrade as quickly.
For beginners, it's ideal to choose a 4-string bass for the sake of simplicity, and choose one that has frets and simple controls. This way, you can learn chords easily and focus on the strings instead of being distracted by knobs.
A bass guitar that comes in a color and shape that you like is a good choice because it will also help motivate you to play. When you buy a guitar that appeals to you aesthetically, you'll want to always have it in your hands or at least within easy reach for practice sessions.
For young players, petite players or adults with small hands, a short-scale bass is also an option.
When you have the chance, go to a music store and check out all the available bass guitars so you can get better acquainted with how they look and feel in person. The neck profile should be nice and comfortable in your hand and it shouldn't give you muscle strain with its weight. The string action should be low enough for playability–then again, this can always be adjusted according to your preference.
All in all, choosing the bass guitar that's right for you would depend on your budget (don't forget you still have accessories like cables and an amp to purchase), skill level (fretted for beginners), aesthetic taste and playing comfort. Shop around, watch demos and try them out yourself before buying bass guitars online or elsewhere. The extra work you put in will be worth it once you have your perfect bass baby set up and ready to play.
What materials are used to make bass guitars?
Bass guitars are built similarly with electric guitars. They are made of different materials, with wood being the most predominant. Different types of wood may be used to make a bass guitar's body, fretboard and neck. The most common wood types used for the body of a bass guitar are alder, ash, maple, poplar and mahogany. For the fretboard, the preferred type of wood is rosewood though ebony and maple are also used. The neck is usually made of maple or mahogany.
There are also custom bass guitars that make use of more exotic types of wood such as wenge, bubinga, goncalo alves and ovangkol. For example, bass and guitar company Alembic makes use of cocobolo as material for their instruments' bodies and top layers because of the wood's attractive grain. Warwick, another bass guitar brand, also uses exotic hardwoods in their guitars: ovangkol for the necks, wenge or ebony for the fretboards and bubinga for the bodies.
And as with electric guitars, graphite composites are also used to create lightweight necks and bodies for bass guitars.
What is a good size and shape for a bass guitar?
Bass guitars come in two major sizes and a various shapes. There's the long-scale bass and the short-scale bass. A long-scale bass has a scale length (the distance from the saddle to the nut) of 34-35 inches, with strings having a 36.5- to 37.5- inch winding length. Long-scale basses with a 34-inch scale length have become the standard.
A short-scale bass has a string length of less than 31 inches and therefore has a different tonal character. A shorter string length means less volume for the higher harmonics, resulting in a darker, thicker tone.
A good size for a bass guitar depends not only on the sound you want to create but also comfort and playability. With a shorter neck, short-scale bass guitars are more comfortable for young players or anyone that has difficulty reaching the other end of a long-scale instrument.
In addition, short-scale bass guitars require a lower string tension to be tuned properly. With a looser tension, the strings also have a softer, more loose feel, making short-scale bass guitars easier to play.
As for the shape, it doesn't really matter in terms of sound quality. The shape of a bass guitar does contribute to how you are perceived as a player–if you have a sunburst Fender Precision bass, you'll be seen as a jazz, blues or R&B player; change the color to a bright turquoise or pink and you might be considered a funkateer. Choose a V-shaped or pointy bass and your audience will think you're out to rock it hard. It's really all about cultural trends and personal aesthetic preference.
A good size for a bass guitar therefore is one that lets you play comfortably and produce the sound that you want, and a good shape is one that appeals to you. After all, there's no rule stating that you can't play a powder blue guitar in a death metal band.
Which bass guitar brands are most respected?
When it comes to bass guitars, the following brands have earned a reputation for producing reliable, quality instruments any player would be proud to have.
Fender – the Jazz and Precision Bass guitars have set the bar when it comes to bass guitars. Famous Fender bass players include James Jamerson of the Funk Brothers, Flea of Red Hot Chili Peppers and Mark Hoppus of Blink-182.
Squier – this Fender-owned brand offers low-cost versions of Fender instruments. The high-quality, budget-friendly Squier Affinity Series are a smart option for beginners, while the Classic Vibe and Vintage Modified series are geared toward veteran bassists.
Ibanez – the brand's BTB and Soundgear lines are loved by many bassists around the world, especially those into metal and hard rock. The GSR200 is often recommended as a starter bass guitar for beginners. Famous players include Korn's Fieldy Arvizu, The Offspring's Kevin John Wasserman (aka Noodles) and Slipknot's Paul Dedrick Gray.
Rickenbacker – though not as well-known as Fender, Rickenbacker is also a well-respected brand that has shaped the sound of rock music. Some of the popular bass players who have used Rickenbackers are Lemmy Kilmister, John Entwistle, Geddy Lee and Paul McCartney. The 4000 Series bass guitars are considered classics.
Washburn – this brand has been around for more than a century. The company mostly makes mid- to high-end, top-quality bass guitars. The Washburn Taurus series has the T12 as the basic model going up to the T24 (4-string bass) and the T25 (5-string bass).
Schecter – one of the top brands for metal and hard rock bassists. Schecter guitars are often well-appointed instruments equipped with features you would expect in guitars that cost a lot more. The Stiletto series are often recommended for beginners on a budget.
Gibson – Gibson's bass guitars aren't as popular as its electric guitars, but that doesn't mean they don't have the same wow factor. One of the top-selling Gibson basses is the Thunderbird, which is modeled after the company's Firebird guitar, and which Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue played for years. There's also a Les Paul bass, which has the same maple cap and mahogany body as the Les Paul electric guitar. Nirvana's Krist Novoselic, Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon and Kings of Leon's Jared Followill have all been seen playing a Gibson bass.
Peavey – this brand is known for making affordable bass guitars and coming up with starter packs that are perfect for newbies. The Milestone, Grind, PDX and Millennium series are worth checking out.
Lakland – a relative newcomer compared with other brands that have been around for decades, Lakland has quickly gained a reputation for producing bass guitars with exceptional sound and quality.
Music Man – Music Man's bass guitars stand out because of their use of big humbucking pickups instead of the usual single-coil pickups, resulting in a beefier tone and a more efficient way to cancel unwanted noise. The StingRay is the brand's flagship model. Other models include the Sterling, Bongo and Sabre.
Spector – guitarists might say "What?" when they hear Spector, but bassists would simply nod in respect. Spector bass guitars are favored for their beautiful finishes and deep, warm tone. The Spector NS is the classic model.
Warwick – a Germany-based bass maker, Warwick is known for its high-end Thumb, Streamer and Corvette bass guitars. The brand also has a Rockbass line for budget-constrained bassists. Some of the most popular Warwick bass players are Bootsy Collins of Fatboy Slim, Adam Clayton of U2 and Stuart Zender of Jamiroquai.
Yamaha – this brand has a wide range of instruments, from pianos and drums to electric guitars and basses. Often considered a beginner- and budget-friendly model is the RBX170; on the higher end are the TRBX bass guitars that can go headstock-to-headstock with the best guitars from other brands. Tony Kanal of No Doubt, Nathan East of Toto and John Ro Myung of Dream Theater have all played a Yamaha bass guitar.
Which bass guitar is best for beginners?
There are actually plenty of bass guitars that are suitable for beginners. Three of the best that are worth considering are the Yamaha RBX170, Ibanez GSR200 bass and Fender Precision Bass. The RBX170 from Yamaha has surprisingly good hardware and a great tone with a P/J pickup layout, at a below-$200 price point that's too good to pass up.
The GSR200 from Ibanez is another great option for beginners, though priced a bit higher than Yamaha's entry-level bass. Still, this is a solid bass that gives good value for money, plus the thinner neck is easier on small hands.
Last but certainly not the least is the popular Precision Bass from Fender, the first mass-produced electric bass guitar in the world and still going strong. Also known as the P-Bass, this guitar has a focused low-frequency response that makes it many bassists' go-to instrument for rock, pop, blues, jazz, reggae and other music styles. The budget-friendly alternative is Squier's Classic Vibe '50s Precision Bass that produces the classic P-Bass tone without the P-bass price.
What is the best fretboard material for a bass guitar?
Bass guitar fretboards may be made from rosewood, maple or ebony. Some argue that the tonewood used on a fretboard doesn't really play a significant role in defining the bass guitar's overall tone, but instead is a factor when it comes to the playing feel and to some extent the instrument's aesthetics.
When you look at the fretboard material this way–considering that the way an instrument feels in your hand and appeals to you affects how you physically interact with it–the type of wood used does contribute to the final tone that you make.
The preferred and most common fretboard material is rosewood, with pro bass players swearing by its bright and clear tone that has a warmer and darker sound than that produced by a maple or ebony fretboard. Rosewood is a naturally oily wood, which means it doesn't require a finish. Many bassists prefer this natural, slick feel. Both Brazilian and Indian varieties of rosewood produce a warmer and softer tone than maple and ebony, with Indian rosewood generating a warmer tone.
Maple, unlike rosewood, requires a finish that some players find too sticky. Constant use also makes the light-colored maple fretboard take on a dirty appearance, but bassists do like how the material produces a well-defined, bright and crisp sound.
Ebony also produces a clear, crisp sound like maple, but at a brighter degree. Similar to maple in density but to rosewood in terms of natural oiliness, ebony does not require a finish. It's the darkest fretboard material among the three, making it a popular choice among musicians who believe that black will always be the new black.
To determine which fretboard material would suit you, go to a music store and try out different bass guitars with rosewood, maple and ebony fretboards. How the fretboard feels is definitely an important consideration, since a playing surface that feels off or uncomfortable to you will result in you not being able to play your best, if at all, no matter how good your bass guitar sounds.
Where are bass guitars usually made?
Bass guitars, like electric guitars, are usually made in the workshops or instrument-making facilities where the company, luthier or custom shop is based. Some U.S.-based brands also have their bass guitars manufactured and assembled in countries such as Mexico, China and Indonesia. There are also companies that source the parts from other countries then have the guitar assembled in their home facilities.
Fender is one example of a company that manufactures some of its products outside the United States: it makes its budget-friendly Standard P-bass and Jazz bass guitars in Mexico. Gibson is another company that has facilities offshore (China).
How many strings should I have on my bass guitar?
Traditional bass guitars have four metal strings tuned to EADG. You can also find bass guitars with five to twelve strings, with the 8- and 12- string models having pairs of strings meant to be played together, usually in a more classical context. The most common bass guitars have frets, while some do not, which allows for a greater subtlety of sound.
For beginners, a 4-string bass guitar is suitable for most music styles. The neck is also smaller than those on more-stringed basses, making 4-string guitars easier and more comfortable to learn with. If you need a lower pitch, it's possible to tune a 4-string bass to get the desired effect.
However, if you want to reach lower notes without having to detune your instrument, you can opt for a 5-string bass, which has a lower B string that gives the instrument a deeper range. Bass guitars with five strings are popular with jazz, fusion, metal and hard rock musicians.
A 6-string bass, which has a high C string and a low B string, would probably be too much for learning on, but if you want the challenge, then by all means get one with six strings especially if you're looking forward to a lot of soloing.
What's the difference between passive and active pickups?
Active pickups on a bass guitar need a power source (usually a 9-volt battery) in order to work while passive pickups do not. An active pickup The difference doesn't end there however, because each pickup type has its own sound and advantages over the other.
Bass guitars that have active pickups use a battery to power an onboard pre-amplifier (preamp). The preamp enables players to cut and boost frequencies, allowing bassists to have more control over the tonal output. The amount or extent of control a bass player has depends on the preamps features–some preamps just have controls for bass and treble, while others are equipped with mid-range controls. This is why in some cases, the preamp can also serve as an equalizer.
Since active pickups are battery-powered, if the battery dies, most active pickup systems will fail to work. It's necessary to carry spare batteries especially if going on gigs. When not in use, active basses need to be unplugged to avoid battery drain.
Compared with passive pickups, active pickups have a louder output, pick up less interference and external noise and there is less signal loss to the amplifier. Active pickups also make use of smaller magnets than passive pickups. Active electronics is a popular choice for bassists who want a brighter and snappier tone and a broader tonal range as well as those who have a slap-and-pop playing style.
Passive pickups are straightforward and do not give a bass player much control over the tonal output, but they are considered to have more dynamics than active electronics. On passive pickups, players can only turn down the treble and bass frequencies–this means that how you play can affect how the tone comes through. If you play gently, the tone will be softer.
Many bass players prefer the simplicity of a passive pickup system that doesn't require changing batteries or any sort of power supply to work. Passive pickups also tend to have a warm, full and "punchy" tone.
Some bass guitar models have both active and passive electronics that allow players to switch between the two pickup systems. Fender's American Deluxe Precision Bass and American Deluxe Jazz Bass are some examples.
If you are looking for a good starter bass, either pickup system is fine. It's up to you to decide what you prefer in terms of tone control and output as well as which pickup system best suits your needs.

It's been some time since I last blogged due to family visits and such, but I'm back out and about in the Great Pacific Northwest. The region has been experiencing the longest dry summer on record. Two months without any appreciable rain and pleasant, warm temperatures are welcome to some, but the effects have been devastating on the landscape, especially hitting hard in the eastern parts of Washington and Oregon with all the ongoing wildfires. There have been some days when the prevailing winds wafted the smoke over to the Puget Sound area of western Washington and have made for some dramatic sunsets. Some days, we could not even see Mount Rainier due to the smoke haze. That's pretty bad!
Yesterday, I took advantage of the gorgeous weather and drove once again to the alluring Olympic Peninsula. I had thought of visiting once again the beautiful Lake Crescent in the Olympic National Park, but along the way on Hwy 101 stopped at the town of Sequim (pronounced S-Q-U-I-M) instead to investigate some natural areas that I had not visited before. There is both the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge and the Dungeness Receation Area that I've been wanting to check out for the longest time. It's one of those places that you need to put aside a day to visit to take full advantage of the opportunities they have to offer. Upon viewing the vista from the bluff trails above the Strait of Juan de Fuca, I immediately fell in love with this special area. The blue waters, the sound of the breaking surf below the bluffs, and the magnificent view of the nearby Olympic Mountains did it for me!
View from Dungeness Recreation Area
On this fine, blue sky day, the waters were a very blue color, with the shallow areas near shore being beautiful shades of turquoise.
At the opposite end of the vista, one can espy the beginning of a very long sand spit, one of the longest in the world. It is located in the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge, which is located just beyond the Dungeness Recreation Area, a county park. Stay on the same road as the Dungeness Recreation Area to enter the national wildlife area. There is plenty of parking, along with a small access fee to hike the trail down to the natural sand spit. The hike down to the water level is 0.5 miles each way. The spit is 5 miles long and accessible by foot, with a lighthouse situated at the end. Along the way is protected natural wildlife area that is home for many species of birds. If you are inclined to take on the long hike, make sure you have a copy of the local tide tables. Low tide time makes for an easier hike.
Glimpse of the Dungeness Sand Spit
When I finished perusing the bluff areas of the Dungeness Recreation Area, I took a leisurely drive along the coastline overlooking the spit and other viewpoint areas in the bay, including the scenic John Wayne Marina. I was taken aback with the natural beauty and simplicity of this coastal area and thought to myself, "My, what a hidden paradise this place is!"

The German auto maker is no stranger to engineering convertible cars of the highest quality, and after such icons as the 330Ci Cabriolet and the Z4, one might have wondered how such winning packages could be improved upon. However, in BMW AG's typical perfectionist tradition, they have once again raised the bar with an extremely well engineered and desirable addition; the 335Ci Cabriolet. (more…)
Mercedes-Benz tuning specialists Carlsson have joined forces with international leather-lifestyle brand Etienne Aigner to develop the Carlsson Aigner CK65 Eau Rouge model. Made in an exclusive small series, the luxury coupe based on the Mercedes-Benz CL produces over 700 bhp (522 kw) and 1,100 Nm after being reworked by Carlsson.
Carlsson/ Mercedes Press Release
Technical masterpiece
The engine conversion by Carlsson includes a special electronic control unit with special maps for injection and ignition. On the intake side, sports air filters ensure optimum aspiration. On the outlet side, a stainless-steel sports exhaust system with high-performance metal catalytic converters and sports silencers cut back-pressure to a minimum. Another measure to boost engine performance is improved intercooling, which reduces charge-air temperature. Thus, the V12 is always raring to go and the driver can rely on having more than adequate power on hand regardless of the situation. (more…)
