A good writer can describe the drying of paint in an appealing way.

I did a comparison/contrast essay on the differences between a Precision bass, and a Jazz Bass.

 

I'd just do an essay about "bass notes and the different means for delivering them in modern electric music" - maybe a word or two about bass guitar/UB history (upright's in old jazz and country music, birth of Fender Precision, Jaco and electric fretless etc.) and then explaining something about amplified uprights, EUB's and in which genres which type of instrument is popular and why from historical view.

I'd leave the technical details to minimum, unless it's about electric instrument design for woodworking school, since no-one's interested in them and you would have to waste your time in explaining the stuff to someone who doesn't know how an instrument works.

 

I'm not going to offer comment on this (and I probably should as I was considered for Degree level English ) , though I did once write an essay about a music festival at my school. Thats about as close as I've came to writing about basses, these days I see nought but Wordsworth and Shakespeare...

 

What style of essay have you been assigned? Informative? Comparison? Persuasive?

The answer to that question marks your logical starting point.

 

That is almost word for word what I did for my senior project last year. Both my teacher and judges loved it.

 

I don't know why everyone on here keeps talking about that "interesting" iPod acessory....


good luck on your paper

 

I have written a ton of essays and speeches about music.

If it has to be a classification essay, you could do, different types of basses, different types of basslines, different types of musicians, different roles of instruments. I have done all of those in the past, none are too hard.
