Ibanez SGT520VS - Sage Series Acoustic Guitar

SGT520VS has re-enforced that reputation: a smart combination of materials and very apparent attention to construction details helps this elegant guitar stand apart in a very cluttered budget dreadnought market.

The ever-improving quality of many entry-level guitars certainly isn’t new news. But finding a good guitar at a rock-bottom price can still be a roll of the dice. Ibanez has a solid track record for minimizing that risk and delivering playability and tone at the lower end of the cost spectrum.


Specs
Finish: Vintage Sunburst High Gloss Finish
BodyShape: Dreadnought Body
Neck: Mahogany Neck
BackSides: Mahogany Back and Sides
GtrTop: Solid Spruce Top
Rosette: Pearloid Rosette
Tuners: Ibanez Chrome Die-Cast Tuners
Fretboard: Rosewood Bridge and Fretboard
Saddle: Ivorex II ™ Nut and Saddle
BridgePins: Advantage™ Bridge Pins
Strings: D'Addario® EXP™ Strings

The Ibanez SGT520VS is an ideal beginner’s guitar and good enough that any player looking for a solid second instrument would also be well served by checking it out. It’s highly playable, tonally satisfying, and shows every sign of being a well-made and long-lasting instrument that may well mature gracefully in tone and appearance. With a street price of less than $200, it’s safe to say Ibanez has taken a step toward reaching a new high at the low end.

Mike Garrigan Records an Acoustic Bass

Writen by Mike Garrigan at www.MikeGarrigan.com

I love the challenge of recording instruments that I'm not used to recording. Yesterday, at a tracking session for John Gillespie, I got my first opportunity to record an acoustic bass.



Even with acoustic music, I typically prefer an electric bass. The electric bass is a known quantity--fairly easy to record well. John is working on a 19 song album at my studio. He thought, and I agreed, that it would be wise to change up the bass tone a bit from song to song. An acoustic bass seemed like a good option for five of the songs.

An acoustic bass is a different beast all together. All of the rules apply for acoustic guitar, except there's the issue of it being a lower octave and more air being displaced by the lower waves. The go-to mic for this kind of thing is a condenser mic. Most engineers would lobby for putting the mic about a foot away from the instrument. I didn't do this.

I took a line signal from the instrument's pickup. The direct line from this acoustic bass sounded a bit clacky, so I rolled off a considerable amount of highs. Still, I wasn't getting the low that I wanted from the direct line. Rather than boost a bunch of lows on the EQ, I reached for a dynamic floor tom mic. I put the mic as close to the sound hole as I could. I was very pleased with the result. The lows are full and resonant and I didn't have to compress or EQ at all. That's what I shoot for.

Two Important Functions of Bass

In almost all musical forms, the bass has two important functions to fulfill.
First, the bass defines the chords being played and guides the movement of the music from one chord to another. This role is usually shared with a guitar or a piano.

Second, the bass provides the rhythm of the music being played. This role is usually shared with the drums. Because it links the two functions of rhythm and harmony, the bass is often the instrument around which the rest of the music is organized.


All music is organized into chords. A chord is a set of three or more different notes being played simultaneously, with one of the notes being the root note of the chord and the other notes defining the type of chord being played. The job of the bass is to indicate which chord is being played at a given moment, and this is most easily achieved by playing the root note of the chord.
