When I play string bass with a bow, no sound comes out. Why?

More rosin, yes, and try using more weight from the arm. And perhaps even the hair is still not tight enough. Probably more rosin (a good brand is Nymans) will do.

the metal strings expand and contract depending on the temperature. This changes how tightly wound the strings are. The tightness of the strings affects the sound or tune

check a local music store first.  not a record store, but something like Marshal Music, or Meyer Music is good for strings.

there may be an attenuator in there--buy i wouldn,t mess with it---most wah wah pedals are nothing more than a tone control--sell the one you have and try another at the music store before you buy it---i think dunlop makes a dimebag model that has a wider range than most---good luck!!

Well, I SINCERELY hope you are NOT successful!!\n\nEvery violin in the world is quite unique in resonance.\nReasons for this include the density of the woods used, the age of the violin, construction methods and humidity history over the life of the instrument.\n\nYou will find, however, that the frequencies of one octave around middle-c will have the HIGHEST resonance effect.\nA VERY strong SQUAREWAVE ( +/1 80db ) of around 260Hz should cause structural damage to the violin AS WELL AS YOUR EARS!! ( Squarewave because of the rich harmonics )

Buy a chromatic tuner (Electronic Device), available at music stores. This will tell you if your bagpipes are out of tune. Then, tune them using the appropriate tools.\n\nNate

Yes, it's probably broken. Try hitting your monitor & see if that helps. If you turn off your monitor & the sound stops, you'll need to get a new monitor.

this guitar has a vibrato arm?  if it does, be sure to change 1 string at a time. for instance, take off the high E (thinnest) string and then put the new one on, replacing it. continue by taking off the low E(the thickest) string and replace it. then go  back and take the second to thinnest (B string) off and take it off and replace it... follow this pattern.  try to get the closest to the same guage string you had on it if you can. if you have any more questions i will try to help. you can email me at metalman74@yahoo.com

NO IT DOES NOT MAKE A SOUND!\n\nto have a sound you need 3 things\n\na source to produce sound waves in a medium\n\na medium for the sound waves to pass through\n\nand a reciever to detect the sound waves\n\n\ntherefor if you have noe reciever to recieve the sound waves there is no sound.\n\nand MR Um?  i'm sorry but trees do not act as a RECIEVER for sound they in this case would act merely as an attenuation ow the sound due to reflection, scattering, and absorbtion.\n\nYOU DO NOT WANT TO ARGUE WITH AN ACOUSTIC ENGINEER WHEN IT COMES TO TALKING ABOUT SOUND!

Take it to a violin repair-man. (unless you are one, then I have no clue)

Before you try to fix the output on the guitar, try a new cable. If that doesn't work, you'll need to find out if the problem is the guitar or the amp. You can check this by using a different guitar to see if the amp works. If that works, then you know the problem is the guitar. If it doesn't work, then most likely it is the amp.

That'd be your B string. Take the peg out of the bridge and put the end of the string that has the little round bit in. Then place the peg back in and pull the string so that it locks in place under the peg. Pull the string up to the head (it's the bottom middle peg that it needs togo through) and put it through the peg. You'll want a bit of slack, but not too much. About enough that you can put both your hands under the string one on top of the other should do it. Then hold the string down at the nut (the little plastic bit where the neck meets the head) and start turning the tuning peg toward the body. This will make the string wrap around on the correct side so it doesn't rub the E string. While you are doing this make sure to keep pressure where the string is on the nut and don't let the peg come out of the bridge or the winding string pop off the top of the tuning peg. Just tighten it up and there you go!\n\nHope this helps! Good luck!

I'm thinking a stringed instrument would be harder to play.  Like you I might be a bit biased as I've watched my daughter play the violin for almost 8 years now and there is no way I could do what she does.  It takes so much just to get a single note right.

Have you "Muted" the sound on the game itself? If so toggle the mute button back and forth to see if you get any sound. Make sure that the sound level is turned up on the game to a level where you can get some type of sound.

You probably need to purchase a new sound card. Same thing happened with my PC, had a power outage and had to replace sound card because it got fried somehow. Usually a decent sound card for just playing music and sound, nothing fancy like bass, DJing, is $30-50.

Since the Bass is tuned E-A-D-G and the guitar is tuned E-A-D-G-B-E you can easily learn bass runs on a guitar. Just use the four low strings.\n\nTurning your guitar into a bass won't work because first: bass strings won't fit through your tuners; second:the length of your acoustics's neck and fret spacing are shorter than that of a bass:third; string tension would never be right and you wouldn't get much sound; fourth: because of string tension and legnth of frets and strings you'd always be out of tune.

Cracking? You either strung it too tight or strung it wrong, uneven poundage. It could also be defected racket, bring it back to the company and they should give you a new one, maybe ask for a different model. There are lots of examples of cracking, suppose you have a Johnny Mac day, maybe you had them too much.
