Let's start at the top. Headstock - the top of the guitar, which contains the tuning keys and machine heads.
Tuning Keys- the bass guitar typically contains four tuning key, one key to tune each string.
Machine Heads - the posts on the headstock that the strings are wrapped around.
Neck - the part of the fretboard that is closest to the headstock.
Fret - the neck is comprised of many frets which you place your fingers on to change the sound of a string.
Dot Position Inlays - these help the bassist know where he needs to put his fingers to play specific notes. They are a quick visual to allow the bassist to know where he is on the fretboard.
Pickguard - a extra protected area on the body of the bass guitar to prevent the bassist from scratching the bass guitar.
Pickups - the area of the guitar that gathers the sound coming from the strings so that the amplifier can play the sound.
Bridge - the area of the guitar where the strings terminate.

This is a great way to start beginner bass lessons online
Basics are often overlooked, or simply not understood. Beginner bass players will appreciate rudiments well into their advanced bass playing.
Thanks!
I ordered the Music Master Pro (Bass Guitar) from Encore Music, Inc. for $28.90 on 8/7/09. I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY MATERIAL THAT I PAID FOR. NOR COULD I GAIN ACCESS ON THE INTERNET. After a month I call their toll free number and spoke with Richard Ash the president of the company. He said they would only give me a refund if I sent the material back. Since I never recived any material in the first place this smelled like a scam to me. Richard Ash says the only way for me to get a refund is to PAY the shipping for a replacement to me and then PAY for the shipping to send it back to him. So, I am spending about $13 to get back what is left of my original $28.90. I am a senior citizen and I live on disability. Take it from me this is not a person or company that you would want to do business with.

Just an update on my experience with Encore Music, Inc. Richard Ash came through with my refund minus the delivery charge. That was nice to see. In lieu of this development I resind my intial attack on Mr. Ash and commend him for treating me honestly.
