Bass guitar - compare/contrast

I have to do an essay that only allows for me to use either contrast or comparison. (not both, for some odd reason)
I chose bass and guitar, but the paper I've written seems to be a little dry?(it reads like a manual)

Any advice?

Greetings!

There are a couple of ways (or more) to spice up writing that comes across as dry. One is with humor, a personal favorite technique of mine. For instance, if I were writing about [my one laughable experience] playing bass, I might say that it would help to have fingers the size of bratwursts to play the thick strings!

Another technique is to plump up your writing with metaphors and similes (the bratwurst reference is metaphorical). Descriptive prose doesn't have to be confined to romantic poetry! See if you can work in some metaphorical language, and I think you'll find it humidifies your writing a bit! ;-))

Thanks,
