An electric bass, or bass guitar, is a stringed musical instrument that produces low-pitched tones, forming the rhythmic and harmonic foundation of many music styles. It typically has four strings, though some models have five or six, and is played by plucking or picking the strings while the sound is amplified electronically. The electric bass is widely used in genres such as rock, jazz, funk, and pop, and is essential for providing groove and depth to a band’s sound.
History
↓↓
The electric bass guitar was developed in the 1930s–1950s to provide a portable, amplified alternative to the double bass in jazz and popular music. Leo Fender introduced the first widely successful model, the Fender Precision Bass, in 1951. The electric bass quickly became a fundamental instrument in rock, funk, and other modern music genres. Today, it is used worldwide in diverse musical styles, often providing the rhythmic and harmonic foundation of a band.
