Electric Bass Guitar

The electric bass guitar is a stringed instrument, typically with four strings tuned an octave below a standard guitar, that uses magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal amplified through a bass amplifier. Invented in the 1930s-50s and popularized by Leo Fender's Precision Bass, it provides the low-end harmonic and rhythmic foundation in genres from rock and funk to jazz and pop. Players use techniques like fingerstyle, pick, and slap-and-pop to shape its sound.
