The bass guitar is a stringed instrument that provides the low-frequency foundation in a band's rhythm section, typically played with four strings tuned lower than a standard guitar. Bassists use techniques like fingerstyle plucking, slapping, and pick playing across genres such as rock, jazz, funk, and pop. It's a popular instrument for musicians drawn to grooving with drummers and anchoring a song's harmonic structure.
