Bass Guitar
The bass guitar is a stringed instrument played
primarily with the fingers or thumb, by plucking,
slapping, popping, strumming, tapping, thumping,
or picking with a plectrum, often known as a pick.
The bass guitar is similar in appearance and construction
to an electric guitar, but with a longer neck and scale length,
and four to six strings or courses.
The four-string bass, by far the most common,
is usually tuned the same as the double bass,
which corresponds to pitches one octave lower
than the four lowest pitched strings of a guitar (E, A, D, and G).
The bass guitar is a transposing instrument,
as it is notated in bass clef an octave higher than it
sounds to avoid excessive ledger lines.
Like the electric guitar, the bass guitar is plugged
into an amplifier and speaker for live performances.
In the 1930s, musician and inventor Paul Tutmarc from
Seattle, Washington, who was manufacturing lap steel guitars,
developed the first electric string bass in its modern form,
a fretted instrument designed to be played horizontally.
