Bass Guitar

Bass guitars are a unique instrument, yet they look almost the same as electric guitars. The construction process for a bass is also similar to an electric guitar. The differences between the two are the sound and the accessories.

Bass guitars have a low pitched bass sound. The sound is often amplified through an amplifier, especially when the guitar is played in a rock band. Amplifiers are also used when the bass is played on stage in front of an audience.

Bass guitars were invented to replace larger bass instruments. In fact, the first bass instruments were invented in order to make them portable and easy to play. These guitars have only been available since the 1930s.
