Bass Guitars at World of Music
Operating down in the lower registers, the bass guitar is the instrument that holds the rest of the band together. Pitched an octave below its relative the electric guitar, the bass guitar is generally a four string instrument that operates in the rhythm section of a band. Since the 1960’s the electric bass has largely replaced the Double Bass in popular music styles and many genres of particularly heavy music have utilised 5 and 6 string basses to achieve even lower and heavier sounds.
