electric bass

An electric bass is a stringed instrument that produces sound electronically. It typically has four thick strings tuned to low musical notes, providing the bassline that supports other instruments in music. When you pluck or slap the strings, they vibrate and send signals to an amplifier, making the sound louder and adjustable in tone and volume. Electric basses are essential for creating rhythm and depth in many music genres, including rock, jazz, and funk. Their design allows for versatile playing styles and easily integrated amplification, making them a fundamental part of contemporary music ensembles.
