The bass guitar is similar in looks and construction to an electric guitar, but with a larger body, a longer neck and scale length, and usually four strings (and now five string bass guitars) tuned to the same pitches as those of the double bass, which also corresponds to one octave lower in pitch than the four lower strings of a guitar (E, A, D, and G). Like the electric guitar, the electric bass guitar is plugged into an amplifier and speaker for live performances.
Since the 1950s, the electric bass guitar has largely replaced the double or stand-up bass in popular music as the bass instrument of choice. The bass guitarist fulfills a similar role in most types of music: anchoring the harmonic framework and laying down the beat. The bass guitar is used in many styles of music including rock, metal, pop, blues and jazz. It is also used as a soloing instrument in jazz, fusion, Latin, funk, and in some rock and metal styles.
There are many types of Bass Guitars to choose, from beginner packs, fretless, left and right handed.

Just listen to the lyrics on "Seven Nation Army" ("From the Queen of England to the hounds of Hell") or the album outro, in which someone chips in, "Jolly good, cup of tea?" But while there are new twists here, from Meg White discovering her voice to a tongue-in-cheek threesome with Holly Golightly, Elephant is no great departure for Jack and Meg White... |
