Do you know what a bass guitar is? (Read On)?

Question

I play bass, piano, and guitar and none of my friends even know what a bass is. I want to see about how many people know. Jut say yes or no and post your definition, or what the difference is between a bass guitar and guitar.

Answer 1

Yes. Electric bass guitar usually four strings, plays in the bottom spectrum of the musical note range, first thru fourth octaves, 41.2Hz. to 392Hz.
( i.e. Fender Jazz or Precision Bass)

Answer 2

Yes, I know the difference between a bass guitar and a normal guitar.

A bass guitar has four strings (E, A, D, G) and is the same thing as an upright, acoustic bass that is used in full orchestras, just with the body of a guitar with a longer neck.

A normal guitar has six strings (E, A, D, G, B, E) and has a shorter neck than a bass guitar and can go higher note wise.

Answer 3

A Bass Guitar is an electric or acoustic instrument with four to six strings that plays in the same range as the upright Bass. The traditional Bass guitar also share the same tuning as the upright bass, E - A - D - G, which is also the same tuning as the lowest four strings on the traditional guitar. The electric bass can be a solo or accompaniment instrument, although is is usually used to accompany rhythm, solo, and percussion instruments to include voice.

The Bass guitar has been redefining itself over the years. Strings are being added, necks are being lengthened and tunings are changing to accommodate different playing styles. I have a five string bass (Yamaha BC 3000) that I sometimes tune in fifths (C - G - D - A) to get a more open and resonant sound while increasing the range possibilities. The six string bass with a double neck is also popular with bass players who want to double on rhythm guitar, or solo in the upper range without changing instruments. The acoustic bass has recently become very popular with groups who consider the "unplugged" sound to be a refreshing option for their audiences. There are various folk instruments such as the Guitarron, that play in the same range as the bass guitar, although that particular instrument is played in octaves and has an eccentric tuning system.

The biggest difference between a Bass guitar and a guitar, is the range in which it performs the bulk of it's music in a group setting. A bass can actually get into the range of a guitar, but a guitar (unless it is modified considerably) cannot get down into the range of a Bass guitar. Combinations of these instruments are generally called hybrids.

Answer 4

The electric bass guitar (or "electric bass") is an electrically-amplified string instrument played with the fingers by plucking, slapping, or using a pick. The bass is typically similar in appearance and construction to an electric guitar, but with a larger body, a longer neck and scale length, and, usually, four or five strings tuned in fourths, one octave lower in pitch than the bass strings of a guitar

Answer 5

Yes

A bass guitar plays the low register. It typically has 4 strings although 5 and 6 string versions are available.

Answer 6

A string instrument typically containing 4-6 strings and usually electric. Provides the "bassy" or baritone sound in multiple genres of music, derived from the old fashioned stand-up bass, usually heard in Jazz, Country, and Rock a Billy.

Bass guitar provides lower notes, usually to accompany other instruments, such as the traditional guitar. The difference mainly being it's lower, background rhythm. Almost a bedrock for music to be "built" upon, though not "necessary" usually a staple instrument.
