Bass Guitar Overview
The electric bass guitar is a descendant of the double bass (a cousin of the violin and viola da gamba) and shares design attributes of the electric guitar and features in common with a range of other bass instruments. Electric basses may be fretted or fretless, although fretted basses are more common.

The electric bass, in contrast to the upright bass (or double bass), is played while being held horizontally across the body. It is not played with a bow; instead it is usually plucked with the fingers (and sometimes also the thumb) or a plectrum (pick).

In electric basses, as with the electric guitar, the vibrations of the instrument's metal strings within the magnetic field of the permanent magnets in the pickups (pickups), produce small variations in the magnetic flux threading the coils of the pickups. This in turn produces small electrical voltages in the coils. These low-level signals are then amplified and played through a speaker. A less common variant of pickup uses one or more piezoelectric elements usually in the bridge assembly directly to sense the mechanical vibrations of the strings. Various electronic components, and the configuration of the amplifier and speaker, can be used to alter the basic sound of the bass instrument.

The electric bass is the standard bass instrument in many musical genres, including country, jazz, rock and roll, soul, funk, and modern orchestral music.
