por Horia Trifan, Bajo eléctrico de Los Cervantinos Band.
The bass guitar is one of the most underrateed intruments that is part of a band. It's main role in a band is to mentain the rhythm. The bass guitar is played primarily with the fingers or the thumb but it can be played by plucking, slapping, strumming, tapping, picking and probably a lot more i don't know about.
The bass guitar is not so different from a normal electric guitar. It has a longer neck and scale lenght, it can have from four to six strings and the one with four string , which is the most coomon one, it's tuned one octave lower than the four lowest strings of a guitar (E, A, D and G).
Many styles of music use the bass some of them being rock, metal, pop, punk rock, reggae, blues, jazz.
The bass guitar is my favorite instrument beacause even though many people don't see it's role i'm pleased to stay somewhere behind everyone holding their back with the rhythm and if it's a precission bass things just get nicer.
