In this guide, we take a look at the history of the guitar, electric bass. When we speak of the history of the person under the first thing people usually think of Leo Fender. He is credited with introducing the world to the Precision Bass in 1951. The bass has been called a low accuracy because the accuracy of the notes. The players were able to play the notes that were perfectly in tune due to the presence of frets on the low electric. For many, this was the first real electric bass. This bar has been in mass and very recognizable when it was created by Fender, and even today it still is.
But while we give Leo Fender's contribution to the creation of Modern electric bass, it must be said that long before 1951, there were at least five other prototypes that resembled the design of the guitar, bass guitar today. In speaking of the history of bass, we must talk about the bass. In fact, under today is a direct descendant of 17th century data bass tracks. Although I was really in the 20th century with a more practical design was created.
When talking about the mention that under the story should be made by Lloyd Loar, known for designing the first double electric bass in 1920 while working for Gibson. Low used an electro-static collection, but there was no practical way to hear play. Unfortunately, the amplification is still low, a long way to go.
The evolution of the guitar, bass, leads us to the 1930s, when Paul Tutmarc built on a practice under terms of size. The first arrived with a truck and the size of a cello, but it was too heavy, so conceived was changed to that of a guitar. This 42-inch long under the solid body was made of black walnut and wine with piano strings and a pick-up. A few years later, the mid - 1930s, established firms like Lyon & Healy, Rickenbacker and Gibson, began selling low, but lower than the low level, yet large, fretless and honestly.
In 1940, he was the first time a major distributor played bass. The distributor has LDHeater Music Co. in Portland, Oregon, and bass were made by Paul Tutmarc. It was a fretted instrument should play vertical but horizontal. It came with a collection and were much smaller than previous versions.
It was then that Leo Fender came up with the modern electric bass. As mentioned earlier in our discussion of the history of bass, was the year of 1951. In 1957, the pickguard and headstock have returned to work and the engine was changed to a pick-up of Split. It took until 1960, when he designed the Jazz Bass. Unlike the Precision Bass, who came with two different microphones. The modern low became very popular.
The first 6 under was created in 1959 by Danelecto and the first 5 string in 1964 by Fender. The dishes was created in 1965 by Ampeg, and in 1968, under 8 ropes Hagstroem. Carl Thompson is credited with building the first 6 String Fretless bass in 1978.
Several developments have occurred since then. For example, Ned Steinberger headless has a low in 1979. In 1987, the Corporation launched the Guild guitar ashbory fretless bass. The Bass Strings used silicone rubber and a piezoelectric pickup to achieve a low of "double" sound. The bass is very short, only 18 inches long.
Over the years, trucks have also evolved. As well as single coil pickups, you now have many more like humbuckers, hybrid collection, passive and active pickups. They seem to be able to produce all the tones imaginable, from the sounds of pure signal grittiest dirt.
The electric bass seems to have become more popular today than ever. For example, when someone refers to a low, it is commonly thought that the electric bass to upright acoustic.
