My favorite bass guitars, they come in 4 string, 5 string, and 6 string models. The thicker strings are mounted on a longer neck and slightly bigger body than an electric guitar, and are one octave lower than a guitar.
The most common tuning for a 4 string bass is from the thickest string E A D G. The most common for a 5 string is B E A D G, with a lesser used tuning of E A D G C, The six string bass used B E A D G C for its tuning.
Although the original electric bass guitar was made in the 1930′s, it wasn’t mass produced until the 1950′s by Fender and was the Precision Bass and is still manufactured today.
