Summary: The electric bass guitar belongs to the string family of instruments and is similar to other guitars in structure. The bass has a slightly larger body than the regular electric guitar and is played an octave lower in pitch. This instrument is a popular replacement instrument for the double bass and is featured in all genres of music. The body of the bass guitar is usually made of wood such as maple and rosewood. It is played by plucking the four strings that are stretched from base to the neck of the instrument. The bass produces a bass line in tunes, but can also be featured in a solo.
