Electric bass guitar

An electric bass guitar is a musical instrument that provides the foundational rhythm and harmony in various music genres, from rock and jazz to funk, blues, and pop. It is similar in appearance to an electric guitar but typically has a longer neck and a larger body, designed to accommodate the deeper tones it produces. The bass guitar is equipped with four (occasionally five or six) strings, tuned to lower pitches than a standard electric guitar, usually to E, A, D, and G.
The body of an electric bass guitar is often made from solid wood, like alder, ash, or mahogany, which influences its tone. The neck is typically made from maple or mahogany, with a fretboard of rosewood or maple. The neck is longer than that of a regular electric guitar, usually ranging from 34 to 35 inches, with a wider spacing between the strings, allowing for easier fingering of lower notes.
Electric bass guitars are equipped with pickups, which are electromagnetic devices that pick up the vibration of the strings and convert it into an electrical signal. There are two main types of pickups used in bass guitars:
Single-coil pickups: Known for their bright, clear sound but can be prone to hum.
Humbucker pickups: Known for their fuller, more powerful sound and reduced hum.
