In 1935 the first electric bass Guitars were made but it wasn't until the 50's that the electric bass became popular. Until then most bassists played the stand up double bass.

Why did people in the 1930s want to get a bass guitar?

Most people hadn't even imagined a bass guita in the 1930's. One was developed by Paul Tutmark but it wasn't very popular and the bass guitar did not reach popularity until one was designed by Leo Fender in the 1950's. The bass guitar was designed to replace the double bass which, although a fantastic instrument, was extrmely impractical. They were expensive and extremely difficult to kart around, and were struggling to compete with the ever-increasing volume of the guitar. The bass guitar also allowed more freedom to perform, by allowing the user to walk around the stage and the frets made it easier to play in tune.
