The inventor of the electric bass is Paul Tutmarc .
electric bass is a creation of Fender in the mid to early 50s but just like electric guitar it goes back to the 15th century.
In the 1930s, musician and inventor Paul Tutmarc from Seattle, Washington, developed the first electric string bass
6 string guitar = treble electric bass= bass
The electric bass guitar in its modern form was invented by the American, Leo Fender, although a short-scale (30") solid-body electric bass guitar was invented and marketed by Paul Tutmarc, another American as early as 1937. Fender's 1951 instrument used a newly-designed double-cutaway body and a longer 34" scale length, both of which are still used today by Fender and other manufacturers.
The electric bass. Probably the electric bass ^ Pfft. I wish. But the acoustic guitar is a LOT more popular than the electric bass. Many people have no idea what a bass guitar is!
Well, for one, string bass strings are a lot longer than electric bass strings. I wouldn't recommend putting string bass strings on an electric bass and vice versa.
The double bass, which is a large violin. The electric bass was designed to be a scaled down version of this.
the acoustic bass
A bass-guitar and an electric bass guitar is the same thing, unless you want to get technical and call it an acoustic bass guitar and an electric, whereas your answer would be electric (for a rock/alt./punk/metal band) ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Paul Tutmarc did not invent the electric bass. Leo Fender did in 1951. It was the Precision bass.
Comercially, Leo Fender produced the first electric bass guitar, in the form of the P-Bass. Still a popular bass today.
A bass guitar is really low sounding and the highest string on a bass guitar is the lowest on an electric guitar.
