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.
The first bass clarinet in the form we know it today was made by Adolph Sax (who later invented the saxophone) in 1838.
the idea for a double bass kit came from the jass drummer Louie Bellson who thought of it in school. Double bass drum kits were first used in jazz by the likes of Ray McKinley and Ed Shaughnessey. They were made popular by drummers like Kieth Moon (The Who), Ginger Baker (Cream) and Nick Mason (Pink Floyd).
Today, The first bass guitar was invented by Paul Tutmarc in Seattle, Washington, USA in the early 1930's. It was known as the "Electric Bass Fiddle," and appeared in a catalog by Tutmarc's company, Audiovox, in 1935. Much smaller than the double bass, this bass was easier to carry. This bass was not fretted, however, and was not quite as popular as its descendant.This design was innovated greatly by Leo Fender, founder of what is now known as Fender Musical Instruments Corporation. Using a telecaster-body design, Fender came out with the "Precision Bass," a.k.a. "P-Bass" in 1951. It was fretted like a guitar, which allowed players greater ease in playing in tune (hence the name: "Precision Bass"). Not only was this model easier to carry than a double bass, but it was also much easier to play in tune. This model was extremely popular and was the first bass guitar as we know it today. FML
