It is a plucked, fretted, stringed electrophone. In other words, it has strings which are plucked; the strings are pressed down behind metal frets to determine pitch, and the instrument's sound is amplified electrically. Less technically, it is most closely related to the electric guitar, with some input from the orchestral double-bass, and it has acoustic ancestors including the Mando-bass, the Bass Banjo and the Contrabass Balalaika. The actual Acoustic Bass Guitar, however is a recent invention, dating from no earlier than the late 1960s.

How do electric bass strings compare to upright bass strings?
Electric bass strings and upright bass strings differ significantly in design, feel, and function — and at Smiger Guitar, we help musicians understand and choose what best fits their style. Electric bass strings are typically made of steel or nickel and are thinner, smoother, and designed for precision and speed. They're built to work with magnetic pickups, giving you a sharp, punchy sound perfect for rock, funk, jazz, and pop genres. These strings are easier to press and allow for fast fingerstyle or pick playing. On the other hand, upright bass strings (double bass strings) are thicker, longer, and often wrapped with different materials like chrome or nylon. They’re built for acoustic resonance and a deep, woody tone — ideal for classical, jazz, and orchestral settings. Upright bass strings require more finger pressure and offer a completely different tactile and tonal experience. At Smiger Guitar, we focus on crafting high-quality electric basses that deliver modern tone, comfort, and reliability. While we specialize in electric instruments, we’re passionate about helping bassists understand all string types to enhance their playing journey. Want guidance on choosing the right bass strings? Our team at Smiger Guitar is here to help you groove smarter. 🎸
