The original and most common Bass Guitar is the 4-string electric which speaks for itself, has 4 strings tuned E, A, D and G. Since then more variations have been created- such as the 5 string (which also has the lowers string of B) all the way up to a 12 string! but these are extremely uncommon. There are also acoustic which have the large hollow bodies, but again these are fairly uncommon, but very useful.

∙ 14y agoThe two main types of bass Guitars are acoustic and electric. Electric are by far the most common and most popular.
A typical electric bass guitar has 4 strings but is also available with 5, 6, 7 or more strings that will allow one to play notes with more dynamic range.
Acoustic bass guitars are more of a specialty item, cost more, and are harder to find.
