| | Bass History - The GUITAR Site |
 | | It became evident to guitar makers that new type of bass guitar was necessary if the bass was to be a prominent instrument in modern bands. | | | Considering the lengthy history of the guitar, it is surprising that it took until the 1950s for the bass guitar to reach its full potential. | | | While this acoustic instrument worked well in jazz, it was unsatisfactory for modern pop music—due to its low amplification, the fact that it is an instrument that requires extensive technique to play properly, and due to its large size as simply getting it to the gig was problematic. |

| | Waxing Philosophic : Lesson by Dan Lasley |
| | We once opened for a southern rock band that had several guitarists, and I could tell that the bass player used to be a lead guitarist. | | | When you can, practice with a rhythm guitarist, who can give you the “musical environment” needed to learn a new song. | | | He had been “demoted” to bass because the original musician had left the band. |

| | Granted, you can have a pretty drastic effect by altering the rhythm of what you're playing (e.g., playing a driving bass part really pushes the song along vs. playing a really laid back bass part), but you can have a tremendous effect on the overall tonality of the song, too. | | | I actually bought it to use only for recording, but got into a band shortly thereafter. | | | It sounded great, but was just a little underpowered to cut through enough at band practice. |
