The electric bass guitar was first designed in the 1950s. Initially conceived as a way for guitarists to sit in on bass, the instrument quickly took over as the preeminent low-end instrument for the music of the day.

Luckily, whether you want fretted, fretless, bolt-on, or neck-through, you’re going to find it at Total Music Source.
