A Definitive Guide To Acoustic Bass Guitars

By Aubrey Crisafulli


An acoustic bass guitar is simply a bass guitar with no electronic pickups. The body of the acoustic bass is used to produce sound. Acoustic bass guitars are usually a four stringed guitar however you can occasionally find them with 5 or 6 strings max. The modern acoustic bass guitar is in fact a pretty recent invention. This guitar was initially produced by Ernie Ball to give a bass guitar that's more acoustic-sounding and better complements the acoustic guitars timbre.

While the electric bass guitar is generally a solid body or semi-hollow bodied instrument, the acoustic bass guitar generally has a hollow wooden body in similar fashion to that of the steel-string acoustic guitar. Much the same as its electric guitar cousins, you can often find acoustic bass guitars with 4, 5 and 6 strings.

The earliest modern acoustic bass guitar was created in the early 1960s, as mentioned above by Ernie Ball of San Luis Obispo, CA. Ball focused to offer bass guitarists with a better sounding instrument. Late 1980s, MTV unplugged series helped popularize hollow bodied acoustic bass guitars amplified with pickups by amplifying the sound with pickups.

The 1972, the Earthwood acoustic bass guitar was released to the market. The Earthwood acoustic guitar was pretty large and deep as opposed to many guitar instruments and provided more volume, specifically in the low register. Eventually Earthwood became almost extinct.

The Victor Bailey acoustic bass is not an acoustic giant, however its powerful midrange and comfortable feel make it into an incredible unaccompanied acoustic instrument and also a gorgeous, adaptable plugged-in stage guitar.

The Thunderchief plays, feels, and also does respond with the resonant output and receptive feedback of an instrument designed to be heard with other acoustic instruments. It's probably the most rewarding acoustic bass guitar anyone could play, and it has an outstanding value.

Entry-level acoustic bass guitars are usually built fully from laminated wood. But mid-range acoustic bass guitars may often have a combined solid components, normally solid top and laminated woods. Acoustic basses are most preferably used while playing a folk music or a country song, although many pop as well as rock performers use this guitar in many cases in their concerts.

Nowadays acoustic bass guitar is a component of almost every music performance set. The sound it produce make every style of music sound really good.
