#3 STRING BASS PROFESSIONAL#

Most basses are 3/4-size basses, and many professional bassists use a 3/4 bass. Lower strings are nylon-wrapped wire whereas higher strings are pure nylon. There are also bass strings constructed of nylon. Bassists who are members of musical groups such as baroque ensembles and traditional blues bands may still use gut-stringed basses. Steel has mostly replaced the use of gut. Historically, upright bass strings were made from gut, which is sheep's intestines. Those basses are widely used in music conservatories and youth symphonies as well as in pop and folk music groups. There are also basses made of laminated plywood. Bass fingerboards and tailpieces are made of ebony. Maple is used to build the neck, back, and ribs. Basses can sound and look different from each other because the design has never been completely standardized.Ī bass will generally consist of several different kinds of wood. Like viols, though, the upright bass has a flat back and sloped shoulders. The bass shares features with members of the violin family, such as a vertical bridge, a scroll, and a tailpiece. Some scholars believe that the upright bass is descended from the viola da gamba, which originated in Europe during the 15th century, whereas others are of the opinion that the bass is more similar to the internal construction of instruments in the violin family rather than the viol family. It is conventionally a member of an orchestra's string section and is also used in musical genres such as jazz, bluegrass, and folk music. It is considered to be a member of the violin family, and it has the lowest pitch in that family. An upright bass, also known as the bass or double bass, is a stringed musical instrument that is played either by plucking its strings (pizzicato) or with a bow (arco).
