Fretless Bass Guitars

A fretless bass guitar, like a violin, cello, or upright bass, does not use frets to define pitch on the fingerboard. Because there are no frets, the musician can alter the pitch using a variety of approaches. It can also produce a different tone than a fretted bass, such as a softer attack and more singing sustain, as well as a rumbling, warm character.

Acoustic Bass Guitars

An acoustic bass, like an acoustic guitar, does not use electronic amplification to project or transmit sound.

A Brief History of Bass Guitar

With ancestors dating back to 15th century Europe, the bass guitar as we know it evolved over hundreds of years to become the fretted electric devices that are so popular today.

Even when Leo Fender originally launched the solid-body, fretted electric Precision Bass in 1951, it took several years for musicians and producers to completely adopt and accept it as a genuine substitute for the upright bass.

However, as time passed, this groundbreaking design grew in popularity, and every major manufacturer began producing their own versions of the electric bass guitar—Gibson with its EB series, Hofner with the 500/1 Violin Bass, Rickenbacker with the 4001, and countless more.

The bass guitar is an essential feature of many musical ensembles, serving as both a harmonic player and the rhythmic foundation. Reverb provides a massive collection of new and used bass guitars, ranging from upright to acoustic, beginner basses to legendary antique basses.
