Overview and History of Bass

The Electric Bass Guitar originated in the 50s at about the same time as the Electric Guitar. Leo Fender created the precision bass in 1951 which quickly set the standard on which all other Electric Bass Guitars have been judged. Bass Guitar has found a home in every genre of popular music including Jazz, Blues, Country, and Rock. It is often also used as a solo instrument in R & B, Hip Hop, and Funk.

Age to Begin Bass Lessons

The Bass is a great instrument for students of all ages to begin their studies and musical explorations. We recommend starting children on the bass guitar no younger than age 8, as a certain degree of hand strength is required.

Procuring an Instrument

There are many options available to students who are looking to acquire an instrument. New and used Bass Guitars are carried in almost every music store across the country. For advice on where to look in your specific location, feel free to contact Musika.

The Benefit of Bass Lessons

The Bass Guitar has a very specific role in music and a good Bass teacher can introduce you to the tools and techniques of bass playing. By utilizing different playing techniques, a student can literally produce hundreds of different sounds in order to capture those funky sounds familiar to rock, jazz, blues, and R & B. Musika can also provide you with an Upright Bass teacher if you want to dive into Jazz in-depth. Ultimately, Bass lessons will give the student the chance to find out how to create those pulsing bass lines that make everyone groove and tap their foot.
