Bass Guitar

Deep low frequencies are attractive sounds. The visceral “feel it in your bones” power of the bass is a joy to play. Emphasizing rhythm and working closely with drums, bass lines are the heart and soul of much music.  Linking the other instruments together, bassists create essential melodic pulse. Engage with the groove!
