Amidst the advent of the first solidbody electric guitars, the solidbody electric bass was born in 1950, when Leo Fender debuted his electric Precision Bass design. Offering an alternative to the cumbersome, bulky upright acoustic basses of the Big Band era, solidbody electric basses provide rock-solid tuning, precise intonation, and loads of sustain, even in the lowest reaches of the frequency spectrum—all of which have made the solidbody electric bass guitar into an essential ingredient of popular music!
