bass guitar

A plucked string instrument, closely related to the guitar. See double bass for the traditional bowed string instrument.

A bass guitar can be distinguished from a standard guitar by the fact that it almost always has four strings, and four tuning pegs at the top of the neck, usually along one side or with two on each side directly opposed. The bridge is also much closer to the bottom of the body to accommodate the longer strings.

Do not tag bass guitars as regular guitars.
