Talk:Contrabass guitar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Judging by the string widths on the picture of the Bohman guitar, it was in fact tuned the same, or very close to the same as the current incarnation of the six string bass guitar. I'm not expert on string tension and the mathmatics of sound, but I am an experienced bass player, and those strings look exactly like the ones on my acoustic six string bass.

But that's a helpful comment. This article needs serious work, at present it's not even a good stub, just a bit of discussion. Andrewa 00:41, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

What distinguishes the modern 6 string electric bass from the 1970's solid body contrabass guitar? The tuning is the same. As I understood it, "contrabass guitar" is the term preferred by Anthony Jackson, but there seems to be no real difference between the two. 139.55.34.29 21:23, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
