I bet you’d go with guys such as Jaco, James Jamerson, Larry Graham etc… But honestly, even though they played a huge part in the development of the bass guitar, it’s not any of them. Think about it. For the guys to do what they do, they needed someone to actually invent the modern day electric bass. And it just so happens that the precision bass, the jazz bass and the Musicman Stingray were ALL invented by the same guy! Oh, and that was along with the first production bass that had active electronics (yep, the Stingray), the Telecaster and the Stratocaster… Needless to say, the guy I’m talking about was Leo Fender. And when you hear his story you’ll begin to understand the true impact he had on the music industry and how much of a genius he truly was. As always, see you in the shed… Scott :) === Video Breakdown: 00:00 - The Most Important Figure in Bass History 00:40 - Common Guesses: Jaco, Jamerson, Graham 01:15 - The Real Answer: Leo Fender 01:45 - Fender’s Inventions: Precision, Jazz, Stingray 02:20 - Active Electronics and Other Innovations 02:50 - Broader Impact on the Music Industry 03:20 - Conclusion: Leo Fender’s Legacy === GET MORE BASS TIPS 👇 _________________________________________________________________ 🙌 Be the first to know - SUBSCRIBE now → https://bit.ly/sub-to-sbl-yt 🎧 Tune in to our Weekly PODCAST → https://sblpodcast.buzzsprout.com/share 📱 Try our free GrooveTrainer APP → https://scottsbasslessons.com/groove-...
