The true genius behind the modern electric bass - Leo Fender

So if I said there was one guy who changed the modern electric bass forever (as in THE most important human in the history of bass guitar)…

And then asked you to guess who it was.

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 :)
