The bass guitar is played with fingers by plucking, slapping, popping, or tapping or using a pick. The bass is similar to and is constructed like an electric guitar, but with a larger body, a longer neck, and has usually four strings. These are tuned one octave lower than the four lower strings of a guitar.
