THE original Bass Guitar was developed bu Paul Tutmarc in the 1930s as a replacement for the double bass, but he received little success for the invention. In the 1950's Leo Fender (who, obviously, is the man who strated Fender. Doesn;t have anything to do with it any more but that's another story) took the idea and produced the first mass produced bass guitar on the market; the precision bass. This was hugely popular and since bass Guitars have become the norm in all bands, and variations upon the precision and still made and extremely popular.
The double bass descends most likely from a class of instruments called viols de gamba (violins of the leg), which got their name from being played sitting down with the instrument between the knees. The first person to make what is considered a modern bass is Gasparo da Salo in modern Italy, in the late 1500s.
