In the 1970s section the article states “In the mid-1970s, Alembic and other high-end manufacturers, such as Tobias, began offering five-string basses, with a very low "B" string.” Note: Tobias was founded in 1977. This article would not be complete without mentioning Carl Thompson’s five string bass, featuring a low “B”, completed in May of 1976. Source: https://ctbasses.com/photo-collection/5-string-basses
Otherwise the article is misleading by skipping what may have been the first five string with a Low “B”. 80.218.112.71 ( talk) 20:49, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
This page is surprisingly messy for what I'd think is not a minor article. I'm going to have a go at sourcing citations and tidying up. Please do revert any changes if not up to standard and feed back. Jesuschristposed ( talk) 21:03, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for the help @Ojorojo! I've mostly looked at vandalised articles and tidied smaller local ones before, not really something like this. I'll read up and hopefully improve this article. Your feedback is much appreciated Jesuschristposed ( talk) 21:31, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
In the #Terminology section, we quote Grove saying "tuned E1'–A1'–D2–G2".
What do the apostrophes mean? Without them, it's normal scientific pitch notation. That article talks about using primes instead of numbers, but not with them (and apostrophes aren't primes). So what is this intending to say, and why can't it just be E1–A1–D2–G2 ? -- Finlay McWalter··–· Talk 12:08, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
Kay Musical Instrument Company began production of the K-162 in 1952, Danelectro released the Longhorn in 1956, and Burns London/Supersound in 1958. 66.210.125.114 ( talk) 00:05, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
"The bass guitar...is the lowest-pitched member of the string family." That's a bit overbroad, isn't it? There are no string instruments with a lower range than bass guitar? Or should this statement refer to the guitar family specifically? 69.128.140.82 ( talk) 18:44, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
