Acoustic Bass Guitar Strings
The acoustic bass guitar (also acoustic bass or ABG) is a bass instrument featuring a hollow wooden body similar to, albeit typically larger than, a steel-string acoustic guitar. Similar to the traditional electric bass guitar and the double bass, the acoustic bass guitar generally has four strings tuned E-A-D-G, an octave below the lowest four strings of the 6-string guitar.
In environments where other acoustic instruments are present, it can be challenging to hear an acoustic bass guitar without amplification. Consequently, most acoustic basses incorporate pickups, either magnetic or piezoelectric, or a combination of both, allowing amplification through a bass amp or direct box/PA.
Complete sets are listed in the sections below. Individual acoustic bass guitar strings can be found in the Single Strings section.
