Best Answer

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.
