Acoustic bass guitar

An acoustic bass guitar is a type of stringed instrument that looks like a regular guitar, but it has a larger body and longer neck. It is similar to an electric bass guitar, but instead of having electric pickups it has a hollow body with a sound hole. This means you don't need to plug it into an amplifier to make sound. The strings of an acoustic bass guitar vibrate when plucked, creating sounds that are amplified by the hollow construction of the instrument. Acoustic bass guitars are commonly used in jazz and classical music.
