context_page_description: The following is a list of notable electric bass guitar players. The bass guitar is a stringed instrument played primarily with the fingers or using a pick. Since the 1950s, the electric bass guitar has largely replaced the double bass in popular music. Bass guitarists provide the low-pitched basslines and bass runs in many different styles of music ranging from rock and metal to blues and jazz. Bassists also use the bass guitar as a soloing instrument in jazz, fusion, Latin, funk, and in some rock styles. Musicians known mainly as guitarists are listed separately in the list of guitarists.
  For double bass players, see:
  List of contemporary classical double bass players
  List of jazz bassists, which includes both double bass and electric bass players
  List of double bassists in popular music, which includes blues, folk, country, etc.
