How does the electricity work in a bass guitar? |
[Edit] |
For the most part, electricity does not travel thru a bass. The magnetic poles, or pickups on a bass are basically magnets. The magnetic pickups recieve vibrations from the metal strings. The strings are attracted to the magnets but do not touch them. Therefore, whenever you pluck a string, the vibration travels thru the magnets and out the input. The electricity that travels out of the bass is really low, just the power of the magnets working, but thats where amps get involved.
Amps recieve the low emition thru the pickups and with added gain, amplify the sound (make it louder). The amps make it louder by using tubes. The low emition goes thru one side of the tube and comes out with a higher output and eventually into the speaker.
