Electric bass guitar requires external amplification in many ways the same as a standard electric guitars do – and for the same reason. There are some electric bass guitar with an empty body, similar to those found on acoustic guitar, and this helps to provide some extra tone of voice.

There are two basic types of amplifiers that can be used by people who play the electric bass guitar. The first is a combination or ‘combo’ amplifier, and this has amplifier and speaker unit built for one unit. Usually these are large, often black unit with a large speaker grill on the front, and the amplifier unit built for the top layer, with the buttons, knobs and switches on the front lines.

When it comes to recording electric bass guitar, this is often achieved by completely by-pass amplifier, and instead of directly connecting guitar to the sound recording equipment, and then provide external reinforcement of this. By setting the guitar in this way, the better the sound quality is produced, instead of recording an acoustic sound that has been made electronically. Recording electric bass guitar with a direct link to the voice recording equipment also provides artists and studios to create and apply additional effects, perhaps digitally, by directly manipulating the original electrical signal. For example, pre-amplifier can sometimes be used to influence the way the guitar sounds, helping to recreate the guitar sound different brands, such as the old model or used in a particular branch of music.
