[quote name='ficelles' post='1278016' date='Jun 22 2011, 01:01 AM']Interesting really... I mean there was this thing called a double bass that was a bass with no frets. Then back in the 1930s a guy called Paul Tutmarc invented the bass guitar, which was a smaller bass turned sideways and with frets on. Then sometime later someone decided to take the frets off and call it a fretless bass guitar. Then someone else had the idea of turning it vertical and making it longer and calling it an electric upright bass. At around this point in time, modern bass players started to rediscover this thing called a double bass...
