Electric Stringed Instruments

Electric Stringed Instruments

As the current travels through the wire, a field of electricity is formed around the pick-up. Each pole corresponds to a string(in the case of bass the number of poles is 4) and as the string vibrates it disturbs the electrical field. These disturbances are then passed through a patch-cord to an amplifier, which sorts the pitches and makes the sounds. [AW] {NR}
