Keyboard bass

The keyboard bass is, as its name suggests, a keyboard alternative for the bass guitar or double bass. The earliest one of these was the Fender Rhodes piano bass, pictured above. They are a common alternative to bass guitars in rap and modern R&B music today.

Other variants of the keyboard bass include bass pedals, which are operated by musicians using their feet, usually the guitar player or bass player of a band, e.g. Genesis' Mike Rutherford or Marillion's Pete Trewavas. The most visible keyboard bass player in recent history is probably The Doors' Ray Manzarek.
