bass guitarists
Rhythm section anchors
Bass guitarists are musicians who play the bass guitar—the lower-pitched, typically four-stringed instrument that provides rhythmic and harmonic foundation in rock, jazz, funk, and other popular music.
The term distinguishes them from bassists who play upright or double bass: The band's looking for a bass guitarist, not someone who plays standup.
