(BASE - gitt - TARR) A musical instrument that's a hybrid of the upright bass (also known as the double bass or bass violin) and the electric guitar, conveniently combining the low tonal range of the upright bass with the portability and playability of the guitar. Popularized by models created by Leo Fender in the 1950s, although he wasn't the first to manufacture a bass & guitar combination.
Like the original upright bass, bass guitars most commonly have 4 thick strings tuned EADG. But extended-range models with five (BEADG) or six strings (BEADGC) are available too, as are 8 and 12 string models (based off the idea of 12 string guitars).

A high-end maker of acoustic guitars, established in 1974 by Bob Taylor. All of their guitars are hand crafted and sound like a combination of beauty, richness, and sexiness that were somehow mixed together, bottled up, and opened at the top of Mount Everest.
Friend: Dude, did you know someone stole your car?
Me: Oh. That's ok. I can walk.
Friend: Oh and I thought I saw a scratch on your Taylor Guitar.
Me: *drops to knees* NOOOOOOOOO!!!!
