Most musicians will agree that tone is the most important feature in an electric bass guitar. But stage presence is crucial as well, and matching your music maker to your own personal vibe can help to elevated your performance. This lineup of black electric basses offers a great starting point for narrowing down your search. If you want an axe as dark as midnight, you'll find it here from such renowned brands as Fender, Ibanez, Squier and many more. Not only does this huge range of bass axes sound fantastic, they're got the looks to match - so dive right in and see which black bass suits your personal style the best.

The electric bass is sometimes thought of as the foundation of a band as it establishes the beat. Whether you're investing in new bass or are picking one up for the first time, finding the right instrument is an important step in reaching your goals. Material is important as well, with most basses made from different types of wood in solid-body designs. For example, alder produces a clear, full sound while mahogany's tone is warm and smooth. Taking the time to investigate all the options in this section will be helpful in deciding which electric bass to choose.

With hundreds of black basses at your fingertips, narrowing your search may be easier if you consider your playing style and skill level. Rogue offers a number of terrific options for beginners, like the SX100B Series II Electric Bass with a split-coil pickup, volume controls and a smaller, lighter body for easier comfort and playability. Or if you've been performing for a while and want to upgrade your collection of axes, set your gaze on Fender's many offerings. For instance, the Deluxe P Bass Special 4-String Bass is a true beauty with a slimmer J neck, vintage noiseless pickups, active electronics and a deep jet black body.

These are just two examples among the hundreds of black electric basses in this section. From Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Green Day's Mike Dirnt to Paul McCartney of the Beatles, many musicians have rocked out with a bass over the years. If you're planning to follow in legendary footsteps like these or are playing to sold-out arenas night after night, you should be able to find a black electric bass guitar that meets your needs while providing a sleek, dramatic visual presence on stage.
