Abstract [en]

The goal with this project was to expand the traditional way of using and playing the electric bass. Playing the bass has traditionally meant laying down a musical foundation upon which other ensemble members can play from and with. This process included: use of effects in both discrete and obvious ways, experimenting with fingering and right-hand position, playing techniques and use of different instruments. These parameters were then incorporated into three new songs of which the composing process is described in this thesis. All three songs made the player pushing the limits in terms of timing, accuracy and sound from a traditional bass player point of view.  

Conclusions were then made regarding new ways of playing, treating and viewing the electric bass. A new way of viewing the electric bass as an acoustic instrument, the use of effects as subtle sound enhancers and the need of good craftsmanship to maintain solid feel when playing technically demanding music.
