Hagebassenger

Hagebassenger is a term that refers to a type of bass guitar that is designed to be played with a pick, rather than a fingerpicking technique. The term is a portmanteau of "hage," a Swedish word for "to pick," and "bassenger," a term used to describe a bass player who plays with a pick. Hagebassenger guitars are typically larger and heavier than standard bass guitars, with a deeper, more resonant sound. They are often used in genres such as rock, metal, and punk, where a heavier, more aggressive sound is desired. Hagebassenger guitars are available in a variety of styles and configurations, including 4-string, 5-string, and 6-string models, as well as left-handed and right-handed versions. They are typically equipped with a variety of pickups and electronics, including active and passive configurations, to provide a wide range of tonal options. Hagebassenger guitars are often used by professional musicians and are available from a variety of manufacturers, both established and independent.
