Bass – Modal Jazz Bass Gear
Modal jazz brought space, exploration, and harmonic openness to the forefront — giving the bass a more melodic and improvisational role. In this style, the bassist must move fluidly through sustained grooves, drone-like passages, and subtly shifting tonal centers. These instruments are chosen for their clarity, tonal range, and ability to support expressive, modal interplay with nuance and depth.
