**Nonsense. The lowest useful frequency from a bass
guitar is higher than 80Hz. Almost no fundamental is
audible. It's all second harmonic.

Written by someone who has obviously never actually analyzed the signal that
comes out of a pickup from a bass guitar.

The fundamentals can be there if you don't lose them along the way.

I do suspect that few bass guitar amps are actually competent reproducers of
the region 32 Hz, which is approximately the fundamental of the lowest note
playable on a 5-string bass guitar.
