In the 1970s, a variant form of keyboard bass, bass pedals, became popular. Bass pedals which are pedal keyboards operated by musicians using their feet. The guitar player or bass player of a bands such as Genesis' Mike Rutherford, Yes' Chris Squire, John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin during acoustic sets, Rush (bassist Geddy Lee), The Police (bassist Sting), Marillion (Pete Trewavas) or Atomic Rooster (organist Vincent Crane) use the bass pedals to play bass lines. Stevie Wonder pioneered the use of synthesizer keyboard bass, notably on Boogie on Reggae Woman. During these decades the keyboard bass in its original form was still in use by some bands such as the B-52's, who used a Korg SB-100 Synth-Bass .
In the 1990s and 2000s, 25-note MIDI keyboard controllers are used to play the basslines in some pop groups. Keyboard bass instruments are a common alternative to bass guitars in rap, modern R&B, and in electronic dance music such as house music. As well, bassists from bands such as No Doubt sometimes perform basslines on 25-note MIDI keyboards. Jack White of The White Stripes uses a vintage Rhodes Piano Bass live, particularly on performances of My Doorbell.
