But..even so..

The first bass guitar was invented by Paul Tutmarc in the early 1930's. The modern electric bass guitar was invented by Leo Fender. However, there were at least five other prototypes resembling the well-known design of the modern bass, each created well before Fender introduced the world to the Precision bass in 1951.
When people get all hot and excited over an artist, they say all types of stuff like "He invented or re-invented...." For example, Jim Morrison re-invented singing.
