The notes are all relatively in the same places, but the electric bass is on a much smaller scale and has frets, making fingerings generally easier. Also, Bass Guitar uses all four fingers independently (e.g. index on F, middle on Gb, ring on G, and pinky on Ab), while, because of the bigger scale, double bass only uses three fingers independently (e.g. index on F, middle on Gb, and pinky on G supported by ring finger)
What else can I help you with?

No--But the fingerings are very similiar. On bass, every finger is one half-step higher. On guitar this is true also, but there are different strings.
Is a cello and a bass the same instrument?
The short answer is no, but the two have some important connections. First, the bass guitar is pitched a full octave below the cello. The bass guitar is in the same pitch range as what is called the double bass, bass, or upright bass. Second, the standard tuning of the bass guitar is in fourths (Do to Fa) starting at E, while the standard tuning of the cello is in fifths (Do to So) starting at C. The lowest note on the Bass Guitar with standard tuning is The lowest note on Cello is the C at around 64 Hz , also called C below C below middle C. It's just off the bottom of the bass clef. Using standard tuning of a 4 string base, the bottom note is the same as that of a double bass. It's the E at about 41 Hz. But a 5 string bass has a now B at about 30 hz. Many bass players tune the bottom note lower to provide a deeper sound. Some tune the guitar exactly like cello, but sounding an octive lower.
Does a bass clarinet have the same fingerings as a normal clarinet?
Not exactly, bass clarinets have five keys at the bottom instead of four, but other than that I think it is the same.
Does a double bass have the biggest string?
Generally speaking, yes. The strings on a bass are longer than those on the nearest contender, the cello. They also tend to be thicker, because they are often made of different material. When cello and bass strings are made of the same materials, using the same processes, the G (top) string of the bass may be the same or smaller thickness as the C (lowest) string of the 'cello. But then, the bass continues down four more strings!
Is the cable for an electric guitar the same as a bass guitar?

Are the strings on the bass fiddle in the same order as the strings on a cello?
No. Bass is tuned in fourths, so going up you have E-A-D-G. Cello is tuned in fifths so you have C-G-D-A.
Are bass guitar notes the same as electric guitar notes?

Does the ukulele have the same four strings as the bass guitar?
The double bass is much like the string bass, but it is also known as an upright bass, and commonly used in symphonies. It can be played with fingers, (pizzicato) but is usually played with a bow, like a violin. It looks like a big violin, and is played with the bottom of it, (opposite of where you tune the strings) at your feet, and the top around where your head is, while you are sitting down.
What instrument family is the double bass?
It is a plucked, fretted, stringed electrophone. In other words, it has strings which are plucked; the strings are pressed down behind metal frets to determine pitch, and the instrument's sound is amplified electrically. Less technically, it is most closely related to the electric guitar, with some input from the orchestral double-bass, and it has acoustic ancestors including the Mando-bass, the Bass Banjo and the Contrabass Balalaika. The actual Acoustic Bass Guitar, however is a recent invention, dating from no earlier than the late 1960s.
