Yes somebody famous has played the double bass.
The main differences between a double bass and an electric bass are their size, sound, and playing technique. The double bass is larger and produces a deeper, more resonant sound, while the electric bass is smaller and produces a brighter, more amplified sound. Additionally, the double bass is played standing up with a bow or fingers, while the electric bass is typically played sitting down with a pick or fingers.

The double bass is said to belong to the violin family, and in general, wide terms, this is so. However, the viola and double bass have much more in common than either have with the violin, and if you find a recording of the bass being played in its highest ranges, it is easy to mistake it for a viola. So for general purposes, it can be said that the double bass is a member of the violin family, but it is really a member of the viola family.
i think like a rhythm guitar, lead guitar, bass guitar, and a drum kit complete with double bass
