For a decent one from a mail order site, prices range from $300 to $500. Keep in mind you will need a case, bow and amp. In some cases, these will come bundled with the violin. Try Southwest Strings or Char Music. They have good models to choose from.

The key differences between an electric bass guitar and an electric bass violin are their shapes and playing techniques.

On the other hand, the electric bass violin has a violin-like shape and is played with a bow like a traditional violin.
Yes.
It depends on your electric violin. A hollow-body violin with an acoustic pickup (basically, a traditional violin with a microphone built into it) will make sound just like a standard acoustic violin. A solid-body electric violin will make sound without an amp...but unless you're the violin player, you won't hear it.
when was the electric violin invented? who invented the electric violin?
