There is the double bass, also known as the string bass and upright bass (to distinguish it from a Bass Guitar). It is the lowest string instrument.
The other instrument that commonly plays bass, or low, notes is the cello. It is somewhat higher in pitch than the bass but still is big enough that it has to sit on the floor, supported by an end pin.

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.
