Best Answer

The physical fatures of a bass consist of the body (main part) the neck (where the frets are) and the head (the small shape on top of the neck), upon which are machine heads, used to tune the bass (these are the knobs coming off the side. Back down to the body and there is the pick-guard which is usually made of plastic. There are aslo the pickups which carry the sound to the jack- which is where you plug in the amp lead.

The musical fautures is a different question. The bass has a low sound and is used in bands to help keep the rythym, working very closely with the drummer. Whilst the Guitarists go showing off the bass is responsible for keeping the beat and the key in tact and ties it all together. The bass has a beuatiful tone and although it is used for solos it isn;t really a "show off" instrument, but an essential and tbh brillinat one.
