There are two options: If you are talking about bass drum. . .
If you are talking about upright double bass, it can be plucked with the fingers, or bowed.
The Viola can play higher. Pitches of String Instruments from highest to lowest are: Violin Viola Cello Double Bass
Bass and also tenor clef.
Double Basses normally play in the Bass Clef. On the other hand, they sometimes use Tenor Clef and I have seen Treble clef used for higher notes but transposed an octave lower than written.
You can play any metallica song with even a 5-piece drumkit. What you need to play Metallica's songs properly is a double bass pedal or double bass drums.
Some drummers use a double bass pedal to get faster beats on the bass drum, one after another by alternating feet. It goes with playing different styles of music, typically metal.
You can play the Double Bass either arco. (which is with a bow) or pizzicato (which is plucking the strings).
Yes.
It's used to play the bass drum faster
I believe you mean to say "Does a double bass read from bass or treble clef?" The answer to that is bassists almost always read bass clef. But very good bassists that play very high read treble clef often and sometimes tenor clef.
It depends what you mean... i know what you mean by electric bass but what do you mean by "Bass" If you mean an upright bass/double bass like thishttp://shannonspositiveimages.com/images/UprightBass.jpgthen with a few minor adjustments with the way you play you can.. To play an upright bass you need to use your hands all the time instead of a pick.. so finger picking is a NEED. Watch some youtube videos..
Yes

Not commonly. For drum and bass its best to use a loud, distinctive style of bass, for exaple i play alot of pendulum and use a Yamaha RBX 270. other good basses doe drum and bass are ones with Humbucker pickups - such as a fender Jazz Bass, or Ibanez

Double Bassists generally use bass clef. However, they do also use tenor clef and sometimes treble for notes of higher pitches.
