Best Answer

Double bass, also known as the upright bass, string bass, or contrabass, is used in orchestras and is the lowest pitched string instrument in an orchestra. It is played upright, while it is resting on the ground as the neck (the part where you place your fingers) extends past the head. It is tuned in fourths unlike the violin, which is tuned in fifths, and is used for numerous genres not only for classical, but for jazz, bluegrass, blues, and more.

What hardstyle song has the hardest bass?

Almost every hardstyle track has a decent bass kick. So the loudness of the bass will depend more on how the frequencies are equalized, then on the song itself. With an equalizer, you can make the low frequencies of sound (the bass) sound louder, so this way you can make the bass harder. When you do this, it's important to have a good sound system that can handle more electrical power. Small computer boxes will make cracking sounds when they have to play a hard bass.
