The Bass Guitar looks like an ordinary Electric Guitar except it has a longer neck and only four strings (5 or 6 string versions are available). The bass has only 20 frets but the neck is longer as the frets are each longer than that of the electric guitar. It is possible to get a fretless bass guitar aswell which allows for a smoother tone and sounds alot better in jazz style music.
A Double Bass looks like a Cello only alot bigger. Generally played standing up from behind the instrument, it is far less common than the electric bass but, unfortunately, far more expensive.
