Best Answer

If you are talking about Classical Music, i think that the cello is used more often rather than double bass, as the tonality of the double bass is too low to be heard. On the other hand, if you are talking in terms of Jazz Music, the double bass is used more often, as it helps to maintain the beat and the bassline of the music.

Is a cello and a bass the same instrument?

The short answer is no, but the two have some important connections. First, the bass guitar is pitched a full octave below the cello. The bass guitar is in the same pitch range as what is called the double bass, bass, or upright bass. Second, the standard tuning of the bass guitar is in fourths (Do to Fa) starting at E, while the standard tuning of the cello is in fifths (Do to So) starting at C. The lowest note on the Bass Guitar with standard tuning is The lowest note on Cello is the C at around 64 Hz , also called C below C below middle C. It's just off the bottom of the bass clef. Using standard tuning of a 4 string base, the bottom note is the same as that of a double bass. It's the E at about 41 Hz. But a 5 string bass has a now B at about 30 hz. Many bass players tune the bottom note lower to provide a deeper sound. Some tune the guitar exactly like cello, but sounding an octive lower.

No. Cello and Bass are different instruments and therefore they have their own methods of doing things. Bassists in general, for example, don't use the 3rd finger until after the octave harmonic point. The bow holds are slightly different as well. You also have to stretch further to get the same intervals between notes on the Double Bass.
