What stringed instrument is the Electric Bass Guitar similar to?
The electric bass is tuned EADG, the same as the instrument it developed from, the double bass, which is also the same as the first four strings of a guitar, but an octave lower. The mandolin also shares the same tuning, but in a much higher register. [Not true - the mandolin is tuned in fifths (GDAE from low to high) like a violin, whereas the electric bass guitar and double-bass are tuned in fourths.]

What is the cousin to the guitar?
the mandolin family is much like that of the violin; There is the mandolin, the highest pitched in the family The Mandola, lower than the mandolin and tuned the same a a viola The Mandocello, as the name suggest similar to a cello tuning A mando- bass which is, again obvious, much like a double bass. There is also the octave-mandolin which is tuned exactly the same as a mandolin, just and octave lower. There is also, arguable, the Irish Bouzouki which is derived from a greek bouzuki as a pose to the lute (which the other mandolins are derived from). However, it has a flat back and is tuned in fifths so many now see it as another branch of the mandolin family.

A mandolin is a lute-like instrument, played like a guitar: http://www.answers.com/topic/mandolin?cat=entertainment A violin is a stringed instrument, played with a bow: http://www.answers.com/topic/violin?cat=entertainment However, just as there are four members of the violin family - the violin, viola, cello/violoncello and double bass, there are four basic members of the mandolin family which bear some relation to the violin family's relationships. These are as follows: * mandolin, with a range similar to that of the violin * mandola or tenor mandola, tuned to a fifth below the mandolin, meaning it has the same relationship as a viola to a violin * mandocello or mandolin cello * mando-bass, which is tuned like a double bass There are also several other mandolins in the mandolin family, such as the octave mandolin, the piccolo or sopranino mandolin, and several other variants of the mandolin from other countries.
