4 Strings on a Double Bass
The double bass is much like the string bass, but it is also known as an upright bass, and commonly used in symphonies. It can be played with fingers, (pizzicato) but is usually played with a bow, like a violin. It looks like a big violin, and is played with the bottom of it, (opposite of where you tune the strings) at your feet, and the top around where your head is, while you are sitting down.

The main difference between a double bass and an electric double bass is the way they produce sound. A double bass is an acoustic instrument that produces sound through the vibration of its strings and resonance of its wooden body. An electric double bass, on the other hand, uses electronic pickups to convert the vibrations of the strings into electrical signals, which are then amplified through speakers. This allows the electric double bass to produce a louder sound and be easily heard in amplified settings, such as concerts or recordings.
