How is the bass clarinet related to the normal clarinet in size and pitch?
The Bb bass clarinet sounds an octave lower than the Bb soprano clarinet and so is approximately double the length (following the curves of the neck and bell). Many bass clarinets have additional notes at the bottom of the instrument - some extending to a low C, compared to the the soprano's low Eb. Basses with extended range will be a bit longer - more than double the length of the soprano.
Can you replace your neck J bass pickup with a P bass pickup. How much would it cost?
It could be done, but it would involve routing the body and modifying/replacing the pickguard. If you do it yourself, it will cost the price of a pickup and a pickguard. If you hire it done, prices will vary.
Do you need a neck strap for a soprano saxophone?
The soprano is much like a clarinet in which you can or cannot have one. However they are a reasonable amount heavier than the clarinet so it would be suggested.
What is the difference between piccolo clarinet soprano clarinet basset clarinet basset horn alto clarinet bass clarinet contra-alto clarinet and contra-bass clarinet?
The "Piccolo Clarinets" are a any kind of clarinet smaller (and therefore higher pitched) than the Eb clarinet, the highest kind of soprano clarinet regularly used. The most commonly used piccolo clarinet (although none are common) is the Ab clarinet. Soprano Clarinet is another broad term: It is a subtype of the clarinet family including the Bb clarinet, by far the most common kind of clarinet. It also includes the A clarinet, the Eb clarinet, and the G clarinet (rarely used, except in Turkey). The basset clarinet is a clarinet similar to the usual soprano clarinet, most commonly in the key of A, but longer and with additional keys to enable playing several additional lower notes. The basset horn is larger and has a bend near the mouthpiece rather than an entirely straight body (older instruments are typically curved or bent in the middle), and while the clarinet is typically a transposing instrument in Bb­ or A (meaning a written C sounds as a Bb­ or A), the basset horn is typically in F (less often in G). The basset horn, weirdly enough, is not actually a horn. Bass Clarinets are another family of clarinets, these ones sounding lower than any of the previously mentioned. They are much larger and usually supported by a peg at the bottom (you'll notice the difference straight away, because generally a bass clarinet has a large, protruding bell and reaches the ground.) While variations on the typical key of Bb exist (Notably C and A), they are incredibly rare. The alto clarinet is usually pitched in the key of Eb­, though instruments in F (and in the 19th century, E) have been made. It is sometimes known (in Europe) as a tenor clarinet. In size it lies between the soprano clarinet and the bass clarinet, to which it bears a greater resemblance in that it typically has a straight body, but a curved neck and bell made of metal. All-metal alto clarinets also exist. In appearance it strongly resembles the basset horn, but usually differs in three respects: it is pitched a tone lower, it lacks an extended lower range, and it has a wider bore than most basset horns. The contrabass clarinet and contra-alto clarinet are the two largest members of the clarinet family that are in common usage. Modern contrabass clarinets are pitches in BBb, sounding two octaves lower than the common Bb soprano clarinet and one octave lower than the Bb­ bass clarinet. Some contrabass clarinet models have a range extending down to low (written) Eb, while others can play down to low D or further to low C. The contrabass clarinet is also sometimes known by the name pedal clarinet. Together these various types of clarinets make up the clarinet family. So, in size, from smallest to largest, they are: piccolo clarinets, alto clarinets, soprano clarinets, basset clarinets, basset horns, bass clarinets, contra-alto clarinets, contra-bass clarinets.
How long is a bass?
The usual length for the neck of a Bass Guitar is 34".
Is the Alto Clarinet smaller than the Bb Bass Clarinet?
Yes, the alto is smaller. They both have crooks in the neck just below the mouth piece somewhat like a sax. The Bb is heavy and quite a bit longer than an alto and rests on the ground between your feet during concert performances with the help of a stem stand. The alto is played along side the right leg.Since bass instruments are generally bigger than the original instruments, I would say yes. The bass clarinet is tall and big, and sort of shaped like a saxophone. The alto clarinet is the same thing, but smaller. And the regular Bb soprano clarinet is straight and usually plastic. They all use reeds (bigger the instrument, bigger the reed). There is plenty of information.

Does the Fender Jazz bass have a thinner neck than the P-bass and by how much?
