Best Answer

Yes. It can also be played without a bow by plucking or slapping the strings.

There are some songs in which doesn't use a bow at all for a double bass. Other songs, though, will require that the bow be used the entire song. There are songs that encorporate both the bow and 'plucking' the strings. For tuning purposes, a bow is most likely to be used.
