How is a bass guitar made?

this is a debatable question. because firstly, the bass guitar is just utilizing the E A D and G strings of a regular guitar except for the fact that they are tuned an octave lower so the question isn't really who invented the "bass" but really who pioneered the idea. in a different universe entirely theres the upright bass which is not only fretless but like its name states it stands upright and the upright bass has been used for many years. research it in musical history books and decide for yourself. hope this helps - Kyse


Does the ukulele have the same four strings as the bass guitar?

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.
