Yes, in referring to stringed instruments "double bass" is just another way to say "upright bass".
However, the phrase "double bass" is also frequently used by percussionists to refer to a drum set which has two kick drums.

∙ 14y agoNo. Not at all. Upright basses are much bigger. An upright bass is as tall as an average full-grown person while a cello is as tall as a small child. Cellos can also fit between the legs of the player very well while basses are much wider.

Which is the largest out of the violin viola cello and bass?
Truthfully I would say that bass is the best instrument. That is if you are looking for a challenge. It is a very large instrument with a large range of notes that can range from a low E (or B if you have a extension or five string bass) to a high G or D. If you want a beautiful instrument you can play cello or violin. But unless you are amazing at either of those instruments you are not going to get very far. There is much less competition if you play bass. This is a completely biased opinion. I hope your instrument searching goes well!
