They're completely different.
The violin is a melody instrument that often plays a solo part.
The thorough bass is more usually called the "basso continuo," or "continuo" for short. It consists of an instrument, and usually two instruments, that play the bass line and the harmony. The expression is used in baroque music.
The continuo is typically a cello or viola da gamba, which plays the bass line, and a harpsichord, which plays the bass line and harmony. The continuo may also be played on a small organ, theorbo, lute, harp, double bass or violone.
Thus a Handel sonata for violin will be played by a violin on the solo part, with cello and harpsichord as the continuo group.
