Are the string bass and the double bass the same?
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.

Generally speaking, yes. The strings on a bass are longer than those on the nearest contender, the cello. They also tend to be thicker, because they are often made of different material. When cello and bass strings are made of the same materials, using the same processes, the G (top) string of the bass may be the same or smaller thickness as the C (lowest) string of the 'cello. But then, the bass continues down four more strings!

Can you mix strings of different gauge sets on your bass guitar?
Yes, I do it all the time. I can't quite set up my pickup to process the higher frequencies properly, so the low E string tends to dominate the amplification. I have even put a 5 string set low B where the low E usually goes. Don't worry about your neck, thicker strings actually have less tension. Kevlarster Almost every double bass has four strings. But sometimes you will find a fifth lower string on a few double basses(this fifth string is much more common on bass guitars). Instead of the fifth string most orchestral bassists opt to get what is called an extension. An extension is a piece of wood built onto the top of the bass and extends the length of the string another four notes lower. With a longer then normal fourth string you can now play almost as low as a five string bass. Composers like these lower notes because they allow a bassist to play a full octave below the cello and it sounds cool too!
