Job:
Usually to hold rythm, but also used for lead or freestyling. And to give music the important "oomph", "bomp", and "thump" sounds. It is by far the most important instrument in Funk specifically. If you like harder stuff, the bass pretty much puts the "heavy" in "heavy metal".
Purpose:
It is easier to hold and play than the double bass (upright bass).
You can freely move around as much as you want, wherever you want, if you want to. It's also easier to get just as crazy as any guitarist with it rather than it's upright counterpart
And that's basically its purpose of existing.
What else can I help you with?
