What style is the string bass used for?

Answer 1

Almost every rock and metal band has a bass guitarist in it, so that's everything from prog rock to punk to black metal. Bass Guitarists are also often very prominent in many jazz fusion bands, often preferring the slapping technique over the standard fingering one. Some jazz fusion bands have two or three bassists.

Answer 2

Theres 3 main ways, slapping, fingering, and picking.

Slapping is when you take your thumb and strike the string at a 30 degree angle to create a more brutal, funky sound. This style can also be alternated with popping. Which is taking the index finger, grasping beneath the string and pulling. An example of a bassist that uses this style is Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers

Fingering is most common. Place you thumb on the edge of your pick-up or the end of your pick guard and put your index and middle finger on the side of the string and pull up. this is used by almost every bassist including Cliff Burton of Metallica.

And picking, shared by guitar, is simply striking the string with a pick. I recommend a thicker pick for bass. A bassist who uses a pick is Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy or Gene Simmons of KISS.

In concert band, usually the bass drum is on the same sheet as the snare drum, just at the bottom of the staff. in marching band, you would use separate lines for the 3-6 different bass drums (higher bass higher up on the staff).
