Can you tune an electric guitar to sound like a bass?
Yes but the strings would be like elastic bands and would be muddy to to the point of being almost unplayable. Yes because the 4 strings on the bass are an octave lower than the 3, 4, 5, and 6 strings on any guitar.
What types of bass guitar are there?
The original and most common bass guitar is the 4-string electric which speaks for itself, has 4 strings tuned E, A, D and G. Since then more variations have been created- such as the 5 string (which also has the lowers string of B) all the way up to a 12 string! but these are extremely uncommon. There are also acoustic which have the large hollow bodies, but again these are fairly uncommon, but very useful.

What is the difference between four and five string bass guitars?
Bass Guitars A four string bass has an open string arrangement consisting of E, A , D , and G (from thickest to thinnest). This is the standard bass arrangement. The five string bass also has the E, A, D, and G arrangement, but adds an extra low B string above the E. This allows for a broader reach in note pitch since you are allowed for extra notes with the B string. For instance, on a standard four string bass you would have to tune down the E string two frets to get the dropped D pitch. But with a five string bass, there is no need to tune your E string since the D can be played on the third fret of the newly added fifth string (the B string). This lower B is especially popular with the modern hard rock/thrash metal crowd, and some of the screamo bands. For many players, there is a struggle with the low-b being "sloppy", which can largely be corrected by using a longer scale neck (35" at a minimum) and/or a different brand or gauge of strings Standard four string bass: E A D G Five string bass: B E A D G Six string bass: B E A D G C NB: you can also, if you wish, instead of using the extra string for a low B, you can retune the first four strings into standard tuning, I.e, E-A-D-G, and have the highest string as a high C. This arrangement is used quite frequently by bassists who prefer tighter strings, and an extra range up high, as well as getting a deeper, more bass-y sound from the thicker E string.
How To Change a Guitar String?
Sometimes a seemingly simple task can be daunting. There are actually a significant number of steps to implement and a number of guidelines to follow when changing a guitar string. Here are the basics:When to Change the StringGuitar strings can be used until they break, but as professionals know, factors such as dirt, oil and heavy use can hinder the sound quality of a still usable string. Obviously, if a string has broken, you'll need a new one. Sometimes a string will no longer stay in tune and therefore must also be changed. Otherwise, when the string begins to sound dull and loses what musicians call brightness, it is time to change it.Decide Which Strings to ChangeNew guitar strings sound brighter and more alive. Some musicians and techs will change all six strings even if only one breaks. Others will merely switch out the broken string. If cost is an issue, you may choose to only replace a broken string.Determine the GaugeGuitar strings are made of different thicknesses or gauges. Thicker strings are believed by many musicians to sound "fatter," but they can be more difficult to play. Guitars come from the factory with the strings the manufacturer feels are appropriate for the guitar. In the beginning, it's a good idea to stick with the gauge the factory has used. If your guitar is older and you don't know the string gauge, take it to a music store where this can be easily determined.Unwind, Change and RewindFirst, find the tuning peg on the headstock of the guitar. Next, unwind it until the string loosens. Untwist the limp string from the tuning peg. Now the string should only be connected to the bridge, which is toward the bottom of the guitar. The string will be attached to the bridge by a little metal cylinder or ball. Push this ball through the bridge to remove the string. Now thread the new string through the bridge. Stretch it the length of the guitar neck and thread it through the tuning peg on the headstock. Make a 90 degree kink in the string at the peg to hold it in place and start to rewind it until the string is in tune.Make sure that each string is wound around the tuning peg at least five times. This will help keep the string from going out of tune.
