Not usually. Traditionally, string quartets are composed of two violins, a viola, and a cello. However, there are some compositions that require a double bass in replacement for one of those instruments.
Usually EADG but some double basses have five strings with the lowest being a B. Other four string basses have something called a low C-extension, this means that the lowest string is no longer an E but a C.
The Double Bass is the largest, and lowest pitched, instrument in the orchestral family of string instruments. It is played by using a bow, also known as arco, or plucking the strings, known as pizzicato.
The Double Bass is a transposing instrument and plays notes an octave lower than they are written. It is tuned in fourths, rather than fifths like other stringed instruments, and the names of the strings are, from lowest to highest, E, A, D and G.
i would say the cello since an actual bass doesnt typically play in a string quartet it usually either 2 violin a viola and cello or 3 violin and a cello :) hope i helped

The double bass is the lowest part in the string section of a symphony orchestra. It is usually the lowest part in chamber orchestras as well, if there is no double-bass the lowest part will be played by the cellos. (Do not confuse this with a basso-continuo, which is a harpsichord part in Baroque era (1600-1750) music.)
The double bass, also called the contrabass.
it was during the 16th and 17th century
