Jazz and R&B are good for plucking. I've seen some folk artists use upright plucking too. Upright bass plucking is good for songs that aren't too heavy and have a relaxed feel.

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.
