What double bass bow style should I get?
It's all personal preference. A German bow is held differently, and is less common, held with your palm perpendicular to the strings. A French bow, in some circles, is considered more professional, and is held by pinching with your thumb and forefinger and spreading your other fingers. You will get sound quality depending on the quality of the bow, strings, and pressure you exert on the strings. A quality German bow should not sound different than a quality French bow however.
What is the difference between a double bass and a cello?
No. Cello and Bass are different instruments and therefore they have their own methods of doing things.
Bassists in general, for example, don't use the 3rd finger until after the octave harmonic point. The bow holds are slightly different as well. You also have to stretch further to get the same intervals between notes on the Double Bass.

Can anyone give me Mario theme song sheet music for double bass?
It seems to be harder to find this then it used to be. The Mario Bros overworld theme song is by koji kondo.=The best way to get any sheet music from video games is to download a Midi file of the music from any of the hundreds of thousands of video game midi music sites and then open it up in any version of Finale(or any other music writing program). It should pop up and then you can arrange it appropriately for double bass or double bass duo.==But that's a lot of confusing work. A few years about I found sheet music on the net written out for piano and a friend and I played the melody and bass line as a duet. It's not easy but you can do it.==If you really want it and can't find it, send me a message and I'll try to help further. =

What is the full name for a double bass?
Its official name is the bass viol, although it is seldom referred to as such. It is actually of a different type than the rest of the string instruments (violin, viola, and cello)- it is part of the older group of instruments called viols. The viols were popular during the renaissance, and featured sloped shoulders and different shaped resonance holes (F holes) than the violin family. Viols came in all different sizes, and the smaller ones eventually evolved into the violin family. For some reason, however, the bass never came along with the rest of them, and has remained in the old style.
Another name for the bass is the contrabass.
Is the double bass referred to as the Grandfather?
In the narration for Benjamin Britten's orchestral work 'Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra', yes.

"The DOUBLEBASSES are the grandfathers of the String family, with heavy grumbling voices".
Before the playing of the Bass variation (Variation H).
However, I don't think the Bass is referred to the Grandfather- or at least not as commonly- outside this setting.
