BASS ... A guitar is a stringed musical instrument played with the fingers or a plectrum (guitar pick). The sound is produced by vibrating strings. Guitars have a body (which is hollow for acoustic guitars, and solid for most electric guitars) and a neck or fingerboard.

The bass guitar is similar to the electric guitar, but larger in size and with a lower range. It is also closely related to—and inspired by—the double bass, and shares things in common with a range of bass instruments.

The double bass is the largest and lowest-tuned member of the violin family of string instruments, which includes the violin, viola, and cello.
