    A small washtub bass being played. The washtub bass, or gutbucket, is a stringed instrument used in American folk music that uses a metal washtub as a resonator. Although it is possible for a washtub bass to have four or more strings and tuning pegs, traditional washtub basses have a single string whose pitch is adjusted by pushing or pulling on a staff or stick to change the tension.

  3. Double bass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_bass

    The history of the double bass is tightly coupled to the development of string technology, as it was the advent [6] of overwound gut strings, which first rendered the instrument more generally practicable, as wound or overwound strings attain low notes within a smaller overall string diameter than non-wound strings. [18]

    Gut strings are the natural choice for many classical and baroque string players, [6] and gut strings are still most commonly preferred in concert-tension pedal/grand and some lever harps because they give a richer, darker sound as well as withstanding high tension within low alto, tenor, and high-bass ranges. [6]

    The static forces acting on the bridge are large, and dependent on the tension in the strings: [35] 20 lb f (89 N) passes down through the bridge as a result of a tension in the strings of 50 lb f (220 N). [36] The string 'break' angle made by the string across the bridge affects the downward force, and is typically 13 to 15° to the horizontal ...

  9. Jazz bass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz_bass

    The bass guitar produces a different sound than the double bass, because its strings are usually stopped with the aid of metal frets. As well, bass guitars usually have a solid wood body, which means that the sound is produced by electronic amplification of the vibration of the strings.
