 Double bass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The name "double bass" may be derived from the double bass' size, since it is approximately twice as large as the cello, or because the double bass was originally used to double the cello part an octave lower.
Unlike the rest of the violin family, the double bass still reflects influence and can be considered partly derived from the viol family of instruments, in particular the violone, the bass member of the viol family.
The double bass also differs from members of the violin family in that the shoulders are (sometimes) sloped, the back is often angled (both to allow easier access to the instrument, particularly in the upper range) and machine heads are almost always used for tuning.

 Double bass
The double bass is a musical instrument, the largest and lowest-tuned member of the violin family of string instruments, which includes the violin, viola, and cello.
The double bass, unlike the rest of the violin family, is derived from the viol family of instruments.
Bass soloists are virtually unheard of, although a few pieces with prominent parts for the instrument have been written, including the Fantasy for Double bass and orchestra on a Theme by Rossini by Niccolo Paganini and a duo for cello and double bass by Gioachino Rossini himself.

 Bass Patterns
Unlike the other members of the violin family, the bass (or string bass, contrabass, double bass, bass viol, bass violin, bass fiddle...or whatever name you know it by) is not directly descended from the violin.
From the violin, the bass inherited its standard four strings, unfretted fingerboard, and some violin styles and methods of construction, as well as the French overhand bowing technique.
Basses are made with violin corners (pointed, flaring out from the body) or with gamba corners (square, not extending from the body).

 New Violin Family Association
The Treble Violin is included in many of the compositions written specifically for the Octet; one use is to add clarity and brilliance to the ensemble, especially playing on its upper strings in combination with the Soprano Violin.
Therefore, for Alto Violin it is customary to provide both a concert pitch part (in alto clef; same as you would write for viola) and a "'cello clef" transposed part (sounding a Perfect 8va higher than written with the part written the same as you would for violoncelli; i.e., primarily in bass clef).
In the 14th and 15th Centuries there were at least 6 or 7 members of the violin family, but with the exquisite development of the violin and the literature for string quartet in the 16th and 17th Centuries, the other instruments fell into disuse and are now in museums.

 HOW TO PLAY BASS FIDDLE BLUEGRASS STYLE
The bass fiddle is tuned the same way as a bass guitar or the same as the top four strings of a guitar.
Syncopating the bass is done very little because it can become over done very quickly; however, it can be very powerful in short segments and allow the bass player to really shine for a short time.
The difference between the bass guitar and the bass fiddle is that the imaginary frets on the bass fiddle are farther apart due the the strings being longer; about 8 inches total.

But the larger size hampered the extensive cultivation of violin style, and hence the soloistic possibilities of the instrument, since among other things it necessitated a larger reach for the fingers of the left hand than is presently required on the violoncello.
Its connection with the bass violin is suggested by two prints at the beginning and apparent end of its period of use.
The bass partbook of his opus 8 (1663b and 1671b) is labelled viola da brazzo, even though the violone is specified within for all sonate a tre, and for five sonatas for larger combinations.

 Violin Bass Bar   (Site not responding. Last check: )
It seems that in the best violin tops with split, well-chosen wood (lightin weight, strong and well graduated and tuned), the bass bar does notneed to be more than 270 mm in length.
Like Bill Fulton, who puts in smaller bass bars becauseof his very light weight and very strong tops, I’ve found that the qualityof the top plate predetermines the shape of the bar.
The bass bar only allows the maker to restore and retunethe plate to the original resonance before the "F" holes were cut.

It does mention the "violin bass" starting in 1974 and speculates that the "replicas" might have lasted thru '76, perhaps early '77.
I suspect that early seventies is a very accurate guess, since my bass also has one of those corny finger rests mounted on the pickguard.
