 Bass guitar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The instrument is a descendant of the double bass (a cousin of the violin and viola da gamba) and shares design attributes of the electric guitar and features in common with a range of other bass instruments.
The electric bass is the standard bass instrument in many musical genres, including country, jazz, many flavors of rock and roll, soul, funk, and modern orchestral music.
Bass Guitar refers to an electric or acoustic stringed instrument with a similar appearance to the guitar, but with a larger body, commonly 4 strings, longer scale neck and tuned an octave lower in pitch than a guitar.

 Encyclopedia of Musical Instruments [Illustrated] -Bass drum -
It is used in orchestral music, marching music, and throughout 20th century popular music as a component of the drum set.
A basic beat for rock and roll has the bass drum played on the first and third beats of a bar of common time, with the snare drum on the second and fourth "back beats".
Skilled bass drum lines can execute complex linear passages so convincingly that it sounds like the entire bass drum part is being played by a single musician.

 BASSIC INSTINCT
In the context of pop music, bass instruments tend either to be synthesizers or bass guitars, and in both cases choosing an appropriate sound at source is just as important as the recording technique itself.
For example, a typical pop bass today is much clearer sounding than it was in the 60s or 70s, but it will still be designed to sit in the background, driving the song along rather than striving for the listener's attention.
It is the wooden panels of the front of the instrument which radiate most of the sound, so experimenting with the proximity and angling of the mic can have a significant effect on the sound quality.

 Royal Institution Lecture in Acoustics
At bass frequencies, the sound in the room is dominated by resonances in the room.
So as you move around a small room listening to a bass music note, there will be places of high pressure, where a particular note (or pitch) will sound loud, and places of low pressure, where the music will sound quiet.
Nowadays, modern music has a very loud bass sound, and so the correct treatment of sound at low frequencies is becoming more important.

As this was a stringed instrument and that the name resembles closely that of the guitar, historians tend to assume that this was a guitar.
Through rigorous study, it becomes obvious that the guitar is not an ancient musical instrument.
The lute, this instrument favoured by troubadours of the dark ages and the renaissance, more closely resembles a modern bass than a guitar.

When used as speaker stands they effectively decouple the speaker cabinet from the floor, in addition to their bass trapping.
Unfortunately, the intrusive appearance of most bass traps has been a big impediment to their acceptance, especially when a bedroom or living room does double duty as a home studio.
Effective bass traps are of necessity large, which makes them difficult to hide.
