There are many types of bass who used to date. The most widely used form of contra bass and cello bass (which is used for opera performances), electric bass (commonly used for all types of performances, especially the band) and fretless bass, electric bass the same but no fret (column/ divider on the board press/ neck) on the bass. The working principle contra miripdengan fretless bass/ cello bass just shaped electric guitar.

* Four strings
Usually ditalakan to "GDAE", "GDAD", "GDGD", "DAEB", "FCGD" or "FCGC"

* Five strings
Usually ditalakan to "GDAEB" but sometimes "CGDAE".

* Six strings
Usually ditalakan to "CGDAEB" or "BGDAEB", although "EBGDAE" also like to use.

Tuning the above sorted by number of strings (strings 1, strings 2, and so on), where string 1 is the lowest of bass guitar strings (the thinnest string).
