Someone referring to a "bass" instrument may mean a bass guitar (electric or acoustic) from the guitar family. This instrument is typically used in rock music. It is held in the arms, generally supported by a strap over the shoulder, and is played with the fingers.

They also may mean the double bass, from the viol family. This instrument is employed in Classical music and Jazz. It sometimes is called a "string bass." It rests on the floor with a small metal "foot" and is held upright by the musician, who plays it either with a bow or with the fingers.
