What is an instrument having a very low range?

The bass is the lowest-pitched string instrument in the guitar family. It is typically played with the fingers or a pick, and is often used to provide the low-end frequencies in a band or orchestra. Bass guitars come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but all have four or five strings. The most common type of bass is the electric bass, which is amplified and can be played through a variety of effects pedals and amplifiers.
