thumb|300px|left|Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen & Christian McBride perform "Bye-Bye Birdie"The bass, and bassists, may be the most under-appreciated part of any band by the general public.

Jazz bassists play both the Double Bass, an accoustic, stringed instrument which goes by a whole slew of nicknames like bass, string bass, upright bass, standup bass, acoustic bass, contrabass, contrabass violin, bass violin, bass viol, bass fiddle, bull fiddle, dog house bass, and even "coffin" bass.

Bassists also play the electric bass, which, like the electric guitar has pick-up leads from the strings which are amplified electronically.

Bassists, here is the list of all of those pros who have come before you. Click on the purple links (active) to see more about these bass players. Red links? Volunteer to put together the biography of that player!
