EUBs are used in a wide range of styles of music, from jazz fusion and jazz to Cuban music and rock music. While four string EUBs are most common, using the same E,A,D,G tuning (from lowest to highest-pitched strings) as the double bass and bass guitar, 5-, 6, 7- and 8-string models are also available (though instruments other than four or five strings are uncommon). Like the double bass, most EUBs can be plucked (“pizzicato”) or bowed. For a EUB to be bowed, it must have a curved bridge, so that the bow can be used on all of the individual strings
