The term 'bass' is used widely in (and before) the baroque music, far before the double bass existed. It originates from the same roots as the word 'base' does, and it means 'basic part'. It used to be written with chord-numberings very often (which maked it a 'basso continuo', a numbered bass) so it could be played on a harpsichord. A double bass is called 'double' because it actually does not play the notes that are written in its part, but it plays them one octave lower.

Well, if we look at the jazz-scene, it is kind of unusual though to use a cello as a bass instrument in a. These guys however do exactly know how to do this, and I think that makes it really cool. What people might not realize is that the violins normally play higher parts than for instance a saxophone, which makes it more suitable for a cello player to "play the bass".

I appreciate that use of "bass" is confusing. In baroque times, the cello was the bass. If the orchestra had a contrabass, it doubled the cellos and octave lower, hence the term "double bass" for the big bass violin. The big bass is much stronger than the cello as the bass instrument, but, as in a string quartet, the cello serves the bass function and can sing as well.
