Without getting into a huge debate,
I'm kinda sure that the bass is "descended" from the double bass, so isn't technically a guitar.
Really, really pedantic, sorry :p

irrelevant
it is tuned the same as a guitar (albeit with different number of strings) and is held in a very similar way.

ignoring terminology it is a guitar in a bass range. thus, a bass guitar.

My TwoPennies worth
A Bass Guitar is a guitar that has been made to play the bass tones by giving it 4 much thicker strings and a longer neck. Its not descended from the double bass.
