What Types of Basses are there and what are they like?

[Demanic]

Another thing that works for guitar that works for bass is assessing what pickup layout the bass has. That's why a stringray has such an aggressive thud - it has a fat humbucker in the bridge.

My Ibanez has fat humbuckers in both positions.

A big thing to consider is also the eq circuits. Passive versus active makes a huge difference, and there are some weird differences as well. Like you'd think the difference between a 3-band and 2-band Stingray would be the addition of a mid knob, but they also shift the corner frequencies of the filters around on the other two knobs.
