"Hollow body" is one possible type of eletric guitar or bass. The other two being "semi-hollow" or "solid". As a hollow body the Electric Guitar or bass resembles the acoustic guitar most closely and the early electric Guitars used this method of constructions, but were soon replaced with solid constructions, since those are less prone to feeback and the hollow body is no longer required to produce the sound of the instrument. It doesn't rely on the wooden sounding body anymore, but the vibration is detected directly at the chord, electrically transmitted and then amplified outside of the actual instrument. In sum a hollow body base can be used for all the same purposes as a solid Bass Guitar. Only handling may differ slightly.
