I agree with the previous answer of the difference
between bass and baritone as more tone than range,
although baritones almost always have a few more
higher notes and true basses a few more lower.
Baritones have more of a "ping" to their voice in the
upper register and basses rumble in the lower. This
is just my humble opinion. Take it for whatever it's
worth.
