Hollow Body vs. Semi-Hollow vs. regular basses

I'm sure this is a noob question, but I'm going to be buying my first bass in the near future and I was wondering what the benefits of each type of these is. Are the different types geared towards specific styles of playing or could each one be used for pretty much anything, depending on what particular bass you buy?
