Hello everyone!
I am here to give this thread a revival (or a heart attack!)
Here is my new “contrabbasso elettrico”
I always wanted to play the double bass but like many people I had quickly found out that it takes a lot of space and costs a ton of money ( talking about 6-7 years ago before I had access to Thomann)
Recently I started studying Jazz and my instructor was accompanying me with his beautiful set of d-basses while we study the standards. He poisoned me I must say!
He told me there are indeed people who start learning music from zero up on the double bass so I should even have it easier making this switch!
I still cannot have an acoustic double bass since I cannot play at home before my children go to sleep I opted for an electric upright which has the same body shape as an acoustic.
I am loving the reverse tuning (machines are under the bridge) , the fact that I can hang it on the wall like that and how light it really is…
