Gone and ordered myself a DB

Morning all,

A while back I had a gear4music DB, it was cheap but it served it's purpose and got me into playing an upright (much more so than a Dean Pace did years ago). Although many knock these entry level instruments, it met my needs and I was happy with it. Then due to circumstances I moved it on to a BCer and that was that.

Yesterday, after months of seeing signs that I "need" to get back into upright playing, I ordered an upright. In fact, one that was discussed in a thread recently. It's one of the ones from Thomann, only their cheapest one as its all I can afford and can justify spending at the moment. They've offered to set it up for me, I'm going to stick a set of rotosounds on it when it arrives and once I'm used to playing one again, a pickup will be added.

I cannot wait for its arrival and it cannot come quick enough.

Cheers,

James

You'll love it. And you'll get a good service from Thomann, by all accounts.

Have a ball;. :)

I genuinely cannot wait. Last time I owned an upright I loved it. I've heard good things about Thomann and so far they've emailed me constantly about what I'd like done. It just needs to arrive now and I'll be off.

Don't panic, I've read enough advice threads and searched the MU for local ones

I never panic, me :)

Just keen for you to have the most fun possible, and I know from hard experience that going it alone can be frustrating/painful in the extreme...

Last time I owned one I got on fine and was eager to dive straight in. This time round I want to really focus on technique and have been watching a few videos on discoverdoublebass. The main thing I've got to remember is not to collapse my thumb as I can see me struggling with that one. Can't wait and Monday can't come quick enough...just hope the sound post is fine.
