Welcome to the world of bass. As has already been said - try as many as you can... they can differ so much from one another, and the same models can even play very differently when set up in a different way (or not properly).

Welcome. Enjoy the low end of music 😀

Hi @zhillera I started playing in the early 80's. Didn't play that long, and had an absence of nearly 25 years. So I know what that's like.... funnily enough, i enjoy it even more than i did back then. I'm with you on the varied taste too. I like a bit of classical, was into rock, then developed a liking for punk, ska & reggae, and these days I like folk & world music. Yes, playing upright bass is more physical than you might think. I've tried convincing a DB player to try Uke Bass rather than give up. I don't think I'd manage without playing at all 😱 Welcome to BC, and welcome back to the world of Bass. Hello from South Wales
