New bass day…and a massive leap

So this year I hit the half century and although I have played electric bass for 36 years. I have never really played upright…my fiancé and I decided this year should be the time.
 

So I made my way to the junkyard bought this beauty of a 4/4 Zeller from @Happy Jack as well as spending a delightful couple of hours hearing great stories and learning the first fledgling steps of upright bass playing. 

 

it’s been great so far, totally different instrument with its own feel and approach and I love it. So glad I’ve finally started this journey.

Thanks Burns-bass, i did allot of reading and research before i jumped in.  The biggest bits of advice were get a second hand bass from someone who plays and get at least one lesson to start you off.  Happy Jack was able to supply both.  I will probably look for more lessons but not had much luck getting responses so far.

 

Cant wait to gig...may have one in the pipeline already...it took two days of telling people I had it :)

All excellent advice.

 

The “Discover Double Bass” intro lessons are truly fantastic.
