Upright learning technique???

[pal1972]

Ive just decided to go for an EDB and won a rather nice pace one off ebay!!! I used to play double bass when i was at school (20+yrs ago!!!) and only a little, and havent seen or touched one since!!! any advice on re-learning to play one???

The Pace is a nice little bass but,for me,as it only has a 35" scale it is more
like playing a vertical fretless than an upright. It doesn't require you to
use legit upright fingering due to the short scale. You should be able
to transfer some of your Bass guitar technique to the Pace,just in an
upright position.That's what I found anyway. IMHO of course.
