FOr all my fellow bassists out there....

Amen, brother!! I play the upright, and there ain't nothing easy about it! It wears me out playing it sometimes, its such an interactive insturment, but I wouldn't have it any other way!! Geof

I started on Cello in 4th grad and moved to upright in 8th grade, I started playing electric bass, some time in the middle of that.

You're right, Double bass is a full body work out.! lol
