---- no, but you have to be a real good musician for something like that. I guess it would be something like a fretless bass. They sounds badass...

This is HMT Chris. Make a washtub bass. Find washbin, broom handle and a piece of rope. You'd be surprised that it can actually sound pretty damn good and cool.
Electric style

i have always wanted to try a stand-up bass. i have a fretless bass and when i play on a regular basis, i can play that so i would assume the stand-up is sorta similar. me and the woman bought a cello, i thought it would be easier than it is, but its pretty tough

Im willing too learn. Music for me I know is something I will continue to play/enjoy to the fullest till the day I die so if it takes me till Im an old man to get down on it Im cool with that.

Do you play with your pinky? The upright is cool especially if you're into playing blues/jazz.

I'd say go to your local school and see if they're selling any of their old ones.

I play. What do you want to know? Check local music shops, not catalogs.

Any brands that are affordable and quality? What is a good price for an entry level unit?
