I'm just about to try and and hopefully buy a double bass for the first time but i need some pickups for it. Is there any advice anyone can give as to what pickups to buy and where to buy them from? Price isn't really an problem, i just want some decent pickups that will sound good! Any advice would be hugely appreciated! Thanks fellow bassers!

Hi Everyone! Right, i need some advice about double basses. I've been playing electric bass for 6/7 years and want to learn double bass, but i need some advice before i make the leap. Firstly, can anyone recommend any good starter double basses, any specific size, strings, bows, that kind of thing and also where to buy them, any good shops or safe online sites. Second, any exercises or books that people could recommend that will be good to make the transition easier. Any advice from anyone would be muchly appreciated! Thanks!
