Hi there,
I'm thinking of getting a double bass again at the age of 60 - for practice at home mostly at the moment. I learned the upright a little bit as a kid and had an electric bass for a while as a young man and had a few lessons (with Andy Crowdy!) before I gave up through laziness. I'd like to play jazz and a maybe a bit of folk. I've been looking on Gumtree and am wondering about an EUB such as this:

Or there's this 3/4 1940s Italian job:

Or this cheaper Gear4 Music 3/4 one:
https://www.gumtree.com/p/double-bass/3-4-double-bass-with-french-bow-stand-soft-case-and-scores/1411894555
I'm a complete newbie and not that musical so would appreciate any advice anyone has.
Many thanks, Simon.
