Good beginner bass

[Quilly]

Electric bass guitarist here wanting to stick my toe in the water of upright bass playing . In your opinion should I get an electric EUB or an acoustic. , what are your opinions on the entry level ones on Thomann ? Are they thrash ? I don’t want to spend too much money considering I’ll be primarily playing a bass guitar.

Personally, if you want to play double bass, then buy one. If you want to play EUB, then buy one. They’re different instruments really.

 

Dont buy one new, buy a used one (preferably from someone here) that has been set up and comes with the essentials (like a case).

 

The Thomann ones are fine (I’m selling one cheaply) but if you can spend a bit more something like a Boosey & Hawkes Artia bass is probably a better buy.
