My first time handling a DB, there were four surprises:
(1) How heavy the instrument was. It was like trying to wrestle a coffee table on end;
(2) The thickness of the strings. Even the G2 string felt like aircraft cable;
(3) The space between the strings. I could have lost my whole hand in there;
(4) How hard I had to work to get any volume out of it. I thought I was going to have to get violent.
Other than those little things, it's a piece of cake. Assuming your BG was fretless. And you bowed it. No, not really that much different.
