FUNKY FOOL, since you're in the Huntington Area, why don't your drive down to Lemur Music (
www.lemur-music.com). It's not that far from where you live, just look on their site for the location. You should only be So S SO SOOOOOOOO lucky to live so close to such a great resource.
Go down there, look at all their stuff. Better yet, play all the basses you can so you can make an educated decision on what to get since yer still shoppin' 'n lernin'. And best of all, you can ask the staff there for info on teachers near where you live. They're BOUND to know someone in the area. Bada-bing-bada-boom!
You lucky dog!!!!
