I have to confess
My wife bought me bass lessons for xmas, but I swapped them for... cello lessons. Three weeks in and I love it so far. Bass is unloved in the corner. So I'm now hiring a cello, when I got it out my wife said "oh, I thought it would be bigger than that"  yea, not for the first time.
possible name change to jacqueline4string or YoYo4string on the horizon.

I really fancy taking up either Cello or Double Bass at some point. No shame in playing another instrument more, i have to admit, ive been playing guitar quite alot more than bass recently

You're not an imposter. You are a TRAITOR! Off with your head! 
Nah, the cello is a really cool instrument. I wish I had the patience to learn how to play one. Good luck with it but don't forget your bass!
(Hmm, I think I'll go put on some Apocalyptica now.  ) |

That guy is a bassisit's dream. Focus. Technique. Feeling.
TONE.
It's still the Low End. Stick around and let us know how you make out.
And to paraphrase the DB Dragon League: GET A TEACHER!
Though you said you did.

My cello teacher was principal cellist for the Bournemouth Symphony. He's inspirational.

Cello, bass, sax, all good choices.

| | | | I used to play cello, then when I took up the bass, I found that I really was better than I thought I'd be, likely because of my previous experience with cello.

A girl in my dorm has one, I've played around with it enough that I can kinda get the intonation worked out and get a pleasing sound out of the thing. Still having difficulty coming to terms with tuning in fifths though.
