Lefty.
I got my first electric bass and started playing in 1988. Got my first double bass in 1993 and sold my slab soon after. I quit my day job in 2003 and I'm now enjoying the luxury of being a full-time bass player. In 2008 I felt like playing the electric bass again, so I'm now officially a doubler. ;-)
Double basses:
Hybrid New Standard Cleveland #249 w/ gut strings
Hybrid New Standard Cleveland #393 w/ Spirocores
Framus Triumph EURB w/ Jargar strings and a big chunk of foam wedged behind the strings (for afro-cuban/salsa music).
Electric basses:
Fender Precision CIJ '62 reissue - LaBella 0760M
Sire Marcus Miller J 5 string - Chromes
Augagneur & Bergeron unsigned pernambuco french bow, Yita german bow, black hair, soft Oak rosin.
On double bass, I play mostly unamplified gigs. I don't use pickups, I use a mic when recessary (Sennheiser 906 or Ovid mic)
On electric, Ampeg Micro-VR + 210AV, Markbass CMD 121P + NY121, Avalon U5, VT Bass Deluxe
