Hi, I'm going to try and learn to play bass guitar, mainly for theory and jazz purposes. I'm already pretty proficient on double bass when it comes to orchestral technique if I do say so myself, but I know I'm entering a whole new realm with the bass guitar.
I'm mainly looking for general advice from anyone on here, but especially those who started on the string bass before moving to bg.
Questions:
-What's the difference between the standard left-hand positioning on the db vs. bg?
-Are there any good method/etude books for the instrument, specifically for a 5-stringed bg?
And any general tips and advice you guys have would help tremendously.
