Hiya do!

Hi all,

First post intro-- I'm a (nylon string) guitar player considering learning upright but anxious about one thing: is it possible to pluck upright bass strings with the proper technique while having long fingernails on the right hand, say, 3-4 mm? I've watched videos where it seems possible.. so thinking of starting with an EUB first just so it's easier to resell if the nail issue doesn't work out.

Thanks!
