Double Bass My new bass.

You guys are awesome! Thanks for the positivity and warm words. It's easy to get locked up in technicalities, I think, but we're all musicians for a reason, and we all gravitated to a "background instrument" for reasons even more evocative. Cheers to the bass community.
 
Music in the family is a wonderful thing. My paternal grandfather played the piano for silent movies as a teenager and is who I always think of when I feel that connection of being a musician across time. Congratulations to you for your choice - let's hope we see a YouTube of you playing in the future.
