Hey all, So I'm stuck in this predicament.... Any opinions are welcome... I have always been a die hard electric player. I started playing my junior year of highschool. I graduated with a degree in composition and I am now in the process of working on my masters in jazz performance on electric bass ( only strictly electric player in the school).. Here a few of my concerns ... 1) being a bit over my head... School is hard. Being the youngest in the program probably with the smallest amount of "jazz"experience.. Tunes,piano, chops, harmonic understanding... 2)getting my ears together to gain a sense of freedom. Hearing intervals , melodies, harmony... 3) overall confidence 4) the big one ....why I started this thread..... Should I double ?!?! Should I learn and make the upright thing happen. I've played it a little bit... Never seriously and always just noodling on someone's bass . Every upright player always says "you have a great sound" this new motivation is from a clinic Ray Drummond gave at my school last week.... And he turned and said I have a good sound when I was just noodling on my buddies bass. Also my buddy at school has been playing upright for about a year and grew so much an was killing it . He was strictly an electric player..... Any feedback possible would be awesome ! Thanks y'all
