I have a feeling that learning to play electric double bass *through an amplifier* was a big mistake.
At the core, this is an acoustic instrument. If you play it through an amp, you will instinctively only do the bare minimum to get *some* sound going, because the amp does the heavy lifting. But it’s just not right.
This is a very physical instrument. It needs a lot of force and strength – in comparison, an electric bass guitar is almost flimsy and delicate. I need to “feel” what’s going on and that’s just not the case when using headphones.
I feel like I wasted ~3 years. 🫤 But maybe it’ll get better from now on …~
