Upright (acoustic and electric) bass

[Mr JJB]

Anyone has recommendations to help me learn the upright bass, being an electric bass (guitar) player already?

Any books, websites or plain tips would be good.

Thanks.

There are a few electric bass players on this forum, but, I have not seen (heard) anyone talking about stand up bass.

I think you will have better luck with one of the following.

best thing you could do is find a good teacher who plays the upright bass. which in instrument like that, form is very very VERY important, and a skilled teacher will be able to instruct you very well. books and websites are alright, but they're not going to stop you if you're doing something wrong and correct you.
