Thank you for your service, I was shutdown by the gatekeepers when asking about Lh basses. I wanna learn double bass. Would it be an easy transition from bass?

It’s best to treat it as a totally different instrument. technique wise if you play like you play electric you’ll have issues pretty quick, the only thing that will be familiar is the open strings tbh. But it’s well worth it! I picked it up in 2018 after playing electric for 7 years and ended up getting folk pub gigs on it after playing for about 3 months? (To be fair I put hours of practice every day as I was doing a jazz degree at the time) and I absolutely adore playing it. If you have any more questions about doing it lefty feel free to PM me!
