![]() ![]() I play one in the right context, and yes, some people love it. BUT URB is a commintment and question is do you think you can make the commintment? So URB is a great instrument, it will teach your a lot about playing bass and other musicianship skills, your BG playing will be benefit from your playing URB. That starts coming into all your practice to thing right becuase otherwise your wasting time. You have to the proper way to use it or it can make alien sounds. Also the bow won't accept doing things halfassed. You think you played something in tune, pickup the bow and its a different story. Then I hear some EUB don't lend themselves to bowing.īowing is the main teacher of the URB. Since they don't have the body you don't develop the correct posture. IMO most EUB's don't have those reference points. Parts of the bass become your reference points. ![]() When you learn URB you discover how they are built is part of the key to learning where notes are. I went and bought a used stundent bass I wanted the sound of a real acoustic bass and happy I did. So after playing URB playing BG anything on a BG will be a breeze. URB is a very physical instrument you will be building a lot of hand strength and endurance. Like Rabbath one of the master of the instrument say you need to play scales two hours a day. ![]() All skills that will make your playing of anything else simplier and better. You will develop your ear more, sightreading, and musicianship. That is because you are learng an instrument that is 100's of year old and 100's of year of refining how to play and teach. ![]() The URB you will learn more about music and develop proper approaches to playing. URB you must have a teacher there is too many things about posture, fingering, bowing, and intonation that you need a teacher to learn. Now again in my rookie opinion what you learn on URB can transfer easily to BG, but not the reverse. That different technique IMO will also influence how you think about constructing lines. The scale length is very different so has its own technique. URB and BG are and have to be treated as two different instruments. I just started playing upright about a month ago. ![]()
