Thanks to everyone who replied. Much appreciated.
I'm still immensely enjoying playing the electric bass, although every now and then the thought of doubling on or completely switching over to upright crosses my mind. Who knows, one of these days, I just might. Because when I really think about it, outside maybe of one or two electric bassists, all my role models are upright jazz bassists.
If anything else, Ken's info on what Chambers and the other great bassists played was particularly instructive and, like I said earlier, enlightening for me.
