Unfortunately Katie I don't play double bass. I came this >< close to buying an NS CR5 electric upright bass last year from the Bass Centre when they were doing a ridiculously low deal on them and then baulked after trying it.
Even with the EUB I found I needed to attack the instrument to get any satisfaction out of it and at the end of the day I didn't really like the prospect of fighting the instrument in order to express myself. Maybe thats more of a sign that I didn't understand how to approach the instrument but I went back to bass guitar anyway.
Instead of being in an orchestra, I'm in a soul band with 6 female singers which has been through a fair amount of upheaval since the musical director walked out on us. So we're in the process of putting ourselves back together again and hopefully will be gigging by the summer.
