So, what makes these two instruments different?
The double bass stands next to you, like a dancing partner. It doesn't demand logic, more that you show everyone in the room that the two of you are together, like a team.
The bass guitar needs more physical support. The bass guitar is more needy.
A bass instrument isn't something that should be defined by ****ytical comparison. It dwells in the same realms as a wife does. So, let us rise above the notion of logical comparison - things like "I can play faster on this one" or "This one has a better tone."
Why not move into the space of "I could grow flowers in this", for, in the end, isn't that what what life and art are all about?
