Double Bass versus Bass Guitar.

[Richard Prowse]

Well, to kick this off, double basses are bigger.

A contrary view: bass guitars are easier to carry around.

They don't make Bel Canto strings for bass guitar.

A contrary view: When Oren Hudson is in his pyjamas, he chooses to play a bass guitar and not a double bass.

When people come to your house and there's a bass standing the corner, they are impressed because they think someone who lives here plays the cello.

A contrary view: When women see a bass guitarist playing in a band, they think he's a guitar player and they become interested in him.

Simply stated, since I've been eating so many grits, my belly gets in the way of the double bass while sitting down on Christmas morning in the sun room in Gastonia, NC in the heart of Dixie of The South, while the bass guitar is just a bit smaller and therefore easier to fit on my lap.

Good point there, Oren. When the belly is full, it chokes the vibrations of the DB! Now here's one that's got to stay FIT!!
