@KatS Sure, follow the #DoubleBass hashtag. It's not extremely active, but we do exist, and the more the merrier. I think EUB topics fit perfectly well within #DoubleBass, too. I'm not following #UprightBass, but it appears to be used more by folk/bluegrass players.
The kind of question I should have asked long ago: are there other people in the Fediverse who play EUB, or even acoustic upright bass?
Having a series of "oh, now I get it!" moments, and it'd be nice to compare notes with others on this journey.

Yes! My upright bass vibrates right through my body. It's so satisfying, keeping the fiddles in sync at band practice.
I like frog sounds, too. especially spring peepers.

Elly Kace - running up that hill (feat. Isaac Levien and Nate Adams)
"Have a nice cry to this tender version of the Kate Bush classic 'Running up that hill' featuring NYC talents Isaac Levien (upright bass) and Nate Adams (piano)."
À Venise, dans la cathédrale san Marco est exposée dans un coin la contrebasse de Dragonetti qui est l’un des premiers , si ce n’est le premier contrebassiste virtuose . Cette contrebasse est très belle et a la particularité d’être à 3 cordes, comme l’étaient les premières contrebasses.

I'm tired out from so much snow shovelling over the past few days, so I'm reposting a video of something I'd rather be doing.
Tenor banjos are great. You can see mine in this video - it's a 1925 Gibson TB-JR. Banjos are a bit in-your-face, though, and don't suit all kinds of music. A guitar is a more flexible instrument, and can contribute to an arrangement in so many different ways!
Avec un petit lit de pizz à la contrebasse et la seule voix. Bref très épuré, ça sonne pas si mal.
À creuser …
Bonjour, bonjour,
Nouvelle ici car certains réseaux deviennent infréquentables (pas très originale pour le coup).
Passionnée de musique classique et récemment de jazz, la contrebasse est mon amie plus que jamais par ces temps troubles !
Au plaisir d’échanger autour de la littérature , des sciences humaines et de la musique évidemment
I'm looking forward to this month's meeting of the Pineridge Bluegrass Folklore Society in Oshawa Ontario on Sunday January 19.
