Early Birthday Present!
I've been really pissed that they don't have any real courses on electric bass for university, so I'm gonna have to spend about $1,800 at my local music store for a CHEAP upright so I can quickly learn as much about it as possible, then take the audition for the classes. so my parents have surprised me last week, by getting me a rental upright, it's pretty much this model:

yeah, it's really been a learning experience, the scale is longer, the strings have way more tension and the bow is really difficult to get the hang of, but I'm enjoying it! My parents have told me it's an early birthday gift, so I can't hope for an eyepatch or a silly pirate hat, but hey, I don't mind folding another one from paper yarrrr!:
