Okay then. I’ll keep that in mind. I may go to Michigan this summer, so maybe I could convince my parents to make room for the contrabass

Johnny, the contrabass is an octave lower than the bass. The reasoning is because of the voice (and you don’t need electricity). As you probably know, every instrument has its own unique sound.

A low reed sound is different from a bass. You get get a more emotional and (I can’t think of what I want to say). Notes with more levels to it.

A bass is directed by speakers. A contrabass is directed by the bell and the vibrations through the instrument and it’s shape. It is just different. My explanation is terrible, so if someone gets what I mean or thinks they do, feel free to elaborate.
