I'm looking into buying a double bass and have been considering an electric. I know this is similar to a previous question, how do i make an electric upright bass sound more standard, but I'm asking with a slightly different specific, so maybe this isn't a dupe.
My primary application would be to play along with a small amateur strings group, so I want a decently realistic tone. Owning an electric violin I know these are a tad off, but not far enough to really cause an issue for my taste. I just want to prevent a more digital sound coming from an amp, so I'm wondering if using am acoustic amp, such as those that Orange makes would help. Since they basically work by maintaining high fidelity to prevent "electric" coloring I wouldn't expect the amp to make it sound more acoustic, but maybe closer than a usual guitar amp, for example. Additionally, would it be better to use a bass amp since it would be made for the lower registers, making an acoustic amp kinda moot?
