Double bass ba-boom!

    I really want to buy a Double bass but I have no idea how to play it. I can play Bass, intermediate guitar, beginner piano, keyboards, cello etc. And anexpert on the tri-angle. I'm pretty musical.
    Anyway, buying a double bass is a pretty heavy investment. €600 second hand and Lo-end strings at €40 each.
    But does anybody know where I would be able to get lessons on somebodies Double bass? If I got, say, 10 lessons under my belt, I'd know if I could keep it up so then I could buy an upright myself.
    Thanks in advance. :)

    There'd be at least one more if the damn things weren't so expensive...

    Interesting believe-it-or-not factoid: the "digeridoo" sound in Rolf Harris' "Tie Me Kangaroo Down" is actually played by four double basses.
