Another long-time bassist here. I won't list my curricula vitae but i will say that i prbly had more fun as a bassist in a salsa band than anything (besides drumming of course).
My vote is for a $100 electric slab and small amp (available all day long on local craigslist). If one wishes to study, the upright affords arco technique of course - which can open up complete realms of music/musicality (recommended )
