I realize that the double bass is prefered over the the electric bass as the traditional instrument in jazz.
I’ve got a son that is an accomplished upright player, but he really wants the electric to be a big part of what he studies in college or conservatory.
Miles went electric 50 years ago, there has to be some programs that are beginning to embrace the electric bass.
Here are the ones that I know of:
- Berklee
- Manhattan School of Music (Scholarship $ for upright only - over a still a very traditional program)
- William Paterson (I don’t know about this program, (GoForth filled me in about this one, I I don’t know very much about this program)
Does anyone know anyone know of any others? Any suggestions?
