picking up the instrument, be aware they are expensive.
I would suggest strongly, this from my friends who are double bassists (many of them since I'm a jazz musician and play with bassists all the time) is to get classical lessons first, just for a little while. Purpose being, proper technique with your left hand thus getting good intonation and tone.
Then if you want to hit the Jazz thing or whatever you can move onto other stuff. But the Classical lessons will really help you a lot!
And good for you, more people need to be hip to acoustic bass. To me, it's the best sound there is.
