I've been playing bass for about 18 years, guitar for about 16.5 years, & almost entirely self taught. I generally prefer to play a fretless bass, but I can get a wide variety of tones with my set up.
I just got an upright bass in October 2021 and I'm learning it quickly. I can play most songs that I know on the bass guitar quite well on the upright.
I have extensive experience in jamming and can learn new songs on the fly.
I'm primarily a bass player, but I do have experience with guitar and vocals in live settings. I also host an open Mic on the first 3 Wednesdays of the month at the Houtson Pub in Norton, if you're interested in jamming.
