Hello, I am a beginner player who plays the electric bass as a hobby. I really love jazz, and recently, by chance, I started taking upright bass lessons. I am enjoying it in many ways.

I'm still renting out instruments and using them in my dedicated practice room. I plan to purchase it later, but can I practice in an apartment or villa? Are there any methods like muting devices or cushions? I'm kinda worried

Also, could you personally recommend any great double bass albums or performers for studying? Thank you.
