Hi hate tp play with electric bass in wind ensemble. Here, a lot of school band do it like this. I'm teaching in a musical camp and there I have to teach as well the tubist but also the bass sections (tubas, trombones, euphoniums, bass etc). Two years ago I had three electric bass in the section!! (2 were plugged in the same ampli)... That was terrible but in that situation we can't do anything except just to ask everytime to low the volume... Fortunately, the bands I used to play with are using a string bass as asked by a lot of pieces where there is a string bass part. Conductors has to make the difference beetween electric and string bass.. isn't the same effect and the blend is much better...
