Does anyone know if it would be easy to play both the violin and the double bass

Question:

Does anyone know if it would be easy to play both the violin and the double bass?

I play the violi now and a friend of mine who is in my orchestra group plays the bass but is it more worth while to keep playing violin, and master the tequnicks or play both and get good at both of them and what are some good double bass pieces to play.
Oh...and Im not talkig about the bass guitar I am talking about the double bass in a string orchestra.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: i would say learn both! as for pieces of double bass, here are some STANDARD pieces that is really good to learn.
Capuzzi's Double Bass Concerto
Sergei Rachmaninoff's Vocalise

and iono.. Arioso from Bach?
