Mr. Carter's "Comprehensive Bass Method" is deceptive in it's simplicity as it mostly deals with walking bass lines. It is easy to play through it without examining his note choices and the relationships in harmony, phrase construction & direction and the economy of horizontal use of the fingerboard.
Thank you Jason for pointing out the nuance of this method book.

You bet, Doug! I’ve had a blast working on the studies deeper into the book. I’m hoping to play one for a bass event sometime in 2024.

The Maestro!
His jazz bass legacy is indelible. All of the sessions, all of the titans, all of the music...mind-blowing! Every word he utters is rife with his personal history of the greatest American musical art form.
Wishing you continued good health and happiness sir. And, a robust, much appreciated shout out to you Jason, for bringing this out for the world. A blessing to have him still here to share first hand with us!

For all of middle school I was using my schools lower grade bases. Know that I am doing it in high school I want to get my own bass. I have a budget of 3000$ do you think that’s enough for a nice quality one? And if so where do you think I should look for to buy a bass?

That is plenty, most likely you’d be able to find a really nice laminate bass or a hybrid with a carved back or something. It’d be hard to find a fully carved bass for under 4500 but it’s possible. Kay’s are a nice place to start.
