first, do no harm....ooops, thats just for doctors...]

my recomendation would be to use a mic on the tuba or use a mouthpiece
with a microphone pickup....that way you can play more relaxed and take
longer phrases and emulate the upright bass more easily....

AND, if you want the band to swing, for goodness sakes use a live drummer
you will miss a lot of the fun of rhythm section interaction otherwise..

best of luck to you
