Just because you can do a thing, doesn't mean you should.
I agree with Rick. If you can manage to play all the notes correctly on a contrabass, just think how much better it would sound if you didn't have to work that hard because you used the equipment the piece was intended for. Besides, I have never heard anyone who could play this piece well on a contrabass. I'm still quite skeptical about that possibility.
My opinion for what it's worth...
