Yup.
The 3/4 size upright is the standard instrument used by most upright players.
They are a VERY physical instrument and you have to develop calloused fingers (both left hand and the the fleshy portion of the first two fingers on the right hand to pluck with). They require a bit of muscle build-up, but if a bass is set up properly and has good strings they aren't terribly difficult to play. Make sure you can wrestle one in your car if you're driving a sub-compact. Many people are surprised as to the amount of room they take up.
A word of advice, research your purchase and don't think that the import bass from your favorite catalog or local music store will last much longer than the time it takes for the short warranty period to expire.
