oooo. double bass.
tis a challenge. i started going to school for it in september, and it is really frustrating…especially the bow. i’m doing it classical style, and i am very good at making it squeak.but you’re getting nice tone from it. truly a different beast from electric. do you read music as well? or do you just do everything by ear

Hello,
keep practicing! 
I’m not a double bass player, but I’ve taken some lesson in the past. I remember my teacher’s advices.
“Keep the bow perpendicular to the string.” and
“While you have the bow moving on the string, try not ‘gliding’ it up and down.”
I hope this will be helpful.
A bassist.

: Hey Marlowe, I bought the L253 in order toget the backing track. However, there is no backing track without the bass. Is there a way to get this?
: Thanks Marlowe! I guess I better start saving up. I can't wait to get one. I'm positive if I get one then my playing automatically gets funkier right?
: Hank: my sig bass will be presented at the Frankfurt musik messe in march. I dont know of the price but i guess it will be priced in the same range as Sandbergs California models. There is a couple of american retailers, check Sandbergs site.
: Hi guys!
: hi, GospelBassMan
: Hello community!!
