Don Higdon 08-21-2001, 06:52 AM Where did you find a picture of my teacher? gruffpuppy 08-21-2001, 07:56 AM Yes I would have to agree, he is really holding the bow wrong for a consistent tone. He also should step back about 1 or 2 steps and let the bass lean on him a little bit. He is never going to be able to finger notes if he is holding the bass up.

It is a rare but well-known method of playing the double bass known as doing a "69". jazzbo 08-21-2001, 09:08 AM You people are absolutely killing me. I posted this thinking it was painfully, painfully obvious, and yet absolutely no one, NO ONE!, has yet to mention that his freakin' pinky is not on the bow. HELLO?! Are you people blind?!?!?? erik II 08-21-2001, 09:37 AM My god, you're right... :eek: Well, it would be easier to spot details like that if you hadn't posted the picture upside-down! bullmoose 08-21-2001, 11:01 AM Forget bowing technique - where does he think his left hand thumb's going?

That's bow? I thought it was some kind of batton or poker; not necessariliy an inappropriate piece of equipment when using the 69 technique. Has anyone seen the Levi's commercial with the kid playing the bass auditioning for the school talent show or something? Seeing this kid with a bass that could really pass for a HS bass and German bow, coupled with the sound really brought back some memories! Bass Guitar 08-21-2001, 03:24 PM Again, there is nothing wrong with this bassist's "69" technique. The only problem I see is the fact that his bow is not in the right position with the f-hole. jazzbo 08-21-2001, 03:25 PM Originally posted by Bass Guitar The only problem I see is the fact that his bow is not in the right position with the f-hole. That was wrong! :D farmerdude 08-21-2001, 03:33 PM He should bend at the knees while lifting the bass violin to chin position. fretless5 08-21-2001, 10:34 PM *soundin' like Grandpa* You kids and yer crazy ideas... DAVEinRI 09-27-2001, 09:33 AM Thanks for the great picture to replace the boring Gollihur "bass in the garden" shot for my desktop wallpaper! Aaron 09-27-2001, 07:36 PM That's how i started.
