Could anyone tell me if there's any double bass catalogue, that contains original works up to 1950?

You might try lemur-music.com or liben.com. Lemur is a great catalogue with an online store containing a lot of music. Liben is good also.

I guess you did'nt understand me. I talking about something that I can see all the works that has been writen for bass, that is not contemporary. Something like a list...

I read somewhere that Murray Grober compiled something that may help you. The title was something like "Complete Repertoire for the Double Bass." It lists hundreds of works that were written for the double bass.

That being said, I have never seen the list and can't be sure where to find it.
