Gibson Tal Farlow model which I sold to buy a Lothar Seifert bow. I miss the guitar but I have been in love with the bow since I got it in 2000. )))
As for what I feel knowledgable about for advice. For double bass I am confident in advice on fingerings (at least the school I am used to which is the technique Oscar Zimmerman taught) as well as bowings to most orchestral repertoire as used in the Philadelphia orchestra. I'm not familiar with German bows or any techniques that might be individual to playing with one. - G.A.S. List:
- Double Bass - a nice hybrid or carved bass, and a bass that I can really feel proud playing in terms of letting me pull out as much tone as possible.
Bass Guitar - Probably a P or J bass. I'm totally fine with just the 6'er for now.
Guitars - Have all I need except a nice nylon string. - Gigs, Bands, & Ensembles:
- Freelancing, various chamber groups, jazz/pop piano trio
- Influences and Teachers:
- My Great Uncle Oscar Zimmerman and his student (and my teacher) Henry Scott. Paul Chambers, Scott Lafaro, Ron Carter, Gary Peacock, Ray Brown, Larry Grenadier...many others. My late father who has written wonderful music for the bass in addition to the other 450+ pieces in his lifetime.
