    Double Bass Buying in Europe vs. US

    Thanks for the help everyone! Luckily, I do speak German (part of the reason I chose the program), so hopefully I know enough to negotiate. I'll absolutely be going to the Prague Exhibition and checking out some of these shops. Does anyone know if it's possible for me to get into any of these...

    Double Bass Buying in Europe vs. US

    I'll be spending a semester in Vienna to study bass this fall, and am also just beginning to get into the market for a grad school bass. I have some peers that claim that buying an instrument is cheaper in Europe because the market is more saturated, although I don't know how informed their...

    Double Bass Permanent Solo Tuning

    So I've been playing around with different tunings lately, and discovered that 5ths and other variants of it are not for me. I now have my solo strings are for an upcoming recital, and my bass resonates infinitely more than it does in standard tuning, and speaks so much clearer. Has anyone tried...

I'm a recording tech in addition to a bass player so my natural inclination is to put EQ on everything, but I...

    I would REALLY like to attend this summer, but I'm trying to put out some feelers for my chances of acceptance. Anyone know what their general level of playing is/acceptance rate? I went to EMF last summer, but would really like to get out of NC.

    Upright to electric?

    I've seen lots of threads on the upright side of electric guys going to upright, but I'm trying to go the other way. I play jazz and classical upright, and play electric for freelance gigs and for fun in bands, but I'd like to get more serious about it. I honestly play my electric with the same...
