Hi, I'm learning double bass since an year ago and I'm pulishing my bowing (french) technique these days. I think I quite grasp the concept of using the arm weight in the frog area until the middle of the bow. I get a big round sound in that area. The problem is the upper portion of the bow. I...

I tried it and it didn't work. I tried several other things and settled with an 1meg pot and after that the 0.01uf cap in parallel. It makes little noise and the volume is reduced.
