Definitively it makes absolutely sense to experiment with different fingering and use what is best for different passages, particularly faster ones. I use 1-2-3-4 fingering whenever possible and useful, with pivoting when needed. I understand that schools of db are teaching more traditional...

Ok. Good. I'll mail you the strings on Monday and send you details of the shipment. Thank You

Ok, I have created a request of payment in paypal, I hope it worked. Let me know if you have received it.

I need you email and land mail addresses. This is mine: [email protected]

I have been playing these strings for about six months totally. They have been mounted twice, on the second bass (the new one I have got recently) they sound too bright and they do not blend with the other bass in the orchestra, thus sadly I had to take them off. If you are positive I can send...

US Postal Service Priority mail 6-10 business days 24.75 USD Priority mail Express 3-5 business days 46.50 USD Fedex is more expensive and I guess UPS too. Let me know.

Sure, I'll inquire about the cost of expedition to France and let you know.

Beautiful gut strings for double bass. Eudoxa are among the best strings on the market. Silver wire over gut, they are excellent for bowing and pizz. Very powerful , easy to play, bright (because of the silver winding). They are quite expensive but they are really worth the money. As all the gut...

They are Mittel .

Excellents strings, Mittel (medium) gauge, beautiful mellow sound , extremely easy to bow. Pizzicato is ok, dark and nice (for me) but they are mostly designed for arco playing (see detailed description on Pirastro web site). I have used these strings just for 2 days , they are too thin for my...

Interesting. I have just installed 2 Passiones (D and G) on my bass replacing Evah Pirazzi (I keep E and A). I normally play jazz, but lately I am more involved in classical music, thus I am looking to some strings that works better with arco, but they can still at least work in jazz. The...

Hello Eveyone, I have my adjustable bridge always bending forward. I'll fix it every time, lowering the adjusters to the minimum, setting up the bridge in the right position and rising the adjuster to my preferred action. I carefully tighten the strings and I used graphite to improve...

Thank You for you reply, very useful. I don't play rock, mostly jazz and DB/electric is 60/40. Electric is used for jazz, fusion, funk, with frequent slap technique.

Does anybody have used Ampeg amps with a Double Bass. I am looking for an amp that can perform well with my DB (realist pickup under the bridge) and my electric bass. I was looking into Ampeg PF-500. I know that Acoustic Image is the ideal amp for DB , but it's out of my budget at the...

I have an hybrid db, pretty decent bass. I have started with Evah Pirazzi weigh, pretty good string (I had on my cello as well), but the sound was not that powerful on E and A, D was ok and I didn't like the G string , too close to a fretless bass. I worked a bit on the action with not much...
