Hey all, I was wondering... does anyone know where I can find a complete history of double bass makers and style of basses etc in Hungary?

Hey, I have a gig in Maui this summer and I need to rent/borrow a bass. If anyone could point me in the direction of a rental place or if someone lives there that could give me a hand I would greatly appreciate. The gig is for a week August 2-9. Thanks -Chris

Looking to trade my plywood Cleveland New Standard.. sounds great and in great condition and can post pics upon request (with mooradian case and wheel) for a smaller (5/8) preferably carved bass of equal or slightly lesser value. I have recently purchased an old carved bass and would like a...

Hey everybody.. Need some help on this.. I don't have a travel case for my bass nor do I want to travel this summer with my carved instrument. I have a gig in Maui and I'm wondering if there is anyone familiar with renting a decent bass there for maybe 4-5 days. Can anyone help me out on...

What does it mean.. the bass is Tyrolean.. where is this??

I go to Msm and I like it a lot. I study with Jay Anderson who is a great teacher, and I've also heard great things about Harvie S although I've never had the chance to study with him. I'm an undergraduate but the masters students I know also love the program, from what I heard the graduate...

thanks for your sarcastic and unhelpful post i go to manhattan school of music, this is not a technique issue Andrew and B: Thanks I will take it to a luthier when I'm back at school I just wanted some ideas to bring to the table rather than making the luthier guess what I want. Thank you

I actually like the bridge that is on it, I've been trying to make it sound more deep or full and have more clarity in all registers. Was just wondering if the older bridge would give it a more mature sound. Im also thinking about taking some of the bow out of the neck what are some...

I own a new standard and I'm trying a bunch of different things to get a better sound out of it im wondering what changes a bridge could bring. right now the bass came with a decent bridge made in france i have an opportunity to maybe get a german made bridge from around 1930, what...
