Ah the struggles of a jazz bassist. We groove too much. xD You're probably right.

I have some sort of horn part but the bass line is very unique and interesting in this piece. Looking for the original Duke Ellington version if possible. I'm using it for a University music program audition and the judges need to see the sheet music. I appreciate the help, thank you.:hyper:

Yeah that's true, thanks for the advice.

Ahaha, I'm such a noob I'm really not sure sure about the pick-up and I meant adjustable bridge =x. Yeah it was that Model 95 there. I tried a bass that was $3500 alone without an outfit, I was still happy with what the Eastman outfit felt like though. That link approaches the 4k range and I'm...

Hey guys...So I went to the Fine Instrument Shop today and I found a bass that is in my price range. It's a small shop that mainly sells violins but also sells cellos and DB's...I believe someone referred me to the shop earlier within the thread. Here's the info on it. ABS - 3/4 - 1955...

Ahaha you guys are amazing. Thank you so much. Today I'm going to a fine instrument shop, the guy there should be able to give me some more information regarding DB's, I'll try as many as I can. Regarding the amp, I assume that the university supplies the amp since it would be quite the hassle...

Hmm that's pretty cool actually. I can see the application of a bow, maybe I just never listened to much jazz with bow bass.

Yeah that makes sense. Thanks :)

Whoa. I plan on joining the jazz program so I won't need a bow right? Wouldn't it be set-up when I buy it? Why would I need a new bridge and pick-up? The ones on the bass aren't good enough? Why would I ever need an amp? Very frustrated now ahaha. If all this is true..I really can't afford to...

I live in Guelph currently

Well, I'm in a small town and they don't sell double basses in any of the stores. Usually the staff and products at Long and Mcquade are amazing though. Thanks for the reply.
