I'm currently setting up a lessn with him. Thanks! :)

Yes, I've worked with him before. Although I thought he was excessively harsh and his criticism lacked constructiveness :/ I was never able to play well in front of him, which is very strange. I guess we weren't a good fit? It's a shame cause he seems qualified, but it didn't seem to work...

Thanks! I appreciate all the great jazz names, but I'm looking more for classical bassists.

as well as masterclasses, camps, and festivals that regularly take place here? Thank you!

I've been playing electric bass for 2 years now. I played Jazz, Blues, Latin, and some Rock, and now I'm getting into Metal and more Rock. I've only played a school bass and school amp up until now, but now I really want to have my own set. I have $1100 to spend on everything; I can go a little...

Um, I doubt it since i don't really know all too much about what you're talking about. (Not a very knowledgable person T_T) Anyway, do you know how take the string tension down or anything to get the adjusters to work? Like, without killing the bass? XD EDIT: Actually, I'm 99% sure I...

I'm basically a newbie upright bass player. The school bass that I play at school has an adjustable bridge, and it really helps make it easier to play different styles and whatnot. It's also really east to turn the adjuster-things. So I bought an upright bass for myself, and also got...

Very true. I just got a new bass, and my old one had a very thing neck and fingerboard (almost like a cello's) And it was very comfortable for my small hands. But when I talked to a luthier about it, they said although it was ideal for my hands, it would increase the string tension greatly...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, I've been playing bass for about a year, although I can play high school level orchestra music, and middle school level Jazz (a little behind on Jazz, ) I've finally saved up enough for a student bass, and...

I've been playing double bass for not much more than a year, but I can't seem to get callouses. I think that maybe I'm doing it all wrong. Basically, I play until I get a blister, then put some adhesive tape around it and continue playing. Usually, after some time has passed, the blister...

I used to have the exact same problem, except it was when I used to play cello. I'd squeeze the neck and my thumb would hurt and it really negatively affected my playing. So I asked about it and I learned about the chip method. I'm not sure if it works with basses/bass players and you can't...
