Thanks for all the info. I've already utilized some of those resources all of you have shared. What about music for 5+ basses? anyone have any luck there? (I know Dave Anderson has a few, but my younger students would mess their little pants trying to play that stuff).

Thanks Tom. I'll check it out. @Neil- mostly anything. I'd like to steer away from popular folk tunes and corny songs. more classical (lesser known, the better), jazz, latin, other world music, etc... I'd prefer music that you (or others that may post) have played before and enjoyed. again...

I've been searching online at various music websites looking for reviews on double bass ensemble music (all basses, not like the Trout or other ensembles that have bass in it). Trouble is, It's been hard finding good reviews or if people have liked the content in the books. btw, this is for...

I have worked through Grover Wilhelmsen also and he is a great man to work with. I bought a very nice german bass he brought back from europe for $14,000 (I'm it's first user). Great tone and it's already started to open up more. it's value is already to started to rise. his repairs are also...

I'm a university student in both music ed and bass performance looking for the book "A New History of the Double Bass". When I search the internet, the prices are a little out of my budget. i was wondering if anyone new of a library who had it or the cheapest place i could buy it.
