    Double Bass Want to sound like (insert name here) ? Read this! (DB forum thread)

    Eddy Merckx once said: it's not the bike, it's the man on the bike... I got these wise words from a teacher... He said to me: "You have a very nice sound", I replied "I have a very nice sounding bass", to which he quoted Eddy Merckx :-)

    it's Westmalle Tripel :D (I wouldn't touch a Heineken, I'm belgian, I do have a sense of taste) Invalid Link Removed And Stella is a fine choice if you ask me, no "light-stuff" at all (but perhaps the "export" Stella is not the same as the one on the belgian market)

    Who do I listen to for jazz?

    nah, that dude plays way out of key a lot of the time :D (don't give that man a bow!.... doh!) Scott LaFaro is your man!!! now seriously: I must admit I like Paul Chambers, although he's doing the same thing over and over and over again, it works! ... still, Scott LaFaro was the greater...

    cheap but decent fretless bass

    too bad it's so darn ugly :( (same goes for the Cort Curbow... in black it's still rather ok, but in other colours it's just plain wrong :D, but I must say it has the advantage of being unlined)

    cheap but decent fretless bass

    Perhaps you're right :cool: Anyway, Squier VM fretless J-bass it will be, but I'm going to wait a couple of months... I need to work on my left hand (strenght), if I buy a BG now, I think I will go for the "easier" way all too often...
