I'm a noobie but my teacher plays a french bow and my school lent me a german bow. He told me to to hold it with all four of my fingers under the handle with my index running along the stick (i don't know the right word) and to have my thumb lying across the top with thumb palm down. It works...

I was thinking about it like being born blind, or leaning to drive on a stick shift. Same kinda deal?

heeeeeeyyy I've been playing upright for bout a month or two and want to go to acoustic bass guitar. I think I want fretless because upright has no frets, but I just spoke to an friend in the business and he said no way to I want to start bass guitar on fretless. he also says that they...

the most it will do is de-tune it.

Hello all! I've been playing orchestral stand-up for about a month and it is this good. --->:hyper: Now I think I want an acoustic bass for Christmas and split the cost between me, my parents, and my grandparents. Now I'm not going to say "choose the best one for the value" because that is...

So I was reading this thread two nights ago. The next day after shoo, I went into he music room and started practicing. A flute player walked in and told me to play something on the Cello. that was the first time I've ever been with a bass in public, I just started.

I'm a Drummer, both Orchestral and Rock. I just started bass. It's interesting dealing with notes. :)

I just found the newbie links and they are proving to be very helpful. A mod can delete this whenever, I guess. Ill ask something when I have a question.

I most likely am holding it wrong and I really shouldn't have a preference yet, now that I think about it. I'm not totally sure of my price range, because I have old rish people in my family who love music. As for size.... I'm 5'9''? And surely orchestral. Ill look into the re-learning of...
