    Double Bass High School Seniors Class of '10 (decisions)

    I'd have to disagree with that a bit. Speaking as someone who's done a course at a university, it's entirely misguided to equate sitting that course and the exams that go along with it to going through high school and then going to school for bass. It takes entirely different intellectual...

    Yes, that is what I was comparing. We were comparing different things and seem to agree, actually. Some of you posters in here are so abrasive, it's impossible to have a normal debate about anything.

    Double Bass Why learn both bows?

    Is it hard to learn the other once you've started? I can't imagine really playing proficiently utilizing German bow. Can't even figure out the bow-hold, but maybe it's just cos I'm a snugglemuffin...

    Double Bass New to the bluegrass scene (recordings included)

    I like it, it sounds really good. Can you get your band on iTunes? Don't know how that works, but I might buy those tracks.

    Isn't bottesinirox's last post trash-talking, too? Also, are we allowed to write in other languages besides English in here? There's another forum that's used by UK students and any language apart from English isn't permissible.
