    Modern slap players

    I'm hungry for some new inspiration and I have a taste for slap these days. I'm looking for modern funk, rock, and metal slap players. I'm well familiar with Primus & RHCP. I enjoy Wooten and Miller but right now I want something with a little more edge. I don't need the craziest chops...

    Double Bass Charnett Moffett's bass

    Anybody know what kind of thin body EUB Charnett Moffett has been using lately? Here's a good picture from the cover of his new album: http://charnettmoffett.net/connect/ It looks a lot like an Eminence, but a bit larger and the top corners are different. Just curious.

    Double Bass Tailpiece Style

    I play a 20's/30's carved German flatback. The tailpiece is ebony with 2 holes on the top where the tailgut loops through, similar to this one: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] I was wondering if there is any technical advantage of the "violin style" tailpiece over mine or is it just a...

    Double Bass Emily Remler - Catwalk

    I heard this song on XM radio this weekend and immediately went online to buy the album. The band is tight and Eddie Gomez is killing it. His bass is right up front in the mix and very clear. I love guitar ensembles and from what I have read, this is Emily Remler at her best. I was...

    Double Bass Mike's Master Classes

    A while back I bought the John Patitucci DVD from David Gage. Great video. I can watch it over and over and pick up something new each time. I noticed other David Gage workshops were streamed and sold on www.mikesmasterclasses.com. The site has been mentioned on this forum more than once...

    Double Bass Eddie Gomez with Bill Evans

    I'm currently reading the Bill Evan's biography: How My Heart Sings. It's an excellent book and has inspired me to seek out more of Bill Evan's work with Eddie Gomez. What are some of your favorite albums and why? Disclaimer: I know there are already some Eddie Gomez threads going...

    Double Bass Solo Jazz DB

    A few months ago the good folks here at TB helped me find a copy of Dave Holland's One's All. It's a great CD of fairly straight ahead Jazz. Just Dave Holland's bass, no other instrumentation. Since then I've done some looking for other solo DB recordings like this one. I've heards some...
