    Double Bass Approach to comping/playing Art Blakey's Free For All

    from listening to the recording numerous times it is difficult for me to discern what exactly the bassist is doing... is this tune really a free-for-all for the bassist i.e. free rhythm - hit the G# pedal or root from time to time and wing it otherwise?

    Double Bass "So Tired" A-section bassline?

    I'm trying to figure out this relatively simple figure but am struggling. I haven't gotten around to using a spectral analyzer to help me but maybe someone knows/can hear what's going on in the first 8 bars. Initially I thought is was just root-fifth double stops but that doesn't sound right...

    Double Bass Bag For Upshot and AI series iii Head ideas?

    Hey all, I'm looking for a backpack style bag for carrying the Upshot and a Series III clarus head I have. I talked to Mark at Gollihur a while back and he said the official upshot backpack couldn't accommodate the older heads. I bought the "AmazonBasics" camera bag that lots of people have...

    Double Bass Trace Elliot ELF 1x10 impressions

    Hey all, I just had the opportunity to A/B two cabinets, one of which was the ELF 1x10 (the other was the Upshot). I noticed there is practically no info out there about it pertaining to the DB so i thought i would give my quick takeaway: the cabinet is extremely light at 16 lbs. I was unable...
