SOLD Finale French carbon fiber bow. I'd say very good condition overall. Bought it almost exactly one year ago to the day. Comes with original Finale Case. I had it re-haired in March to white hair from the salt and pepper it came with. I had the original grip and winding taken off as I and...

So I'm looking to get a mic. I think I've settled on the DPA 4099 for my current instrument, although I think I will also get a Troll mic when I get another bass and set it up with all guts. My question is, have any of you ever used the DPA 4099 and just really didn't like it at all? If so...

Samuel Eastman model 80 bass for sale. Laminate construction. Company page [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] This bass has been lovingly played and meticulously cared for. I bought it brand new almost exactly 4 years ago from Quinn Violins. I had a new, very high quality, maple bridge...

Let me know if you have a carved bass you'd be interested in selling in MN. Thanks.

I started out on Corelli tungstens for about a year, then switched to spiro mittels, then to the starks and I absolutely love them for arco and of course pizz. My practice is about 80% arco and I am looking to get into a top-notch classical program in the next 2-3 years. I love my starks and...

Where do you go to get your bass appraised for insurance purposes? I'm in the twin cities MN area.

Don't really want to buy it new. PM me if you can help me out. Thanks.

So I'm working on page 11 developing my spiccato, and have a couple questions. 1. Do you typically use more rosin? It seems to be easier for me, but I'm not sure if I'm handicapping myself by using more rosin when practicing this exercise than everything else. 2. Does anything about your...

How/When in your practicing do you focus on breathing? I see a really good opportunity for it when practicing scales and similar material, but I am unsure of specifically what to do. Thanks

What would be the best type of wood (body, neck, and fingerboard ) to resist, or to take ridiculous climate changes the best for say working on a cruise ship? I was probably going to buy everything from Warmoth, as individual pieces. Thanks.

Dream Of The Wild Specifically track 12, the bass solo. Let me know what you think. I had been playing for 12 months at the time of the recording (Jan 2011), and would like to think I've come a long way since. Track 1 is a good place to start if you would like to get an idea of the sound of the...

I know in jazz a very heavy emphasis is placed on listening from the beginning. Now that I'm headed in more of a classical direction, I want to be more knowledgeable about the music and it's history. Could you guys recommend some must have classical recordings? Any composer, as well as any...

Sorry if this has been posted before, I searched and couldn't find anything. How expensive of an instrument do you need to have in order to win a professional level audition? How big of a role does the quality/age/pedigree etc of your instrument play in the audition process?

Know anybody?

I play a plywood Sam Eastman with Spiro mittels. E, A, D, and G are all right around 9.5mm from the end of the fingerboard to the middle of the string, give or take .2mm. I love it. Does anybody else play with heights almost even across all 4 strings like this? I've never played a bass that...

is it bad for my bridge adjusters to be uneven? because of the arc of the bridge i need to have the E string adjuster higher than the G string. is this bad for the top?

What would happen if i put a D string on in place of a G, and tuned it up to G? Too much tension on the top and or just the string?

Today my A string broke at the bridge... only had them on for 2-3 months now. Was expecting them to last twice as long.... They were Corelli 370 TX (heavy) gauge. It didn't really full out break, it looks like the core is still in tact but the winding and core is super stretched out, looks like...

When transferring from other hybrid strings to Spiros (I'm looking at the mittels) about how long did it take you to get used to playing them arco? I'm recording a full original album at the end of december/early january and am thinking about grabbing a used set off the classifieds ASAP.

I play a Sam Eastman ply with Corelli Tungsten TX gauge 370's. It's hard to explain without sound samples, but some notes are very uneven in volume and feel than others. My A on the D string (Octave of the open A) moves the open A a ridiculous amount to the point where I almost can't play it...

im playing the heavy (TX) gauge with a decent string action and i love it. They've been on for just over two months, and have REALLY just broken in. The pizz has sooo much sustain and is so smooth sounding, i never want to put my bass down. Also ive never been told to stop playing in rehearsal...

i was having a huge amount of trouble bowing the A and especially the E string. The bow would stick to the string at the beginning of about half of every bow stroke, and it was the most frustrating thing ive ever encountered, because i didnt have the problem two months ago. it just came out of...

So ive come to the conclusion that ive read way too many threads talking about how sweet spirocores are, and plan on getting them next time i buy strings. i currently play and practice about 70/30 arco/pizz. A good sound/feel arco is important, but a good pizz sound is even more important...

Sorry if this is in the wrong category, not sure where it should be... How much do you guys charge per hour for being hired for studio work? Do you ask for a different amount per hour depending on certain factors? Like what? i've done a bit of paid studio work, but that was about two years...

What is the usual progression of bass acquirement? Like plywood until i was __ years old/until my __ year of college then i bought a brand new carved when i was __ years old and have been playing it until i sold it to buy an antique bass when i was __ years old

On what amp I want! I currently play an Ashdown MAG 300 head into a 15 in homemade cab (not upright friendly), or a custom built 12 in cab (it works pretty well for upright, cost me 90$), or an Eden 410XLT (best cab I've ever played through for electric, not so much upright). These days all I...

How far should the string be into the nut? How high is it suppose to be off the FB on the low F/Bb/Eb/Ab? Hopefully I'll be able to make a trip out to my luthier to get it looked at on Saturday.

Most helpful i guess would be a better phrase... Right now im playing a Sam Eastman plywood bass. Pretty much just the base model, with no extra frills other than an adjustable bridge (which is of marginal quality... not the easiest to adjust). The tuners can be kind of finnicky on occasion...

What does a used CF bow go for? Or any bow for that matter. The finale is like 350$ new, how much could i get for that used a year or two after i bought it?

i bought my upright in October 09. When i bought it, it had really light gauge Corelli 370 tungsten strings on it as that's what the luthier who was very familiar with my bass recommended, he said they just work well with this model. The tone i got with them (arco and pizz) was more than...
