    Double Bass Are there audio recordings of the Simandl Exercises?

    Hello. I'm working through Simandl with a teacher. I find it impossible to check my intonation with a tuner while I'm reading the exercises (and trying hard to NOT look at my fingers). I transcribed a few of the exercises and created audio mp3's so I could play along with them. These have...

    Double Bass Does this seem like a good DB to consider?

    I'm still seeking the elusive good quality beginner/intermediate bass that I'll be proud to own/play. Of course I know that I'll need to play it, have it inspected by a luthier, get a good teacher, etc., etc. but I wanted feedback from you more knowledgeable players about whether or not its...

    Double Bass Considering this bass -- opinions please

    I'm thinking about buying this bass. I haven't played DB for many years so I'm looking to get back into it after 30+ years as a pro electric player. I want a good bass that I'll appreciate now and into the future as I gain competence again. I don't want an intro level high school student...

    New Gig Bag - Probag Leather

    I just wanted to share my impressions and some photos of my brand new Probag Leather Gig Back. I've been looking for a nice leather bag for awhile but I couldn't see parting with the cash for a Harvest Leather, Levys, etc. I heard about Probag from one of my guitar player friends who attended...

    How do I leave feedback?

    I just had a great transaction and I'd like to leave positive feedback, but I can't recall/find the process for doing it. I've used the search, read the FAQ's, etc. So I thought someone wouldn't mind telling me how to do it. Thanks.

    Who can design a headstock shape?

    Hi. I'm preparing to do a custom parts bass and I'm working with USACG. They have an option to do one-off headstock shapes according to my design. Unfortunately, I'm artistically challenged so I'm wondering if any luthiers in the group can recommend or help me with a custom headstock shape...

    These videos should be stickied

    I just got a "new" 1996 Fender American Jazz Deluxe that was in need of a setup big time when I got it. I don't do too many setups from scratch -- usually just a tweak here or there but this bass needed the work before I could play it at all. I look at the stickied resources in this section...

    Pickguard needed for USACG Jay Jr. Body

    Hello TB. I ordered a custom bass body by USACG. It's a 5 string Jay Jr. (undersized J Bass). However, USACG recommends pickguardian as the place to order a pickguard. On their site it says they're attending to an emergency and not taking orders right now. Voicemail says to send an email...

    Knob replacement for J Retro Preamp

    I just bought John East J Retro Deluxe preamp for installation in a new bass. I love the preamp but I'm not a big fan of the big heavy chrome knobs. They won't look right with the more traditional bass I'm building. I was wondering if anyone has replaced the knobs and could give me a lead...
