    Double Bass Right Hand Technique

    I’ve been a casually player for 20+ years. I have had some right hand pain issues for a little while. I plan to meet with another teacher who might have some insights into how to resolve this. One possible explanation of the pain that I have in my right wrist could be a result of my two...

    Is anyone aware of a website or other source that provides what type of gear pro players are using? I would be curious to know specifically what types of basses, pick-ups, strings, amps etc some pro players prefer.

    I've heard great things about the Cleveland hybrid bass but I haven't been able to find one to play around the Boston area? Does anyone know of anyone selling a Cleveland Hybrid bass or is there anyone that could let me play just to see how it sounds?

    Double Bass Bass Shopping

    I have a few questions as I continue my quest for a new bass. Is anyone familiar with a bass with a model of "L606"? The private sale vendor isn't sure, but believes it might be from Korea which I'm concerned about. I hope that it might be an Eastman because the bow that comes with it is an...
