I recently found and bought an old German Bass. Everyone's best guess seems to be "old German" and possibly Juzek from sometime between 1880 and 1920(ish). Gamba style bout. The only label inside is a repair label with Germany on it. Obviously restored with fingerboard, hatpeg tuners, endpin and...

I think I have figured out from reading here and from my own experience that each bass responds differently to different strings. I think it is a string tension thing. My question is how can I tell what kind of string tension a bass "wants" or responds to best? Two examples: 1) I have a...

Looking for a good way to attach a smart phone to my bass on the upper bout next to the neck. I play with some folk that tend to speed up. I sometimes follow them. I have been using the Live BPM App to know when we are speeding up, so I can try to stop the speed-up and maybe bring things back...

Anyone on here with experience using a Shaw Tube Injection Preamp/DI? Especially with a Fishman Full Circle pickup? I'm looking to improve the amplified sound of my bass. The Grace Felix seems very complete, but more expensive and more complicated (a lot more knobs to bump). The Shaw TI seems...

I've been working on my reading and bowing skills seriously for about a year and a half. I'm ready to play some (simple) pieces with someone else. I have a friend that plays classical guitar. He's agreed to "play along" with me, but I need to pick the pieces. I'm not very familiar with classical...

I've looked through the threads and didn't see (or missed) what I'm looking for. I've played upright and guitar bass for many years. Now my 9 year old grandson wants me to teach him. I've never taught bass, and had very few lessons myself. I'm looking for a good beginner's book that I can lead...
