Hi Dear All, Exquisitely thrilled to post! Beginning this January I have been blessed with a second double bass in my posession. Now do I wonder on how to adjust this specific instrument into a more baroque bass. Last year there was an opportunity to play Henry Purcell his compositions and...

Victor Pawlowsky Contrabass: It is a gift. The original owner bought the bow for ten dutch guilders (tien gulden florijn), which roughly calculates to... €5,-.... it is featherlight and I use a german grip/underhand bowhold with it. シ

Dear All, have I genuinely lost it by not caring about first and foremost double bass gear, it is an acoustic instrument after all, secondmost setup, get it done proper to your liking by an established double bass luthier!, and lastmost... strings, the audience does not care! What the audience...

Bought it used: Everything stock, quite an astonishing instrument both in looks and sound.

Hi! During the covid-19 lockdown I purchased the most affordable electric bass at the local guitar store. On its headstock it wore the mark "Phoenix", which now is sanded off and replaced with a sharpie-marking "Maria". It currently is strung with piano strings, this due to the fact...

Dear All, it was my pleasure to have been given the opportunity to perform at a museum where I had the free choice of my own personel. Despite the face the gig had been announced approximately three months ahead, we, the band had absolutely zero rehearsals together and the results have been...

Just picked this up from the local sheet music store in the area: Approximately twelve years ago I purchased book 1 from Albersen Bladmuziek. Unfortunately and recently Henk, who sold me my copy of book 1, had to retire due to health reasons. -I wish him good health! On the way back I...

Dear all, At the beginning of this year I purchased Solo Tuning Strings and started experimenting with tuning the bass up and down in pitch. The tunings are a whole step higher (WsH) and a half step lower (HsL) and higher (HsH). Now there are five different tunings possible, which are the...

I am curious on how everybody interprets the famous page ten of the classic red book. I encourage you to record your take on it. Tempo? Arco? Pizzicato? Legato? Forte?! All is well I say. Even better yet, different interpretations by the same musician piques my curiosity. ;) Please do not...

Purchased this for a dear friend of mine, but until then... it is mine! Hihi! The previous owner strung it with La Bella 760FHBB strings.

Hi there, does anyone do any photography as a hobby/profession? Here are three photos that I took: I am currently trying to create my own style, but it still is a hard thing to do. P.S. I break quite a lot of photography "rules"...

Hey there T'Bers, I was not sure where to post this, but I wanted to share with all of you my feelings on picking up the double bass again after a break for quite a considerable amount of time. There was no real reason for me to suddenly drop the instrument, but it just happened... About my...

Hi there folks, Here is my Fender AVRI '63 Precision Bass set up with La Bella's Deep Talkin' Flats: If you are interested, I have a lowish quality video of it in action: The only adjustment I've made was moving the mute closer towards the pickup.
