Hello. I have purchased several of the Vance books for self-study. I am trying to find recordings of the piano accompaniment without the example bass, but haven't been successful. Are there any recordings of these, or would I ALSO have to buy the piano books to get the recordings?

This is likely my final new post / thread in this forum (unless we want to create a Club thread). I've been looking for my "forever" (I hope..my wife insists) bass, upgrading from my entry level Bulgarian Kremona carved from 2K1. I was a frequent poster in the "basses for 5K" threads, hybrid vs...

I have been auditioning (and bonding with) this bass for almost a week. It's a German bass from GEWA...A Walther 11 in "Berlin Antik" finish. The sound is HUGE. The Pirastro Perpetuals I asked them to set it up with so I could A/B with my entry level carved are incredibly growly. Bowing is...

This is a brand new bass I'm trying out. It's a German factory bass, and I love the sound. But I noticed some warping on the ribs (the upper bouts), and I'm wondering if that's something to be concerned about. Here are some pictures.

Just wanted to thank this community for being so helpful and a great resource for me these last nine months as I've dedicated myself to DB. Looking back on TB, I was a pretty frequent poster in the electric side of the house under a different handle about 10-15 years ago! So time has flown. You...

About to pull the trigger, and it's down to a New Standard LaScala most likely, and something like this. https://www.gewamusicusa.com/item/.us403.750 PS Have not played this yet, but getting ready to take one home for a trial. It's a bit over my price range so determining whether it's worth the...

This sucks...I'm changing strings for the first time (literally a 19 year old bass). The A tuner has always been really hard to turn and now I have the new string wound on the bass, but as I'm trying to bring it to tension, the tuner "pops". Is there any way to fix this without replacing the...

I am loving the Erskine Jazz play-along apps. I only wish you could change the speed of them, but having the ability to "mix" the tracks and record yourself is awesome. Anyway, I bought Vol 2, and due to my ignorance on every standard...I can't figure out what a few of these tunes are supposed...

European fully-carved 3/4 double bass. Purchased new in 2001 from Gollihur in NJ, this bass was professionally set up locally with a new upgraded endpin and bridge, as well as fingerboard dressing. The action is currently set at its lowest and plays without buzzes, but the bridge is also...

Hello, everyone... Just need some advice on how to tackle something. I have an entry-level carved bass I bought back in 2001 and got it set up locally. At the time (and now) I didn't truly know what I was doing, and just had to trust the bass to be "good enough". All I knew it that the bass...
