    Pignose Hog 30 Amp?

    I've had a Hog20 - smaller version of the Hog30, same 12volt batteries smaller 6" speaker - for years. With some modification, it beats the heck out of all the battery operated "bass amps" I've tried. I took it apart and re-housed it with a nice 8" bass speaker from Eminence. . I play...

    Double Bass practice mutes for BD.any good?

    When I want the big fella way quiet and I still need to practice I thread a bandana through the strings at the bridge. With experimentation you can still hear the pitch (though muffled) and work out the left and right hand.

    Double Bass Gut-sounding, non-gut strings for that LaFaro sound

    Here's my two cents Clarky, Recently a luthier friend suggested I try lower tension, than spiro mittel strings on my bass - a christopher hybrid. I play Americana and Jazz - almost all pizz. Contrary to fretless55's comment "(stay away from the Inno. RABs)" I've had partial success with...

    Double Bass using bass lines to teach other instruments

    Recently I stumbled on an inverse learning tool of your idea. I have been playing around with a mandolin - which is tuned upside down from the bass: G D A E. (in 5ths going up) I have found it challenges my aural conception of chords and harmony because often the root of the chord is in the...

    Gathering thoughts and ideas on a small DC powered bass amp; DIY or otherwise.

    A simpler battery powered amp: Some decent suggestions here but some are too far into the weeds. Our friend just needs enough oomph to back up a small acoustic outfit. I recently took apart a Pignose Hog-20 (20 watts)which operates on two 6 volt (12v in series) lead acid batteries. (motorcycle...

    Double Bass Playing the I7 as an approach note from I to IV?

    With other folks emphasizing the b7 as a leading note to the IV chord - either in the vocals or high note instrumentation like mando or banjo - the last thing the bass wants to do is jump on that note too. As a melodic flourish, that 7th needs a home base to jump off of. You're home bass! Try...

    Double Bass The Concept of "Opening Up"

    Though it's not exactly the same question, here's a link to an article about an interesting study (double blind) comparing real 300 year old Strad violins to modern ones. Very few of the professional players could pick out the "old violin."...

    Double Bass For the doublers...

    Going back to your original post, and considering that you are a serious music student, I would suggest reconsidering your assumption that you just can't afford a real upright or the lessons. I played electric for 3+ years and had all kinds of unsubstantiated reasons NOT to try upright, from...

    Double Bass Playing more like a cello makes an unbelievable difference for technique

    Very interesting thread I've been experimenting with these sitting techniques with positive results also. Chris, In the picture you posted (of you?) it looks like there's a velvet hair tie over the strings just above the nut. Is that some kind of mute? Thanks

    Double Bass Any Late Bloomers? (DB Forum thread)

    I started on Bass Guitar 4 years ago - at 54 years old. I bought a beat up 3/4 Cremona for $200 16 months ago. I've had one lesson and read a lot on technique. It's easier to hurt yourself when your older and harder to build muscle, but don't let that stop you! I play in two bands now...

    Why cant we all read?

    Seems to me (though I haven't read all of the posts) folks are missing an important distinction. One can understand all the theory of music and notation, and even write great music and still not be able to sight read. For example, Dave Bruebeck has written and scored amazing pieces of music but...
