    Double Bass Let’s Compare a Cheap Chinese Bow to a Fine European Bow

    Just got an advanced German snakewood bow from Jimmy at Wangbow. $360 with shipping. Very nice workmanship, well balanced, beautiful wood. Very graceful looking stick with plenty of backbone but still very responsive. Well haired wide ribbon. My other bows are a Chinese pernambuco, which is...

    Double Bass So Gerold’s cooking up something new...

    I have a set of their early strings. When I put these on my 1st bass, I did move the post a little further away. With less tension to drive the top it makes sense. I took them off that bass after a year when I had a problem with the G. I went to other strings on that bass. When I finished my 2nd...

    Maybe a little more string height, maybe not. Depends on scoop of your fingerboard. Big difference from Perpetuals, I didn't care for them too much. Comparison is like Wizard of Oz when they get to the emerald city, everything is in color ;-)

    Rob I had Temperas on for close to a year but no experience with Sonores. When I bought them they were sold as an arco string. They sound good pizz but are not going to growl. I would not consider them a jazz string. I would think they are great for solo and orchestral work on a darker bass than...

    Double Bass Maestro Petracchi's Gaetano Rossi

    Thanks Casey, I wrote to Marco Noli and he confirmed the sizes listed in the folio, although he was tight lipped about anything else I asked;). The folio ,which arrived yesterday BTW, is gorgeous! Plastic laminated 3-fold with shots of front, back, sides and full size views of the side, back and...

    Double Bass Maestro Petracchi's Gaetano Rossi

    I'm building a model of this bass in 3/4 size but wondering if anyone has the actual measurements. There is a poster that I was told lists length as 121 cm and lower bout 72.2cm. Really? Wow! At 5'7" I don't think it would be my personal bass.

    Double Bass How to approach Petracchi - Simplified Higher Technique

    Thanks Neil, I will continue using the 3rd finger approach. It demonstrated that it was collapsing so I think work on thumb placement behind the neck is in order. Petracchi method, good stuff.

    Double Bass How to approach Petracchi - Simplified Higher Technique

    A quick question for the Petracchi folks. For ex 2b, my copy shows using fingers 1,3,4 starting at the open G all the way up to thumb position on the D. 1&3 for a 1/2 step. I watched this guy-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIAkbd25jG8 play it and he is using 1,2,4 like a standard fingering...

    IMO Tempera's are very similar to Velvet Compas 180 pizz and even more responsive arco. That's why I'm here ;-)

    I can't help with how they are playing in an orchestra but I had belcantos on previously. The tempera are much clearer in every position and I don't think the tension is that much lower.

    I'm hoping for 3 years anyway. That would equal the cost of new Corelli's every 6 months which are barely almost usable arco but suck harder than an industrial vacuum pizz

    I'm 3 months in and they are mellowing in nicely. The clarity is amazing and pizz is a surprise treat. I'm still playing 90% arco but now that the cloud of virus is lifting I can meet up with my old jazz friends and I'll be hearing "Hey, no arco on this tune! :)" I think these will last for a...

    "Yeah, I think you put the strings on, play 'em for awhile, and then decide whether to tweak setup." Good advice! I cut a solid bridge a little higher, touched up my fingerboard and played with the sound post some but I finished the bass a year ago and it needed some attention anyway. The...

    Sorry to hear that, after your long wait and the$$$ for the new bridge, drag. Did they come apart at the peg end?

    Double Bass So Gerold’s cooking up something new...

    OK my 2 cents. I've only had them on for 2 days and I'm very happy. These are like Compas 180 on steroids. Tension is about the same, pizz is easily better and arco is lovely, much easier and cleaner than the velvets and the tone is beautiful. You barely have to touch the strings with the bow...

    Yeah, I get it but Yikes $60+ for rosin to add to my Nymans, Kohlstein, Oak, Pops and 4 grades of Salzman Symphony. Well at least they give you 2 chances to pick the right grade! My Temperas are on the way so I guess I'll give it some thought.

    Maybe the holidays gumming things up or customs? DHL is pretty good here. I get wood from Romania 5-6 business days. I'm glad yours are on the way, I haven't heard about my order yet. It's a funny thing, the closer you are to getting a new set of strings, the worse your old ones sound.
