    Double Bass Bowing on Gut Strings

    I’m in the market for a new bass bow and I’ve come across a few older models that are supposedly better with gut strings. I’m mostly a jazz player looking to use the bow for practice, however I was wondering what makes one bow better for gut strings than another. I am only interested in German...

    Here are two more video demos. Just recorded on an Iphone. One is showing it in 5ths tuning, as well as demonstrating how well this type of instrument (IMO) blends way better with amplified instruments than a violin family instrument typically would (mostly due to frets, i think) other demo is...

    Double Bass Playing Baroque Chamber Music

    So, my performance experience is primarily in jazz bass, with a decent amount of orchestral experience. A violinist friend of mine is having me play on her recital. For a sonata she’s doing by Francois Francoeur she’ll have a trio. I’ll be playing the continuo part on my double bass (she’s...

    Who needs Classical Gas when you could have Baroque GAS?

    Ok, perhaps this belongs over on the DB side, but it's really rather beautiful.

    Double Bass Baroque Sonatas at Pitch

    Have any of you guys tried the Marcello/Vivaldi cello sonatas at pitch? Marcello's 6th sonata lays really well that way and some of the others look like they probably would too, but it's still tricky enough in thumb position to be a fun challenge without sucking up months and months of practice...

    Due to degenerative disc issues, I am transitioning some of my double bass time to the bass guitar.

    Double Bass Why guts only for use in baroque music (classical)?

    Hi all, Of course I know guts are also used for slapping, old school jazz etc. But for classical music it is always just said that guts are "suitable for baroque music". Why is this? I mean, before 1900 or so all strings were gut and so ALL classical music was originally played on gut. Why is...
