Double Bass fingering for Strauss lick

[Calvin Marks]

How would you guys finger this very fast passage from Salome?

I am starting off as 3, +(g), 1(d) but then there are a few ways to go ..

Thx!

1-shift to a 1 on the e, 4 on c#, 1 on g#, 2 on lower E, 1 on d# and so on.
2-If you want to keep to your 3,+, 1 scheme, you'll make a 1-1 shift to the lower G#.
3-shift from your first finger C# to a 4th finger G# on the A string.

Try them all, but have you seen the rest of the opera?

Thanks! Really appreciate the help. Yep, the rest of it is equally a nightmare lol

Discovered the best fingering for me is:

3, -4 (e), 1, 1 (G#), 2, 4, 1 pivot last three

Here's a nice vid of that excerpt. (You can use the speed control to slow down what he does with that lick.)
