Double Bass Rubank Americana Collection for String Bass

[RNJBass]

The concert band I'm in uses this collection for performances, I hate doubling on tuba music! I've looked on Amazon, Sheetmusic plus, eBay and some other online sources without success - can anyone tell me where I can find a copy of this?

There is no string bass book. It's arranged for marching band so you'll have to stick with the tuba book.

Hi Steve,

There actually used to be a 'String Bass' book - in fact if you look in the back of the conductor score it is still listed there. But current production just says 'Basses' which is basically Tuba. I called Hal Leonard on this, they said its out of production. No luck on eBay, so I figured I would try my luck here.

I'm actually switching back and forth from 'Basses' and 'Baritone' - but I'd love to get my hands on the old 'String Bass' version.

I stand corrected. Good luck finding a copy.
