Salam dari Indonesia (Greetings from Indonesia)

Hi,
Actually i've been a member since january last year and being an "active" silent reader LOL
This forum had helped me alot reviewing gears and technique, talk me out of stupid GAS decision making.

I've been playing bass since teenage. First i got into guitar then drumming, then the first time i saw Abraham Laboriel Sr. on this Don Moen DVD at my church music gathering, i was blown away. I knew i NEED to be a bass player haha..

Went to music institute, majoring in contrabass, dropped out cause unsufficient fund and lack of motivation LOL

Can't say much about my playing, i'm not a pro musician but i try my best to improve my skills and staying GAS-free (which is a struggle everyday haha)

Not playing/gigging anywhere, just an occasional practice with my fellow music teachers. O yeah i teach classical guitar for beginner.

So..there.

Regards,
Victor

PS: Pardon my grammar.

Salam Victoralam. What type of DB are you playing? Humidity effect it much?
im playing an indonesian made Nityo 3/4 DB (the luthier passed away last year, God bless his soul)..

the neck is maple with rosewod fingerboard..the top body is spruce and the rest is mahogany..
it's not that humid here..i mean i read about double basses fell-apart from humidity but i guess it's not THAT humid :D

but once in a while i put a cotton-ball with some menthol-oil inside of it..dont really know why and how but it always make the DB sound more "crispy" (?)
