Such an unbelievable player.
HE IS THE BASS.
I tried to play this once with a piano player.
It was really really hard.

Amazing. And yes, rick’s got the whole will you shut the hell up Scott Devine thing going on. Edit: although the tribute to the past players at the end was touching, nicely done.

Pam are you taking any upright specific lessons or just figuring it out on your own?

Yes, I’m taking the Bowing Technique Course and the Jazz Bowing Course on DiscoverDoubleBass.com. I’ve also watch a few videos on YouTube regarding posture, standing or sitting, how to set the bass height etc. Other than that, it’s just a matter of transferring my knowledge of the bass guitar to the upright.
After I complete those two courses on DiscoverDoubleBass, I’m thinking I might take their Beginner to Bandstand (B2B) Course LOL

Okay everyone, you don’t have to have an interest in upright bass to enjoy this. Watch the two girls as they switch between pizzicato and arco

I read this, and scrolled down a bit, and missed your answer, and I saw that you got an apology from the group leader, and there were bans issued.
Did you stay in the group, and do you find that most of them there are not A holes?

Yes , I’m still in the group and they are very helpful. There are even quite a few EUB players.

Yes, I noticed there are a couple more. I think the older man is a double bass instructor and the others are his students.

Well, you managed to convince me to use my cramped space to get more basses, so I’m sure you could find a spot
