    Double Bass Looking for a longish-term rental bass in Berlin

    (Mods, please delete this if it's in the wrong place. I haven't posted here in ages and don't know the ropes anymore.) I'm living in Berlin, for the next one to two years, and my much-loved Schnitzer/de Sola bass is resting at my parents' house back in the US. I'd like to rent an instrument...

I'm open to most functional conditions and have never been afraid of a few battle scars. Either color is fine...

    Jeff Berlin says ' What you do is what matters, not what you think, say or plan!

    This isn't my quote, but isn't it s great one? I really was taken with it when I read it a little while ago. Consider the view that people seek teachers that will inspire them. I suggest that you might want to reconsider this view because you aren't going to improve your bass playing by waiting...

    Jeff Berlin says - Christopher Hitchens Can Teach Us All a Lot

    Read these Christopher Hitchens quotes and compare what you read with how you have entrusted bass teachers and schools to influence you.

    Jeff Berlin says - Being a Fan is Hurting Your Playing!

    In a previous post, I wrote that a lesson offered by another bass player had flaws in it. I asked people not to state his name as I had no wish to make things personal.

    Jeff Berlin says = Question Everything that Bass Players Teach You. Question me, too!

    Recently, I saw a video of a popular bass player discussing certain aspects of theory by stating that there are more than 12 keys. It’s not important who said this. Out of respect for him, if you know who I am discussing, please do not mention his name as I don’t wish to make my discussion...

    Jeff Berlin says - Bass Teachers Work Harder at Fixing Learning Concepts That Don't Require Fixing

    Has anyone noticed some bass teachers' attempts to take concepts of academic learning and try to make them easier to understand instead of encouraging bass students to learn them in their present form? My question is to ask what is wrong with learning music as almost every other academic student...

    Jeff Berlin asks - Post Bass Lines that Got You to Practice with a Metronome

    This is a lit-up James Brown rhythm section, another version of top players playing in time together but never using a metronome to acquire their in-synch time skills. It is such a tight performance that it got me to thinking; so many bass players must regard using a metronome as helping to...

    How has bass education improved your playing?

    Jeff Berlin says - Learning Well Doesn't Replace Anything You Love About Bass

    I mentioned this in a couple of other posts, but this might be a good thing to repeat here.

Learning well is an addition to your musical lives, not a replacement...

    Jeff Berlin says - Every Slapper and Rocker at NAMM Is Self Taught

    This thread can put a perspective on bass education in a much more practical manner.

There are a lot of famous guys there as well and they can share how they learned if you ask them...

    Jeff Berlin - What happened to your involvement in the Players School?

    Jeff Berlin asks - Why Do Some Object to My Educational Views

    I'm not here to start a discussion on Jeff's playing or his philosophies.

So with that in mind I recently took the hit and purchased his lesson packages to see what he was...
