    Double Bass Aquila Strings on a 39' Bass

    Hi guys, Anyone has any experience with Aquila Gold Springs (gut or synthetic) on a 39 inch (scale) bass? I have spirocores on which feel great, but I miss the gut sound. Not sure if there is any gut or gut-a-like string that works with a smaller bass. I think gut strings prefer a 40-41 inch...

    Double Bass Sam Jones Sound

    Sam Jones is one of my favorite bassists. I am amazed by his sound. Do you have any theories how he could achieve that bright, crunchy, aggressive gut sound? I think it's very rare to hear bassists today getting that old school sound, even with gut strings. Usually it's much darker and dull. Do...

    Double Bass Cleaning gut strings

    Hello. I use plain gut strings D&G and wrapped A&E. After 6 months they have lost some brightness and volume. I oil the plain ones regularly and I dry them off with a cloth after playing. But how would you remove dirt in a way that's not harmful?
