    Double Bass Lyrical Solo Arco Songs

    Hi there, I’m having hard time finding double bass solo albums with lots of bowed melodies that are not classical per se but the double bass arco still sounds pure and lyrical. Most non classical solo works are experimental and the arco is deliberately out of tune, lots of screeching, etc...

    Double Bass Question about musical hardware trend sites

    Hi there! Forgot my password from my 15+ year old account so I made a new one. And I must appologize for my English. It's my third language. Long story short: started a job in musical instrument shop and I am shocked that none of my collegues are following trends/news from musical hardware...

    Help! I Need Some Great Rockin’ Broadway Show Tunes

    I forgot I volunteered my band to participate in a Broadway Tribute Show with about 6 local bands. Big venue, full production and the radio station putting this on promotes like mad and it will probably sell-out. I need suggestions for a 1/2 hour set. I can choose songs from any shows I want. I...

    Weird musical notation?

    Hi bassists, I'm doing a production of My Fair Lady and keep finding these weird marks all over the book with the instruction (?) "tew tew tew". It's not a problem for the show but was just curious if anyone had seen this before and knows what it means of if it's maybe just an obscure joke/quirk...

    Your peak musical experiences - talk about 'em!

    Music, musical instruments, and guilt.

    So truth be told, I've retired from music for about a year, ever since I took up a "serious" (well, as serious as I can take myself for) job. I play bass sometimes. I play sax sometimes. But looking back on the years with more "friends" that moved on, the money I've invested into music, the time...

    Storing a cab in the car or garage

    Is taking care of a bass cabinet somewhat like taking care of a resonating musical instrument? It's made of wood and glue just like an acoustic guitar, and I wouldn't keep the guitar in the garage or leave it in the car, right?

    after many years with a popular band, the last 3 have been an odyssey of stops and starts -- bands that all of the sudden can't find bookings. bands run by ******.
