OK folks my function band has gone pear shaped and I am not feeling the elc bass much really so I really need to see if I can find a tutor and get my mojo on with the upright. I have been working through Geoff's discover double bass lessons online which as we know are excellent and if I cant find anyone local I might have to take a drive up to see him in person yet.
I could do with some pointers regarding the bow and a tutor to try my bows out to see if they are ok etc likewise my DB just in case I have some glaring issues I have missed, very possible!
I am based near Stafford but google does not bring much stuff up at all, I have found this guy

Tim Toft's are quite near to me so I was thinking I should ring them and ask if they know a local tutor too?
Any thoughts or suggestions?
I am listening to David Wong playing with Hank Jones to get me in the zone, which I am liking a lot
