I have a very good old German DB in need of an 'MOT'. I bought the bass SH about 35 years ago and has given very good service. I think it is time to give it an 'MOT' to bring it to top notch condition. My question is: Who do you consider to be the best guy in the UK to do this--and really knows his double bass? Recommendations? Many thanks.

Those of you who bow: What are the best strings you have tried? Sets or mixture. Arco being my first choice--pizz secondary.

I have tried Silver Slaps. Good for pizz & slap---not very good on the bow. I currently have a set of Evah Pirazzi Weich on my bass---a good all round string for pizz / bow / slap. Suit me.

Tried various stings over the years and the best--for me- for volume & tone are Evah Pirazzi Weich. Good for pizz & arco.

Rabbie is spot on--Technique & Tone. I read an article by Ray Brown where he said that guys like him were brought up--in the 1940's---in big bands and had to project to be heard. No amps in those days.--hence there tone and volume. He said that the guys today are brought up with amps. A big difference.

Thanks Rabbie for that info. Yes it is a D neck--I never knew there was an Eb neck--'One learns something new every day!'

Scale length (Nut to bridge) is 42 and 7/8 inches. Total length of bass from tip of scroll to bottom of bass is 73 and 5/8 inches. I can't answer your question regarding 'D-neck' as I have never heard that term before. Hope the answers help.
