Edgar Meyer's recordings of Bach's cello suites are sublime as well! I also enjoy David Friesen's modern approach, and Glen Moore's bass compositions.

I'd love that pdf, if you don't mind sharing!

I'd also point out that a higher string action will make your instrument project better and also let you dig in more. Of course, you might have a high action already... I'm sure the riser will help. When I got my first bass guitar, I haven't had an amp for a while. Practicing, sitting on my bed, I've noticed that the bass was amplified by the one-piece headboard that I pushed the bass' body onto by accident. I played in that spot all the time. 🙂

Definitely have it professionally appraised before proceeding down any route to sell it. There's a few luthiers and sellers in the uk that are specialized and/or knowledgeable with basses.

It depends on the individual instrument, as sizing is nonstandard. Measure the playing lenght on your instrument and refer to the string maker's specifications. You can put on a string that's longer than needed, but you can't fit one that's too short...

Thanks for the encouragement!

There's several that others have tried and used with success. Pirasteo Permanentt, Tomastic Belcanto are some. Both warmer than spiros, permanents are a bit brighter than belcanto Mind you, this will have to be a trial and error to see what works for the bass and for you.

Great work! I have an open seam and been thinking about fixing it myself. This thread definitely makes me question if I had the patience and perseverance to do just a fraction of what you've achieved there... I'm subscribed for this!

I love that! Thanks!

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Let me know how you like the oud group!

Did you buy it?

That's a wonderful studio album to listen to as well! The Rite of Strings It must have been amazing live!

Thanks for the invitation. See below... 🙂

Also me on bass guitar: (Excuse the Spotify link...) https://open.spotify.com/track/0esDjPA17xjd8VyMjTM6Xe?si=2GWZYkkLQAaOiJeh6eJRLg

And this is the album of my world music group, where I play the oud and my friend Mischa Stevens plays wonderful bass: https://badoretimusic.bandcamp.com/album/black-soup

Thats me on double bass in a piano trio:

Yes! They have a full album out. It's great.

This is from last year. The trio's percussionist, Mischa happens to be a wonderful electric bass player also. I loved this project as there was so much sensitivity in our approach to each other.

James Oesi's Trio album. It's bass heaven.

Hi everyone, I'm Bado, Scotland based musician. I have been playing bass guitar for 30+ years and double bass for 25. I do a lot of original music, a fusion trio, a harp and double bass duo, a world music group and also sideman work with singers, and a 50's r'n'r band. I've composed four full scores for theatre and continue to explore different avenues of expression with multiple instruments and diverse lineups. I play a Shen double bass with a wonderful Dolling german bow and spirocore weich strings. My main bass guitars are a '94 Yamaha TRB5F fretless with heavy Rotosound '66's and an '80 Hohner P-bass copy with light LaBella flats. I play through a TC Classic 450 combo which was a kind of prototype or first version of the rebel heads with a 2x10 cab that accommodates the head. It's neat and loud and transparent, that I like. I have had an account here a good while ago, but being also a father of two, I didn't have a lot of time for forums. I came back on to participate in discussions, share opinions and learn about gear and exciting music from all of you.
