And determination and a real love of the instrument can sometimes be better for an individual case than a blanket 'go to a teacher' approach. And double bass has changed my life too. The pandemic left me struggling with agoraphobia and a fear of driving - well you can't rehearse or gig with a double bass on public transport so I had to cork my bottle of demons and get on with driving myself about with my bass. 2 Quote
bassace Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago Reminds me of the time I started a new school. Went into the assembly hall and saw a double bass on the empty stage. Just there. On its side. I’m not ashamed to say it was love at first sight and it informed my life for the next sixty years. 1 Quote
