Vox 870 September 4, 2015 Share September 4, 2015 Don't really know what to expect to come out of this thread, but i'm just going to throw it out there. This thread is for any of you fellow bass players out there, be it the acoustic double bass or the modern bass guitar. Feel free to discuss gear, techniques, styles of music, etc. I'll start.... I currently play a Fender Standard 5 string Electric Jazz bass guitar in standard black. I'm also a (learning) double bassist. I play a Samuel Shen acoustic upright and a German Schmidt bow.

Biggybrony 244 September 4, 2015 Share September 4, 2015 I'm a guitarist who has a bass, thus I am probably lacking in some crucial bass technique. It'll probably do me a lot of good to get into it properly. I can read bass clef fairly well and there's probably a lot more bassist work to be found. I'm not a medical expert, psychologist, psychiatrist, teacher or love doctor. Take my words with a pinch of salt, yeah? I am an experienced cook, musician and care worker though, so that's something.

Envy 6,406 September 4, 2015 Share September 4, 2015 (edited) Well, I just got a bass clarinet. It's the best kind of bass. =P No, I'm just kidding... In being rude like that about it, anyway. xD The (double/upright) bass is pretty neat, though. I've always loved the walking bass in jazz and jazz-influenced music. But I can't say I've ever really wanted to play one. Although I know someone in my family who does, so who knows? We might get one someday...

Pone 141 September 4, 2015 Share September 4, 2015 (edited) Bassplayers, I have a question. What is your opinion on this guy?

-Octavia- 1,176 September 4, 2015 Share September 4, 2015 (edited) Darn, just missed it by an octave or so...violoncellist here. Technically it plays the role of bass in a string quartet, but more often than not I do believe it is considered a tenor instrument. Ah well. I shall let you bass in peace.

True, and even if the notes of the individual strings on a Cello are different from the bass, the pizzicato and bowing technique is still nearly identical for both instruments.

Splashee 28,599 February 28, 2020 Share February 28, 2020 I remember hearing @Cagey might be playing the bass. I am only emulating bass playing through a synthesizer. I never expect to be able to play a real bass, but if I had one, I would practice every day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey 4,258 February 28, 2020 Share February 28, 2020 I’ve been summoned. I do play the bass, and I’m a quick learner, but I’m still an amateur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
