Thank you for the great video. Do you know of a stand that you can play with the bass sitting in the stand? I am a beginner with some physical limitations, and this would solve a lot of problems if something like this exists.

My birthday 😮

Good beginner tips for those without a proper bass teacher

I love you man bun guy

This is very helpful. I'm a cellist wanting to learn bass, and I just got my bass yesterday. I have both French and German bows to try. I have severe nerve pain in my right arm when playing cello. Interestingly, I didn't experience this when playing with either style bass bow the last 2 days. However, because of my history of nerve/wrist pain when playing cello, is one bow or the other generally considered more ergonomic?

And what about the opposite: coming from Double bassiste to electric bass?

Thanks so much... this is a great review and so very helpful.

Ah yes: the piece I nicknamed death by double bass

Im gonna have to mark that high F and E 😂 Oh lord have mercy Good thing I have until february lol

Update: finally got this one (not that tempo tho lol) Now I have to learn Berceuse 😭 I cant with thumb position 😂

… You are complaining all the time about not having anything to hum back home and here I am following the video waiting for You to play the etude (almost sonata) in ninth position… and You skipped it… You B… ! I enjoyed the apex of my bass learning playing that tune ! ... I still hum it today : D

Hello thanks to share I try to switch bass guitare to double bass. I can see it’s not easy. I love so much double bass. Because Jazz is my favorite style of music. I imagine lot of Time is necessary for practice correctly. In septembre I go to music school for a teacher. Thank you so much for your KZbin vidéo Phil

Hey, casual nerdy Fender Connoisseur here, a 1952 Fender PBass would be a slab body so not quite what you have. Essentially a '52 would be a fat telecaster lol. The one you have is very likely a 57-59 just from the Gold guard/Sunburst/Maple board combo alone. I'd definitely get it checked out to see the true year, it's a killer bass for sure!

classic

Great video! I noticed that during the two octave scales you played a natural harmonic on the high Gs. Do upright players typically go for the "12th fret harmonic" rather than fingering it normally?

😍

You lost me on the spider. You can work on finger indepence without resorting to non musical exercises.

This is exactly what I am looking for. I took a few lessons in music school but it has been several years and I am coming back to Double bass. Thank you for this content!

I think you have been gifted the ultimate P-bass. Congratulations!

Dang it Jason, where was this video when I got my double bass five years ago??!!?? 😄😄👍👍

I started on double bass then added electric bass later, and just applied what I knew from upright without ever having any lessons on electric. Everything feels easier, there's less effort and energy expenditure so you can play and concentrate for longer if needed (and it's easier to carry around, with less risk of damage!)

I use 1-2-4 fingering on electric too up til the 7th fret or so cause my hands are too small!

Cool electric basses! I bet you'll get a bunch of nerd comments on them, like this -. That P-Bass isn't 1952, more like 1957-59. The Dan Armstrong is heavy as heck but be aware it has a unique pickup design, vertically stacked coils; the "tone control" actually is a blend control for the 2 coils. Two very nice old basses.

I self transitioned to upright bass, thanks to a few very good online teachers 😉 I marked positions of 3rd 5th and 7th 'frets'. I recently bought a french bow. I'm glad I'm good enough to play in a music school jazz band (I'm 52 by the way 😊).

i play double bass

Excellent

You have a 1957 model P-Bass. 51 or 54 are very different.

Wow, those electric basses are awesome! I suppose your P bass is from 1958-1959. Very cool! Nice video, thanks 😊

I got to work with him recently at the KC Bassfest! It was absolutely amazing!

What affordable bow do you recommend? By affordable, I mean a bow that costs less than a car payment or a house payment. I know bow making is a true skill, but I am not a professional musician. I am just a long time musician learning a new skill. Also, French or German? I have played violin, so I am comfortable holding a violin bow. Is German bow easier for bass?

❤❤❤

I attended the recital Dr. Scales is referring to. I had a masterclass with him the next day as well. Great teacher! Great performer! Great Resource!

The Kaplans are definitely closer to your heart as can be heard in your vibrato / feel !

Solid groove and epic tone! I love it

If I renewed my wedding vows, I would definitely have this song played!

Great interview!

My thinking is that the placement is a huge chunk of why Nadine sounds so good. I have an inexpensive Audix F90 condenser in roughly the same place, and it sounds great thru an amp. Yeah you need to EQ for the room, but with a sensitive mic so close to a resonant chamber such as an upright bass that is unavoidable.

Does anyone know what the instrumentation for this concerto is? How many brass and woodwind parts?

I really appreciate it ❤ Thank you so much!!

KONTRABASS SUCKS !!!

you look like Ken Shamrock and that dude from Faith No More... it depends on the angle sir

I've just bought one. Does it matter which way round (left to right / right to left) the ergobass is attached to a double bass?

This video really helpful to solve my problem 😢🎉 thank you so much!!!

Fantastic video as always! very informative and triggering questions and experiments in everyone, which is the most important thing! bravo! now I just want to try to play standing with the ergo bass, hahahahahaha!

What a good explication! But What MPC machine do you have? thanks 🎸

Очень приятное соло!Thank you very nice!😢

I live in Charleston and I was actually taught by Mr hales but I call him Mr Christon my name is RJ if he ends up seeing this

muito bom

That low C in Heldenleben was thunderous. Almost sounded like a heavy metal bass guitar type tone. Amazing playing; thanks for sharing this and discussing these excerpts.

Beautiful control ❤
