0:49 Converting this 3 String Bass into a 4 String would actually require making a new neck that has a Seperate Block so that it's stronger.

Double Bass Strings used to be expensive years ago cause they used to be Sheep Gut Strings, but nowadays players prefer Steel Strings such as Helicore from D'addario.

What is the music you've used in the intro to this video? Who is playing? Thanks :)

Thank you! It's Louis Couperin, Chaconne in D minor, played by Yonit Kosovske from her album 'La Gracieuse: French chaconnes, passacailles and préludes' (2010).
