Lemur Music BA243 Bjorn Stoll "Heidelberg" 5-string Double Bass

[@My_poops_hert]

I went to the shop They were going to let me play a 30k bass I'm just like no bad idea

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

LemurMusic It can also be tuned in Fifths (C, G, D, A, E) by using Pirastro Obligato Fifths tuned Double Bass Strings including a High E Solo String. Fifths tuning would've been a good option for the Baroque Era.

[@theepsteins3980]

i do really hope they start posting these again, this is the main place i go for all my bass knowledge and it would be great to have more

This just came up in my recommendation feed. Miss you, Jerry!

Simply beautiful!!!

[@MrHestichs]

That bass has some fantastic sub frequencys!

Mama Mia, I want one of those!

Bravo!

I once got to try out one of those!

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

This 5 String Double Bass is awesome cause aside from playing lower notes in an Orchestral, or Jazz setting, we can now play Gospel Music in an Unplugged setting.

🤔

[@austincarter9523]

It's a shame how expensive 5 string basses and extensions are, but I'm no luthier or bass maker, so I'm not completely sure if it's actually worth it or not

[@alfieharries]

You kind of need an extension at least if you want to work orchestrally anyway

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

They're more affordable these days

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

@@alfieharries The great thing about a 5 String Bass is that it eliminates the need to use an extension. You can also tune it in fifths with obbligato 5ths tuning strings plus a High E solo so it works as a Solo instrument.

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

@@alfieharries A 5 (or more) String Double Bass bypasses the need to have an extension cause the lower notes are easier to reach, plus you'll spend more time playing & less time setting up the extension.

[@alfieharries]

@@RockStarOscarStern634 yea 5s are great, i just triggered my rsi last time i had to use one for a gig, plus i dont like the change in tone that the extra tension puts on the bass. Definitely pros and cons to both

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

Now we can play Gospel Music in an Unplugged setting because you 5 String Bass players will be able to play Acoustically.

[@juliocesarpimentelsombra8799]

Fiquei impressionado com a fabricação e a sonoridade(com arco) deste instrumento,parece ter sido feito por anjos.Só acho que a 5ª corda para Pizzicato(Música popular) a torna inócua sem mencionar o encarecimento de um jogo de cordas desta natureza,agora para orquestras sinfônicas é o melhor que há!

[@LyR87]

Belcanto strings

[@AxelFuentesMusic]

MilhoesDeUsuarios I don't really know, the strings look like flexicors but I could be wrong. The only brand I know that makes a Low B string is Helicore by D'addario. The Low B string costs 53 USD.

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

Actually there is a Flexicor Low B.

[@19bassman70]

Cool! Low B sounds great!

[@DolphinLegend-bg8ph]

I know people say the B string is a C note lol

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

LemurMusic This Bass eliminates the need to use that C Extension. It's easier to play than a 4 String Bass in some ways cause you can play the lower notes on a Lower string.

[@anthonymelendez949]

You really don't need a C extension at all, instead of paying $1500 for an extension just tune down your E to a C and you have a perfect C with no -1/2 position or -1st I played on a extension bass before thinking that was amazing then found tuning the E down to a C is truly fantastic all around perfect

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

@@anthonymelendez949 Or even better I can get a 5 String Upright Bass with a growling Low B String

[@anthonymelendez949]

@@RockStarOscarStern634 I'm getting one custom commissioned from upton bass, a massive 4/4 5 string with a Low B to a C, completely delete the E since I don't need it, my new bass will be a orchestral only so i don't care about soloist tune or anything like that since I have my personal bass now I use for everything. Use my bass now for jazz, salsa, mariachi music, classical soloist to orchestral. So happy within a year to get my custom commissioned big bass

@@sonnydemontage I have a 5 string Electric Bass Guitar which has a Low B, it's ideal for all kinds of music.
