Members bigby Posted July 22, 2006 Members Share Posted July 22, 2006 Very nice Bassius! I have to admit, I've always had double bass envy. The tones...the sound...physicality of playing...ahhhhhh...one of these days. Bass in it's purest form...I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassman1956 Posted July 22, 2006 Members Share Posted July 22, 2006 My biggest comment is this: Ever since all of this neck and nerve {censored} started 12 years ago, I've been lucky when I can play upright at all, let alone with the the higher action that Bassius uses. Which is really within the common range for an upright. Sure, it gives you the ability for much greater volume and emphasis on tone, and attack, and aids in bowing cleanly, and probably a few other things. But it also takes 2 to 3 times the strength for fingering cleanly, and I'm in retrain-the-muscles mode. I cheat, and drop my adjustable bridge as low as I can get away with for pizz., about 1/4" to 5/16" string heighth at the end of the fingerboard. I hope some day to play as good as him in that video.

Members Richy Posted July 22, 2006 Members Share Posted July 22, 2006 Three points: 1. My desire for a URB has now become a physical need. 2. You've got someone who teaches you? How good must that guy be! 3. Post more. I don't even know what "arco stuff" is, but I feel my life is empty without seeing it. (I just hope it isn't "This is how to change a string!")

Members funkrockfreedomfighter Posted July 22, 2006 Members Share Posted July 22, 2006 I liked the video a lot! Proper URB technique is a huge turn on for me. You could probably cut out the gear stuff out of the video if you wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bassman1956 Posted July 23, 2006 Members Share Posted July 23, 2006 Incredible stuff! Now, if you ever get to a point that you want professional videos, my brother is an excellent freelance vidiographer, mostly trades/commercials/training films/etc., with a few decades experience, and was a bass player. I'm sure he'd do your efforts justice. Just a thought if you go to that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassman1956 Posted July 23, 2006 Members Share Posted July 23, 2006 I have to add, you seem incredibly comfortable even in the thumb positions. And your method certainly is a mix! I have no sweat with those positions on a bass guitar. But when I'm on upright, I feel lost somewhat. The plus is my familiarity with them on bg is helping. But, it's certainly not natural yet. And with my neck problems, I just about never pick up the URB any more. Maybe soon, now that things are taming down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
