I carry my bows in the compartments of my bass bag that are made just for that purpose. Carrying a separate container for bows means one additional thing to have to keep up with going to and from the gig. Add that to music folders, stands, pedals, cables, etc., and it usually translates into something being left behind, making a return trip in either direction to retrieve it a huge pain in the "arpeggio." Ask me how I know! No wait, don't ask. 😖🤣
I've just recently discovered 'blackwing' pencils
Uma nova aventura
I know this video was made awhile ago- I am just diving into it- but I have to ask what is that program you are using that is keeping track of your practice time?
It's a cool app called Modacity. You can check it out at www.modacity.co/ and I also shot a tutorial about it here: ua-cam.com/video/AmH9nyVs_B8/v-deo.html
Bass Gods
Amazing
Thanks!
Can you lean the bass in the corner using the robpin? Great video as usual.
Thanks! I think you can leave it in the corner with the Rob Pin, though I actually haven't tried it myself. My bass corner is pretty small…. 😀
I've been playing standing up with a straight end pin for 20 years. I've never gotten along with sitting, but I'm not averse to it, but being 6'3", either borrowing a bass with a long enough endpin or finding a stool that is the lauded Goldilocks height is unlikely. Your video on the RobPin has been haunting me since I first watched it! 😂 I think I'll need to measure my bass and get an order placed soon!
it's a cool device for sure! I've really been enjoying using it.
You're my hero ❤ Thank you so much!
You're welcome, and thanks for the kind words!
Aw Jason. That’s fantastic. Brilliant superb work. I’m blown away by it. Magic playing, well done 🙏
Thanks so much!
As a bassist I felt that
素晴らしいベーシストですね👏👏👏 音楽性、演奏技術、独創性、音色、どれをとっても神がかり的な演奏家ですね〜✨💐
Love this piece ❤ learning it rn lol
Rock on!
9:59
Quite personal imho
Love it! Thanks for posting!! 😊
Cannot recommend the Ergo Bass highly enough.
Nice symphony
The Jeff Denson trio actually starts at 24:37. (The time you have listed is actually the break between two pieces by Michael Manring and Motoshi Kosako.)
I just updated that-thanks!
@@doublebasshq YW Jason!
My favorite instrument 😊😊loved it.
Thanks for checking this out!
What a fun night, thanks for posting Jason!
You bet!
I bought kaplan mediums and right away the bow response was fantastic. I like the sound of the D and G but the E and A are boxy sounding on my hybrid chinese bass. Were you playing zyex lights or mediums?
I know how that kid is feeling with the light blue squire bass lol
He is sad he doesn’t have a DB yet!
I use an angle end pin that fits into the end pin socket. I use one that keeps the nut at eye level seated or standing.
Are your feet flat on the floor with the ErgoBass? Because of my height, even with an ergo bass, I'd need to have a yoga block to reach the floor, which means I'd need to lug around both the Ergo and the yoga block.
I'm able to keep both feet flat on the floor no problem with the ErgoBass.
Som incrível, não tinha visto alguém tira um som assim em um baixo acustico.
Sam is incredible!
Once again I say to myself: “I should try an ergobass”
It's a cool device!
I like the guitar footrest better than the yoga block because it has a slight slant which I find more comfortable. I have been playing for 60 years and never had any problems physically. I credit relaxed and efficient position for this. And my primary teacher, Warren Benfield.
Good point about the guitar footstool angle!
Terrible interview. the chap running it should shut up and let Drew speak more about his musical life. I am NOT interested in the twerp interviewing (horrid voice too). What about Drew's gear?
ay wassup
Rabbath !!
Shouldn’t a 7/8 be between 106 and 108 cm of string length? It’s more a 3/4.
Interesting fact: both contenders were also conductors. Koussevistzky had a more sigificant career, but Bottesinis was active much earlier in the arc of development of the symphony orchestra. He was also largely an opera conductor.
Excellent vid Jason. So nice to see you include etudes I have actually spent time on (either the pieces themselves, or others by the performers) - it gives me a big boost - thinking "I was right to take a gamble with all that time thrown in with those people". And your comments also often hit the mark - confirmation of inkling suspicions - "yes, I knew it!" kind of awakenings. Especially the athletic thing - I had thought it was just my own indulgence - but as a Tai Chi & martial arts practitioner, I strongly suspected 'good Chi' & posture is so important - AND you can get good at it, AND get a workout, AND fix things like back problems into the bargain.
They are playing
They are all wonderful players.
Fantastic episode! Thank you
All great soloists
And that ladies and gents , is how you make love!
😂 Oh this is too accurate! Hilarious, Jason!! 😂🤣😅
Honey I Blew up the Chin Guitar
This was an absolutely beautiful presentation. I put Ron on the cover of Bass Frontiers magazine back in the day. This book is an important glance into what has us all devoted to the bass.
o, du lieber augustin
Brilliant episode, Jason! I learned more playing in a trio with Mikyung and Dominik this year than I have in a long time. Studying the greats is the formula!
Thanks, Paul-much appreciated! It’s so cool that you were in a trio with them!
Respek!
Now that's a cool lesson
magnifico!!!!!
Was looking for double bass drumming, but this is also interesting
Great observations and tips! Thanks, Jason!
They all swing the bow with the right hand
Maybe the foot, its the crooked one, seems interesting :)
