hell yes...I have string bass that needs set up bad...strings are a bit high
well if you look at my profile picture...Its my first live string bass performance in years!!!!
I LOVE the sound of an upright bass, bowed or plucked. Mostly bowed. It's too bad you don't hear that outside of orchestras very often. It's cool you're doing it that way.

The band Im play with right now does a style called organic rock. So the string bass fit the genre. I broke my bow. And Im waiting on the new one to come.
fixed my bow and Im feeling pretty good about my playing...its getting better!!
Ive started playing string (upright) bass in the show now. People seemed to really like it! Im getting back to my old self on the old stand-up! They recorded live Friday night. I really hope to see the video soon...
I just bought a new bow for my string bass. While I was at it I bought a pick up too!!
Don't leave me hangin', here! What KIND of pick up didja get? I deal woth these bluegrass guys fairly often, & I like some of thier gear, but the pups are nearly always sub-quality. I'd like to know what direction to point them to do better.

K&K pickup...bought it used off ebay..$35. and I bought a nice brazil-wood bow with real horsehair...and pearl inlay!
LOL
When Dddonnie had his music store, he got an old violin off of someone.
He showed it to me, & I was appalled that he'd blow hard cash on that thing. The wood was separating at the edges of the thing.
As he held it oh so gingerly in his hands, proudly showing it off, I could only just shake my head. Suddenly, I jumped as he smashed it to the floor.
He then told me that it was junk. Nothing better than firewood.
So, of course I had to know why he bought it. Turns out that in many cases, the bow is the thing. It was hard to believe that when he showed it to me, with the hairs all stickin' out & such.
Turns out that some of the bows are worth quite a bit of money, if you know what to look for.
Hope you got a good one.
Thanks for the info.
