With my interest in tuning my bass in 5ths, I found that there is a book my Dennis Masuzzo called "Playing the Double Bass Tuned in Fifths".  Here's a quick overvies of the book from www.inrmusic.com.

Herongate Rehearsal

I've just completed two rehearsals for a musical theatre gig that I'm a part of. The rehearsals went well but I have a few things that I need to work on. Otherwise, I think I should be okay for these performances. More on this later. If you'd like, visit www.herongate.com

Electric woes

For a while now, my electric bass has been out of commission. I took it in last night to see what was the problem. It turns out that it just needs a bit of soldering. No problem. Although, the person looking at my electric did feel that there was a major problem with the action on my bass; I concurred. In fact, the action/tension on my electric has been horrible for a long time now. Anyway, I'm finally going to have that looked after as well. Hopefully this won't break the bank on a beat up electric bass. Coming out of there, I couldn't help but feel like I was dropping my bass off at a car dearlership's service department. Anyway, here's hoping they won't charge as much as well.
