I'm a bassist, who's with me? (1 Viewer)

I always felt playing bass guitar would be an awesome gig. Plucking a few strings, leaves plenty of time to point out which girls the roadies should escort back stage. Who wants to burn 8000 calories playing the drums, or lose their voice from screaming death metal every show.

I'd rather sell microwave ovens and color tvs.

 
I'm a bassist. But I play stand up, not electric.
If this were true you'd call it double bass ;)
Oh it's true. And yes, I would if most knew what it was. Or contrabass. And Tim, no, I don't twirl it since I play classical music. But I'd twirl it for you
German or French?
French. Let me know when you want the penny pic to convince you.
Oh, I believe you. I was actually curious with the bow hold. I started playing the double about a month ago at the behest of my violin teacher wife. She wanted a bass player in her recitals but doesn't teach it. I am going to do that tonight and attempt to not embarrass myself.

I've actually been playing for ~25 years (didn't even realize it's been that long until just now). The bass is great from the standpoint that there simply aren't that many players compared to other instruments and you can almost always find a job to play if that's something you're interested in. If you have questions about it, feel free to ask anytime :)

How's it coming along?

I've played about a dozen times, two of which were in front of people. I didn't totally embarrass myself, but I want to practice more, so I picked up one of these - my dad actually has an extra acoustic instrument he'd let me use, but I've got a pretty small place and no place to put it.

I've got my music for the may recital, but I've also got a 2 week old kid, so my practice time has been spent changing diapers and being a gofer for my wife.
