zero9 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I was at a Rockabilly / Psychobilly gig over the weekend and everyone I saw playing a DB was using Rotosound RS4000 strings and the K&K 'Bass Master Rockabilly' ([url="http://www.kksound.com/bassmasterrb.html"]http://www.kksound.com/bassmasterrb.html[/url]). I got my K&K from Thomann. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisF Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 [quote name='PaulKing' timestamp='1338965306' post='1681636'] Also, almost all double bass playing happens around the top two strings, as the lower ones are so low, and can be indistinct if you're using nylion or gut as many slappers do. So where you're used to playing A/E on the bottom strings of a guitar or bass guitar, on upright you'll certainly play the top A/E 90% of the tuime.
