Chambo Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Just reading about double basses. Are 3/4 basses primarily used for jazz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandShef Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 3/4 is pretty much the standard. I play classical & mine is a 3/4 (as are the other orchestral players basses). I don't actually know anyone with a full-size one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambo Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 Ah! I thought that 3/4 was for learning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisnameistaken Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I thought about buying a 4/4 for busking thinking it would be louder but I'm glad I didn't, I would be smacking the pegbox on every doorway rather than every [i]other [/i]doorway with my 3/4s.
