JadeT Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) Hi there, I'm new to the world of bass and basschat so some friendly advice will be much appreciated! I want to get my boyfriend a double bass lesson to surprise him for his birthday. He's turning 45 and has been playing Jazz on the electric bass for 10 years now, he wanted to test out the double bass to see how it is, but he won't have a DB of his own to practise on. We live in SE London but I'm sure he wouldn't be too adverse to travelling a little. Is there any good tutors around that might have a spare double bass for their students that you guys might know? Thanks! Jade Edited July 1, 2018 by JadeT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKenrick Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Chris Kelly is based in SE and teaches double bass, not sure if he'll have a spare instrument but worth a try: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) IIRC Dave Swift, Jools Holland's Bassist, was offering one-to-one lessons. He's a member here (swiftbass) and on Indeed. Edited July 6, 2018 by TheGreek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
