Upright Bass Player

The bass is the largest and lowest-pitched bowed string instrument in an orchestra. It is considered a background instrument, but it is a strong one that resonates in the body. You can’t allow yourself to play it weakly. You have to play with an attitude and put authority into it.

“A bass should sound like a bass with the thump of the finger against the wood, like it began with stand up.” (Suzi Quatro)
