This month there are no suggested pieces. Post your playing for feedback. It can be anything! Just post the audio or video and we'll talk about it.

Don't be shy!

This is a place for you to post your playing (video or audio) and get feedback, discuss whatever you're practicing, and take a shot at the pieces of the month. Don't be shy: pick a piece of music, practice it, then record and post and we can give you feedback.

Piece #1 Bille Etude #1 Book 3

Piece #2 March to the Stake (4th mov) from Symphonie Fantastique

Piece #3 All the things you are

Hi r/doublebass! Based on a great suggestion from u/mark2000stephenson, we're starting up a monthly pieces thread. This will be a sticky with at least three pieces of music, hopefully appealing to a variety of players.

How to participate: Pick a piece, practice it and post a recording of your playing (video or audio). And/or Listen to others play and give feedback. Feel free to also post other things you are working on.

This month's pieces are:

Bille Etude #4 Book 3

Dragonetti Waltz #1

Angel Eyes (Dennis/Brent)

Feel free to post suggestions for next month's pieces.

Hi folks, in the last few weeks there has been a lot of spam posted to the sub, and it looks like it's getting worse. In response:

1. I've set up an automoderator script which will remove any post that receives 4 or more reports. This will get rid of the spam pretty quick, so you don't have to see it on your front page. If something controversial but legit gets removed because of reports, we can deal with it case-by-case.

2. I'd like to add another moderator. In particular, it would be great to have a mod who would like to be active in making the sub more useful or interesting to everyone. So, why don't we discuss that here.

If you'd like to be a mod here (or just have good ideas)

The next International Society of Bassists Convention is coming up: June 1-6 in Fort Collins, Colorado. Are you going?

Post info, questions, meet-ups, must-see events, past experiences, or anything else ISB related!

I've made it so anyone can edit. I thought it would be useful to create some wiki pages on topics of interest to the subreddit, and to have a FAQ for those who are just starting on the instrument and looking for guidance. The talkbass wiki (links in sidebar) used to be a good resource, but it's no longer easily editable, so we could copy some of that content here.

Do some editing, copying, writing, etc if you're interested!

It's a big beautiful Gamba, made by Seth Kimmel in Eugene, Oregon. Made in May 2011.

Take a look at pics here: http://imgur.com/a/7bFPU

It's got a lot of sound, with a nice "woody" tone and good depth and clarity. Would be a good audition bass in my opinion. You can hear a reasonable sound sample here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pj4SdV9bgSo

I'm asking 19k USD and I'm available to show it in the Minneapolis/St Paul area of Minnesota. I could do a special r/doublebass deal if somebody on reddit is interested.... Thanks for looking!
