I LOVE the introduction sequence! So cool.
Awesome video as always, thanks for sharing Jason!
Thanks, Geoff!
I switched to 5ths tuning under the guidance of Joel Quarrington over 10 years ago and that has changed my bass playing totally. BTW, I graduated from Northwestern in 1975 and was delighted to see the Maggini of my first great teacher, Warren Benfield.
Would you recommend fifths tuning to a student? I've been reading about it and it all sounds interesting, but I haven't given it a try yet. Thirds look like a bit of a pain to play.
Bass in 5ths gives so very much better resonance. But much literature is written to the 4ths tuned bass. I choose 5ths.
Thank you for the video. I was not aware of bass extensions.
Thanks for watching!
The invention of the Ingles Cello/Double Bass Stand was a masterstroke. If you've ever tripped over the neck of a side prone positioned instrument, or watched the end pin slide out from under one you attempted to store in a corner, (bass go boom!) you know what I'm talking about. Love mine!
Good point!
Bass repair folks truly love the innovation of bass stands.
I would add two innovative bass products: the Lammax endpin by Mario Lamarre (I used this for 3 years) and the Ergo Bass by Petru Iuga (I have used it for a long time)
Nice! I’ll need to put those into a “part 2” video.
Bass buggy is where its at. Ditched my wheel forever ago.
I would add Anima nova adjustable soundpost and carbon fibre bows...
Good call! I'm in the market for a German bow right now. Jason has other videos about bows (only French :(. )
Tempura strings sound delicious
I’ve heard that!
I have a question, Whish double bass do you recomend beetwen a C extension bass or a five-string bass?
For a orchestra and for concert.
(I'm sorry if I write strange, I actually speak spanish)
Lol
I use an extension myself, but 5 string basses are great too!
Greetings Jason! You didn't mention what brand of strings you are using on your Jakstadt bass; care to share that with us?
Sure! I’m using Pirastro Perpetuals at the moment.
Any thoughts on the carbon fiber sound post?
They’re cool! They can make quite a difference on sound and playability depending on the bass.
Are bass extensions made with the bass, or do they need to be attached?
Sometimes they're made at the same time as the bass, but often they are attached later.
Jason, PLEASE look into Bass Bags for higher end Basses I have been so frustrated with my Bass Bags through-out the years. It's a very Expensive undertaking to find the right bag in FIT and ENDURANCE. Please HELP! Best Frank
I’ll try my best-lots of good word about Messina bags these days.
anyone know if there's a Rosin Review?
I've got a bunch of rosin reviews in this playlist: ua-cam.com/video/VW3RChD_Ehg/v-deo.html
bridges knobs and estentions are the deeper innovations
I finally have my own upright 5 string after playing for 16 years. PS, forgot to mention the bass buggie for transportation
Nice!
Bass Buggy is a keeper. Bass wheels are a bit unwieldy by comparison. At least that's been my experience. It's as if it has a mind of its own. "...Whooaa!...like where ya goin'?...This way!"
@@bustabass9025 exactly!
Yo, Jason!
John!! I hope you’re doing well, man!
...and! chromatic endpin!!!!
kewls
do not forget the piezzo electronic tuner , to finally get tuned even though this @#& trombonist does not stop playing a minute !
Once thing that that is NOT a good, the shape of this bass. Been a luthier and bassist most of my life, I do not care for the shape of this bass.
Probably a fine instrument, but……..,
I like this video jason,but like someone told before me, the fifth tuning need to be consider, because you don't have a long left arm to use the extension, or big hand with long finger to play a five string.
As european bassist, i don't see many musician and liuther use or adapt the extension on their basses, i personally bought a second instrument, learn where position are and convert it in fifths in three months, today are 10 month that i am an happy fifther !

I had an interesting chat with Canadian bassists Travis Harrison about 5ths tuning fairy recently--he dug into a lot of cool topics about the tuning: contrabassconversations.com/2021/07/01/travis-harrison/
