I can't even read notes . Lesson 1 tomorrow 😂 but after buying a old double bass of a wall in a bar from the late 60's witch was use as decoration only I'm determined to learn. After strolling UA-cam you are the only person who is making sense. Thank you
Hi Donald, no problem. Thank you for the question. I had to try it out😃 to find out. I would say its half way between the very end and the first joint. Never thougt about it. But its a good question All the best🙋♂️
I find the G strinh really difficult, both to get a grip on with the plucking fingers, and to get it to hit the board. It's much tighter than the other strings and seems to have to be pulled at a different angle to make it hit the board. Is this a common problem?

Thank you for your work !
Hi Kris_Toff, thank you very much, youre welcome. Glad you dig it. Thanks for watching and all the best!
You helped me so much
Thx. You re welcome! 🙋♂️
Sorry to ask so many questions! When you pull and release the string, do you find you're using the very end of the fingers, or nearer the first joint?

Hi Donald. How high is your G string?
@@begtotheroots Hi - It's about 4mm - pretty low. Strings are Superior Bassworks Deluxe Dirty Gut
Hi Donald.
Try to put 1 mm or 2 mm toothpick under the string at the bridge to make it to 5 or 6 mm.
Good lesson!!
Thank you very much, Thomas!
Thank you very very much! This is a very good lesson! .... can you recommend any brand of string for slap? Greetings
Hi Fabrizio Bezzini , thank you very much! I am using Gut-a-like strings, Didi Beck edition! All the best
