A comprehensive study of left-hand technique with numerous demonstrations using orchestral and solo repertoire. What size bass should you be playing? 1/2, 3/4, 5/8, 4/4? It can seem overwhelming, especially as bassists generally love to play smaller instruments which are easier to transport and often very playable when compared with larger basses. But what about the sound? Surely big basses create big sounds with a great tone? Please let us know what you think in the comments below.
