STOLEN!
UB Standard Laminate #149 was stolen in Guayaquil - Ecuador. The bass has something that makes it easy to recognize, it has a piece that makes the neck removable.  If anyone has any information on this bass in Ecuador please contact us and we can contact the owner.

Today is my 15th wedding anniversary!  Thank you K for putting up with me for all these years!  143!
Greetings!

Happy Friday everyone! 

WELCOME!  Should be lots of new "faces" this week as I finally integrated the membership of the forum Double Bass Chat.  www.doublebasschat.com is a forum that used to be located at www.rockabillybass.com, and while that site is still "live", the forum is not.  Double Bass Chat is a lively group of more "roots" oriented bassists (bluegrass, rockabilly, folk, etc) and offers a different atmosphere than some of the other double bass forums.  Although the forum is owned by us, it is largely run by the members and is very "commercial" free.  We've worked very hard at keeping it for players and not a "shout box" for retailers.  Check it out...it's very refreshing.

So...without further ado, I bring you some Friday night double bass entertainment!

And remember...if you have ANY links, news, videos, etc. you want to share, eMail it to me at [email protected] and I'll be sure to share it.  Oh...and if you just want to say "Hi" you can do that too!
 
Have a nice weekend!

Our good friend Louis Fantasia has been invited to perform THE DOUBLE BASS at the first international bass conference in Berlin in October!  This looks like a great event and it's too bad I'll miss it!
