Toys for Double Bassists
Musikmesse Frankfurt
From March 21. to 24., we will exhibit at the Musikmesse in our hometown Frankfurt/Germany. You’ll meet us at hall 1.2 booth B40
Make your choice: our pickup testing bass
Some double bass pickups are easy to test on your own bass - e. g. pickups that get mounted under the bridge foot. But other pickup models need alterations to the bridge or pickup to get mounted. In order to give our customers an idea of these pickup’s sound and character, we’ve installed them to one of our showroom basses.
News
This new Double Bass poster is a great resource for every bassist: it's a fingerboard chart and timeline, and shows the notes on the fingerboard, the notation and positions – in original 1:1 scale. It also features an illustrated timeline of the double bass’ history, important bassists and makers from the 16th to 20th century.
On Dec, 3rd, we had bassist John Goldsby here for a great Double Bass workshop/masterclass.
Since 1994, John Goldsby has been a member of the Westdeutscher Rundfunk Big Band (the Cologne Radio Big Band). From 1980 to 1994, John lived in New York City and was an active fixture on the New York jazz scene, performing everywhere from Carnegie Hall, to the nightclubs of Greenwich Village, to concert stages around the world. John is actively involved in the jazz scene as a bassist, bandleader, composer, teacher, clinician and author.

The removable neck
Travelling with the bass is always a challenge. In particular air travels are getting more and more restricted and expensive for double bassists who want to take their instrument aboard.
To make travelling with the bass more easy, Christopher has developped a double bass with removable neck. As the makers of the Eminence bass, Christopher has much experience in making portable basses with removable neck. Due to the steel dovetail joint, the neck is removed and assembled within a few minutes.
