Advanced Bass FAQs
What are the best double basses for intermediate and advanced players?
A quality advanced bass should promote continued growth from its player. This means you want an instrument with a more complex voice and can handle the nuanced technique that sets an intermediate bassist apart from a beginner.
What should I prioritize in an advanced bass?
Being handmade is going to be a bass’s most important quality, especially at the advanced level. A handmade advanced double bass is going to be able to support the rapid improvement in a rising intermediate player, whereas a factory-made instrument may struggle to keep up with growing technical skill resulting in a more stunted sound. Meanwhile, a handmade advanced double bass will have a rich tone that grows with you.
