What to buy:
Music Stands – Peak Folding Music Stands
Metronome/Tuner Combo – Korg TM – 40
You can also take a look at these pictures of tuners and metronomes for purchase (cheap and one free metronome) I DO NOT RECOMMEND A FREE TUNER… There is a lot of math involved for a good tuner and nothing tops the app Tonal Energy…
String Emporium Upright Basses - If you don’t know Steve Koscica, you don’t know basses… Best Price – biggest sound Best Price – Easiest to play Both are great basses, and I own two basses from String Emporium!
Bows - this is what I play on! Great sound @ a cheap price!
Rosin - Nyman and Carlsson are best for Texas!
Wolf Eliminators – A small weight to snap on to a “pressure point” for a string/note that sounds funnier than the rest!
Amps, cables, and basses… a better substitue for Guitar Center → Sweetwater.com
Best Bass Amps → Eden Electronics (I play the WT1205)
Iconic Professional Bass → Fender Basses… (I play the Active Deluxe V)
Jim Reed Guitars → I own one of these as well… Met the maker and he customized it for me!
