Bass Bites with Anne Luna: what my left thumb actually does while playing (mono audio)

- Bass Bites: small, digestible bits of tips, tricks, licks and more for the double bass, all in under 10 minutes.
Although there is an efficient, ergonomic hand position that is taught for the "fretting" hand on a double bass, my fingers--and especially my thumb--move into and out of that position while playing. This allows my hand to not become too rigid. Here, get a closer look at what my left thumb (I'm a right handed player) actually does when moving up and down the neck. The goal: have a flexible, moveable hand, along with the good intonation that comes from learning the basic hand position.

Whoops! I made an audio mistake on this one--for the stereo version (instead of mono) check out this same video at: • Bass Bites with Anne L... - เพลง

As a electric bassist Id like to get a upright bass but where I live that's a 150 mile trip ( lots of violin, viola, cello makers), I'll probably get a NS design bass 😊
I've played a couple of the NS Design electric upright basses. It is nice having the "frets" marked, they're really portable, and generally have a nice action on the fingerboard. I prefer the sound of an acoustic instrument, and being able to move a bit more freely, though. Whatever you end up getting, I'm sure you'll have a blast playing!
Master bassist
Thank you! That's very kind.
I watched, very nicely, With a bow could you do that?
Good question! My left thumb behaves similarly whether playing pizzicato or arco. I may do other videos using the bow and showing how I modify ergonomically.
Some advice: the peg is way too high. Maybe she can play that way, but the shoulder and intonation will suffer and the height makes it difficult to use arm weight. That’s why her sound is so weak.
Thanks for taking the time to comment! I play with my bass a little higher than many after years of classical lessons. I found having the headstock about even with the top of my head lets my right (plucking) hand hit lower on the fingerboard for a bigger sound (and more arm weight), and allows where I play most of the time in first position to be right in my line of sight. For me, it also allows my shoulders to relax a bit more. I'm always tweaking my stance and alignment for more ease, but this works for me. I think it's worth playing around with your own setup, as well as comparing what other bassists do.
