Thanks for the great video! I’m a brand new player, playing primarily pizz jazz. I’m interested in getting a cheap ($100) bow. How much does the size matter? I see 3/4 and 4/4 bows. Are these meant to correspond with bass size, or is it more personal preference? For example, is a 4/4 bow perfectly fine to play on a 3/4 scale instrument? Thank you very kindly for your insight!

Thanks for the informative video. I recently bought a steinberger electric upright, do you have any suggestions for that type of bass opposed from an acoustic?

[@doublebasshq]

It’s a similar experience bowing it for sure-pretty much the same stuff applies!
