    What a great sounding bass. The instrument sounds huge and Mark Morton's playing is impeccable.

    i just love to hear another instrumentals excerpts of this piece

    So cool! This is exactly what I was looking to hear. Just heard Leonard Bernstein conduct after the fall of the Berlin wall and wanted to hear the double bass part alone. What a joy!

    Ive already commented two months ago of how awesome this was, but tonight I listened to it again through a super high quality vacuum tube receiver blasting through my P.A. (my poor neighbors) and it sounds incredible. You can hear every string slide with deep punchy notes. Your vibrato and intonation is perfect even though it's a non fretted instrument. Outstanding

    I remember being astounded at your playin (Pied Piper Suite?) at Richard Davis’ bass convention when I was a new player in 94. Nothing has changed. Why aren’t you principal at LA, London or NY?

    Amazing. The level of abstraction in a single instrument is mesmerizing without context. Of course, I mentally add in the rest of the orchestra. It's like looking at some event through a knothole.

  • @bassdestacks
    @bassdestacks Před 7 lety +6

    I'm glad someone hits all the notes. I'm impressed. But after watching many videos I'm upset and ask youtubers to find other excerpts. I'll be hated for this.

  • @ThePreAmpChannel

    Nice work my friend. The Rich Woody tone out of your bass is phenomenal. This quality is almost always lost due to the rest of the orchestra playing. I guess it would be unfair to make them all stop playing ( just kidding) seriously though, this is very educational and important for everyone to listen to. It's fun and interesting as well. I really appreciate you taking the time to record this with such high quality to get that rich tone

    Now I know that I've heard it, I am convinced it's not my fault that the fugue comes out like a jumble of sound...
    It's just physics. Though to be fair, Beethoven probably imagined it differently than it actually sounded.

    Why do you shift your hand up for the open D during the second excerpt?

      Good question! It is to vibrate on the open D.

      This bass is a copy of my Guadagnini made by Paul Hart in 2013. This model is available at Robertson's & Sons in Albuquerque, NM. The strings are D'Addario Kaplan. The bow is a Zimmerman model by Samuel Kolstien.

      yeah hearing isolated parts is very cool and often helpful for playing and composition. Mark Morton has been especially helpful for me in learning how the bass functions soloistically and orchestrally.
