Viewing articles tagged with “double bass.”

Double bass, also known as standup bass, doghouse bass, string bass, and bass fiddle is the instrument I play. The name double bass comes from classical music, where it often doubles the cello parts an octave below.

    Help Support Gary Vessel’s Stroke Recovery

    My friend, band mate, and luthier, Gary Vessel suffered a severe stroke on May 7, 2025. Gary is facing massive medical bills, and is unable to run his shop or perform for the foreseeable future. Affordable health care is a luxury most musicians and many small business owners don’t have access to in the United States. He and his family could really use financial support if you are so inclined. Consider contributing or attending a Red Dog Ash performance in the future.
