Further Bass Exploration - Links to Other Bass Pages

Bob Gollihur's
Double Bass Links Page
 

Back in 1996, I posted a list on my website (pulled from my personal bookmarks) of double bass resources I'd found, simply to share them with other players. Over the years, I've maintained this collection - adding new resources, removing dead links when I can, and taking lots of link suggestions from the site's many visitors. Now, more than 20 years later, the list has continued to grow, and what you see below is the fruits of my labor.

This list changes and grows due to new discoveries and submissions. There are a ton of "Electric Bass Links" pages out there, so I've narrowed my entries to those that appeal specifically to the Double Bass side of the world. Please jot me a note in our contact us form if you find broken links, have a comment, or have a URB-related link suggestion. If it's your own page, a reciprocal link is always appreciated; I'll be delighted to add links to personal pages where the upright predominates under the "Players" section.

Thanks and enjoy!
