Pics I found..
Here are some pictures I pulled from a website of an Orchestra I subbed in for the past couple of years. First two pics with the Gilkes (Beethoven 6th), next with the Hart (Holiday concert) (enlarge to see it..lol), and the last two with the Panormo School (forgot the program, some with Schumann Pno solo? and Khachaturian, etc.), all Pro section, smokin'.. .. I brought out the big guns that night.. I am second from the left in all the shots, 3rd stand.
All but the last 2 pics (no Ties on) were pre-concert run-thrus. Last pic, showtime.... I noticed after seeing these that I angle the bass more than the other players while sitting. Partially due to the size and girth of the basses along with the upper bout widths. |

and..
Here's two more but on the first pic you can only see my C-Extension and scroll sticking up on the back right side. Also, my left hand fingering as I Pizz with my Bow up. That's the Martini of which I have fond memories of. The second pic with me and my first carved bass while still in High School.

ok..
Just found another picture on line taken just a week ago on stage just before the downbeat..
That's the old Mittenwald Bass, 'La Fenice' with the Bollbach C-extension. I had to use an amp for one tune (Theme from Rocky) and that's the only Bass I currently have fitted for my pickup. I have the new Pirastro Passione Strings on the Bass and also used my P.A.P.A. preamp to get the tone needed as they wanted an Electric bass sound. The SWR Basic Black AMP belonged to a local school they borrowed it from at my request. This saved them the extra fee for Cartage or a 'doubling fee' if I had brought a Smith Bass and also saved my back from having to carry it...... |

So, you played the part on DB because they would have had to pay you extra to bring a bass guitar? |
