Most electric bass players struggle on upright for the same reason… They just haven’t been shown a clear, practical way to approach it. That’s why I built Upright Bass for New Players — a course designed specifically for electric players making the switch and beginners starting from scratch. Inside, you’ll learn:
✅ How to translate your electric skills to upright
✅ Proper technique (without frustration or injury)
✅ How to get a real upright tone
✅ The practice fundamentals you need to get somewhere on this instrument! No fluff. No wasted time. Just a clear path to sounding good. 👉 Start your upright journey today

Video proof of the skinny bass out in the wild. Great gig w the crew @lavahi @robertboonemusic @zachwkeyz Big thanks to @carrie_the_music and @brandsherpa for making it happen!
Usually not a "looking back" kinda dude, but sometimes these iPhone photo reels are pretty dope. This was around this time of year back in 2016 in Europe. Apparently I mainly cared about chirashi/ceviche, making sure Kevin was always pointing at things, and trying everything on at TKMaxx. 😂😂😂
