      Needs to be retired

      The "New Method for the Double Bass" by Franz Simandl will always have an important place in the history of double bass pedagogy. Having said that, it is hardly "new". Simandl died in 1912, and the most recent, Zimmerman/Drew edition came out in 1984. Though Volume I is advertised as...

      begin with ABCs of Bass books, then Simandl

      I began with ABCs of Bass books. This Simandl was too daunting in the beginning and my teacher suggested the easier ABCs of Bass Book 1. Now I can handle this book and can't put it down. Use the ABCs of Bass book 2 with this book and you will...

      Outstanding

      The book is excellent for a starter of the Double Bass. The exercises do help let the mind know all the positions and shifting. Although know the third finger is used more in these positions the book is a great way to become a great musician.

      Excellent beginner bassist book

      This book is an excellent method for dedicated students. It is a bit dry and boring, but by the end the student will be much better.

      intermediate level bass book

      don't be fooled. this is an intermediate level. College students use this book. I would start with something more elementary that covers all basic technique like the two abcs of bass books if you have never played the string bass. Very good book when you are ready! Intensive study of...
