stylites Posted May 30, 2002 Share Posted May 30, 2002 I've played bass many times. I actually prefer the bass to lead, especially in symphonies where you typically have many exposed parts. I started as a lead player, but I really like them low notes. I own a Vincent Bach 42BO, which is a big bore tenor, but sounds really nice in the bass range. I'd really like to get a 60BO, so if anyone has one they'd like to sell, let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meadejd Posted May 31, 2002 Share Posted May 31, 2002 Switched to Bass in High school. Was required to play a small bore for the solos in '86 and '87 VK. Then started getting more jobs on Tenor. Got called to do a Bass job a couple months ago. Man are my low chops sad these days. Still nothing cooler than a honkin' big band bass-T.

DevsBari02 Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 I have always played lead baritone in drum corps, but some of my most fun experiences have been on bass trombone. (I am a tenor player). I have done some gigs on bass in south Florida. It's a load of fun. Low C below the staff is my favorite bass bone note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADBRASS Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 I have done some gigs on bass in south Florida...Low C below the staff is my favorite bass bone note. Hey I'm in South Florida too. How do you gigs for bass bone? It seems ever where I go they want a tenor player. BTW my favoite note is a pedal F (and pedal C, but only on bass) because I can play it on any horn and it loosens my chops when I've been playing higher parts.
