QUOTE (teh_shredmaster @ Jun 2 2007, 03:23 PM)  Hi, I have a highschool jazz band audition in a week. I played bass for the jazz band this year, but my music teacher wants double bass (the big upright bass)to play for the jazz band instead next year(this coming September. Well, he has to pass the audition just like me, but there is my music teacher's preference. I don't see any chance of winning this audition because I learned how to play bass in one year with one of those Hal Leonard books and the double bass guy is involved in orchestra, plays for school concert band, plays at church, and even has a private tutor.. Grr.. So what I've been thinking is.. SLAP BASS!! That way it wouldnt be weird to have two bass... But do you think slap bass is suitable for jazz? I don't think there is music score for slap bass I guess I'll have to improv with guitar chord music score... Anyways, what do you think of this? Slap bass works for fusion, but probably not for hard core modern ... -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
