Les B Double bass strings for folk? (10) RE: Double bass strings for folk? 02 Dec 02


I'm not a bass player, but I play with one in a group. What is pizz and arco ??

And, since I'm asking dumb questions, do any of you have any sense of when the bass began to be used in old timey, folk, and/or bluegrass groups? Most of the records of string bands from the 1930s don't seem to have basses - just a guitar playing bass runs, etc.
