Can’t use an amp at home? I recommend the Roland GO:MIXER, a portable mixer you can connect to your smartphone.
Profile
Bass player and bass instructor, born January 13, 1982, who runs the YouTube channel Bass Channel Hoshino. I trained in session playing in New York, the mecca of jazz, and have played in over 1,000 jam sessions in Japan.
When I started upright bass, I felt lost and bought instruction books without a clear plan. I created these lessons to help people facing the same struggle. The curriculum focuses on efficient, effective practice — so you improve not only in your daily playing and sessions, but also enjoy the music and the personal growth that comes with it.
