"Stupid Bass History" is back, but with a bit more research and collaboration. Thanks to all the folks who helped me with this video!

With Jason Heath · San Francisco, CA

  • Thomas Fiorini – double bassist in the Brussels Philharmonic
  • Aaron Olguin – Principal Bass in Norway’s Trondheim Symphony
