READY TO ROLL
The R.C. Williams Bass Buggie allows the double bass to be fitted on the resin-compound stand upright and be pulled along, avoiding the often-strenuous act of carrying the heavy bass. It can be used for basses from 1/10 to full size, and can be used with and without an instrument bag. It weighs 1.6kg, comes in red and black, and can be used both indoors and outdoors. A Cello Buggie is also now available. R.C. Williams Bass Buggie $145 email nancy@rcwilliamsco.com web www.rcwilliamscompany.com
STICK WITH IT
Leatherwood Rosin’s new double bass rosin was designed to be multipurpose. It comes in two recipes: Bass and Bass Extra. The former is suited to heavy orchestral playing and can be used by students and professionals, while the latter was made to offer more depth of tone and stickiness, particularly in cold and dry climates.
