What is the double bass bridge height setting for playing slap bass?
For ease in slap bass, you need high action. "Action" in this sense simply means how high your strings are from your fingerboard.
Because each bass is hand made and different, each bridge is going to have different measurements of what is "high" action and what is "low" action. Instead of looking at the bridge, look at the octave point on your strings (exact halfway point from nut to bridge).
So, what is high action? Assuming your fingerboard isn't horribly warped, you should have at least a half an inch of space between your string and the fingerboard. This gives you enough space for your fingers to curl under the strings in order to pull the string back and snap it against the fingerboard.
Where can you get the most expensive double bass?
I don't know the exact answer to this question but I can give you some good direction.
Find a well renowned luthier. (If you want to make things more expensive - I suggest finding a luthier outside of the country you live and that speaks a language you don't. - you'll have to pay for a translator and for import costs/shipping costs!)
Commission the Luthier to make a ONE OF A KIND doublebass for you. Have outrageous demands such as only using real ivory for any type of inlay work and using real gold and platinum for all the metal.
Once the instrument is made - arrange to have it "tour" with professional bassists. You could have all the big musician's sign it for you after they played the concert (preferably televised).
Sometime during the "tour" or shortly thereafter - the luthier would have to die, or loose a limb - so he could never duplicate the instrument.
I'm sure that this would result in one incredibly overpriced musical instrument. Of course - anything custom made and one of a kind is going to be expensive in the first place.
Instead of using a double bass pedal could you just use to single pedals on a drum set?
It doesnt work very well because they dont both hit in the center so they get different or equally crappy sounds
How would you make a quiet note on double bass?
- Less weight on the bow.
- You can turn the hairs of the bow on their side slightly so not so much hair is touching the strings.
- Bowing further away from the bridge (or closer to the fingerboard) can help.
The Double Bass is actually one of the quieter members of the string family so it is easier to make quiet notes on the Bass than the Violin for example.

What is the size of a destroyer?
The size of a destroyer has varied over time. The modern destroyer is bigger than some of the cruisers of WWI. They are not that much smaller than some of the early battleships.
However, it is difficult to find the exact average size. In 1898, A US Navy Destroyer was 175 ft, WW 2, 376 ft long and 40 ft wide. Today, over 500 ft long.
What are the two main styles of the double bass?
There is Jazz Bass and Classical Bass. Jazz Bass is characterised by more slappy bass (pizzicato), walking bass, and swung rhythm's, Classical Bass is characterized more by bowing (arco). Classical can by played in an orchestra or as a solo instrument. Jazz is played with a band or Jazz band. Hope this helps!

Who invented the double switch?
The double switch is at least a century old; because early records are sparse, it is probably impossible to pin down who first used it. An early documented example took place in the game played by the New York Highlanders (the future Yankees) on August 2, 1906 in Detroit. Player-manager Clark Griffith brought himself in as a relief pitcher in the eighth inning, but put himself in the number eight spot in the order replacing the catcher; at the same time he brought in a new catcher in the pitcher's number nine spot.

What instrument replaced the double bass in rock n roll?

How do you plays double bass while using a hi hat?
When someone plays double bass drums or double bass pedals while playing the
hi-hat pedal one foot is doing the work of two feet...to make this possible there
have been devices made.
Below is a list of options that I've observed.
1. The Hi-Hat Pedal Clutch - Some hi-hat stands come with a clutch near the footboard,
this is so a drummer can pick the desired tention of the hi-hats (closed, loose, or
open) with the foot board then flip the clutch to keep it stationary so your foot can
switch over to the bass pedal.
2. Put Your Foot Halfway On Each - This techinque also works depending on which
speed you will be playing at. I've seen some drummers put the heel of their foot
on the hi-hat pedal and the upper part of their foot on the bass pedal.
3. Get Another Pair Of Hi-Hats - Some drummers get a second pair of hi-hat cymbals
that are set to the right of their kit (or to the right if they are left handed) : and
even in the middle sometimes above their toms ; that are left loose for the primary
purpose of being played when the secondary foot makes the switch from the hi-hat
pedal to the bass pedal.
4. The Hi-Hat Drop Clutch - There is also a little device that you can screw onto your
top hi-hat cymbal just like the clutch that connects to the rod and raises and lowers
the top hi-hat cymbal, but this devices also has a switch on it that you can flip with
your hand or with a stick that drops the top hi-hat cymbal down onto the bottom
one leaving it more loose then closed.
I think I covered most of the modern possiblities.
Enjoy. :)
