Good grip - nice tone.
6 out of 9 found the following review helpful

Pros: I'm a cellist who has recently taken up bass and this brand was recommended to me by a professional bass player. Cello rosin really doesn't work for bass! I like this rosin - it gives the bow plenty of grip. I'm producing a much better tone since I started using it.

Cons: It comes with instructions to store upright - apparently it's so soft that it will flow downhill otherwise. I guess that's only a really problem in places much warmer than the UK, but I'm storing it on a level bookshelf and having to remember to pick it up when I go out with the bass. It will certainly stand up to a few hours at a time at random angles in the bass case while I'm at orchestra rehearsal, so this is no great worry if you don't live in the tropics.

Other: It comes wrapped in a paper case inside a sturdy plastic tub. It took a minute on first use to carefully peel back the paper case without tearing it, but having done this I can now easily apply rosin to the bow without getting covered in it myself.
