Same for most classical composers.

Are the same of the bass guitar

orion, from the master of puppets album, you gotta listen to the rest of the album mate

Post this on every double bass quartet video. It's the good stuff.

Good one

Kolot I would say cello for a midget but you do you.

im pretty sure its to offset the center of gravity to make it lighter for the left hand

If you notice, the offset allows him to stand up straight for the most part instead of hanging on his bass. What a great idea.

+Tony RR No kidding

no, it makes sense why it's bothersome

idek tbh laborie style it's bent on purpose to distribute weight better

idek tbh same

Originally it was a Rabbath endpin, now some guys invented to use it with that angle too. He also uses a extra-heavy bow (MUCH heavier than normal) and here has his bass tuned a 4th higher. Very good musician.
