ISB International AmBASSadors Community for Members & Non-Members

International Society of Bassists AmBASSadors share information to inspire, educate, and connect double bass players, teachers, and makers from around the world.

ISB members and non-members alike are welcome! You can be part of the double bass community for your country / region.  Read educational posts and learn about double bass events near you.

Do you live outside the United States? You may be eligible for a discounted membership in the International Society of Bassists.

Discounted Digital ISB Membership rates are available to bassists living in many countries. Click here to see if you are eligible for a discounted digital membership according to your country of residence. Digital members of the ISB receive Bass World magazine as a digital file instead of in the mail, plus all members-only benefits.
