Carlsson Bass Rosin

No dust; doesn’t make a mess. Melts just enough to stick. I haven’t used it in hot weather, only during winter.

Works great-highly recommended!

A bit crumbly, but the stickiness is superb.

Best rosin out there. Period. Carlsson is a dark rosin that is much softer than most, but it gives you a grip like no other rosin has, and it lasts longer as well. I have used for Solo and Orchestral work, and have found it to be extremely effective in both scenarios. My only exception is Baroque, in which the grip is simply uncharacteristic. Also, it melts extremely quickly when in the car, so never leave it out there. Best all-around rosin out there.

From a 30-year professional Symphony bassist - I've tried a half-dozen different brands of String Bass rosin, but the Carlsson Bass Rosin is the finest. It consistently gives me the best grip on the bow hair that really vibrates the strings and makes the instrument really sing. Another plus - it doesn't coat the bow hair with a slick residue like some other brands. Highly recommended!

I was using Pop's and a friend recommended this. I think it is a little grippier than Pop's. if that makes sense. It seems to be a little stickier in getting the bow to grab the string and start the note. Still going back and forth, but it definitely works well.

If you play the Bass, this is the best rosin out there. We have used what the local store had on the shelf, we have used what the music instructor had available. Then we found out about Carlsson. Clearly a better product.

I used a very soft rosin when I lived in Chicago. My first rosin was Pops but it was messy and wasn't the greatest in a cold climate. Having moved South to a much warmer and humid climate, I read that harder rosins would work better. So far, the Carlsson rosin has worked pretty well. It is hard but doesn't create a lot of dust. I still need to wipe down the strings after practicing, but not nearly as much as when I used Pops rosin.
