No, you're not supposed to scratch new rosin.
There's no definitive answer to this question since every bassist has different preferences when it comes to rosin. Some bassists prefer to use cello rosin because it provides a more focused sound, while others find that it produces too much bow noise. Ultimately, it's up to the bassist to experiment with different types of rosin to see what works best for them.
You can use violin rosin on bass, but it's not the best option. Bass rosin is thicker and darker, so it's better suited for the lower strings.
Rosin is a solid form of resin that is derived from pine trees. It is often used as an ingredient in lacquers, varnishes, and adhesives. Rosin can also be used as a wood preservative. While rosin does not technically expire, it can become hard and brittle over time. This can make it difficult to use for its intended purpose. If you have a hard time using rosin that is more than a few years old, it may be time to replace it.

Kolstein Ultra Formulation Supreme Bass Rosin
$234
This is a comparison of Pop's Bass Rosin and Samuel Kolstein's Bass Rosin. Both are excellent, but Kolstein's is my favorite for this reason.Even though Pop's is excellent and one of the most popular rosin brands for double bassists, I have always preferred Kolstein's brand (and not just because I had a bass and bow made by Sam Kolstein for many years; in terms of performance, it just outperforms Pop's). Kolstein is the perfect consistency to offer you a good grip without being too sticky, runny, etc., especially in warm weather. Pop's is simply too soft. Additionally, unlike Pop's, it does not get overly hard or have a propensity to fracture in cooler conditions. When using Kolstein, even if you use a little bit more rosin than is necessary, it won't "glob" up on your bow hair and produce the "gravely" sound that is made when there is too much rosin present behind the note. It gives you a great grip while preserving the natural feel and sound of the bow hair on the string (also a little secret is that I always carry a toothbrush and brush off any excess rosin and separate the hairs). Because Pop's is so soft, less skilled players may use excessive amounts of rosin, which can significantly impair sound by causing rosin buildup on the bow hair.The quantity of the Kolstein brand is significantly less than the Pop's, as can be seen from the photographs that have been shared. Why? Contrary to popular belief, if you use high-quality bow hair, you really don't need much rosin at all. For example, if you use "AAA" level Moroccan horse hair in black or salt and pepper, you only need a small amount of rosin; if you use the same quality but in white, you only need a little bit more because the hair is naturally less coarse. Before you even use any rosin, you will notice a significant difference in the bow sound if you ask your bow repairer/luthier for this sort of hair. NEVER make a bow with fake hair. Rosin and synthetic hair make for a terrible tone.Additionally, the Kolstein rosin itself is enclosed in a rubber sleeve (see photographs) that prevents the rosin from adhering to the sides of the exterior gold cardboard casing and preserves the rosin's structural integrity within it. Simply letting the rubber go after rolling it down just enough to have the bow cross it twice will keep everything neatly in place. This is an improvement over the earlier version, which was enclosed in a cardboard case that you had to tear off.As evidenced by the Pop's rosin (which was mistakenly supplied to me by a music instrument rental store with a piece of the paper cup pulled off). Rosin frequently melts out of the cup and sticks to the plastic cup once it is removed from the paper cup holder. When it isn't melting, it usually starts to crack.By using Kolstein's All-Weather grade sparingly on healthy bow hair, you will be protected for well over a year. This is the super version, which also works. AWESOME PLAYING!!

What you pay for, you get. Be careful because all bass rosin is delicate and will melt in warm weather. This rosin is the same as other rosins and serves the purpose for the bass players in my public school. It is suggested for usage in schools. For the player that is a professional or semi-pro, I would purchase a higher quality rosin. Keep in mind that different rosins may be needed in various climates. (Humidity has a significant impact)

best rosin available. Period. Carlsson is a dark rosin that is much softer than most, but it also lasts longer and provides a grip unlike any other rosin can. I've used it for solo and orchestral work and have discovered that it works incredibly well in both situations.The only example I can think of is Baroque, when the grip is just out of the ordinary. Furthermore, it melts quickly in the automobile, so never leave it there.Best rosin available in every respect.

Exceptionally good rosin for the money. Because it is a little more solid than other rosins, I prefer it because I don't have to worry about my kids trying to melt it. The cost is also quite good.
There are a few ways to remove rosin from your bass strings. You can use a soft cloth or a piece of paper towel to gently wipe the strings clean. You can also use a mild soap and water solution to remove any build-up of rosin. If the rosin is really caked on, you can use a sharp object like a razor blade or a utility knife to scrape it off. Be careful not to damage the strings while you're doing this.
There is no one definitive answer to the question of how much rosin one needs - it depends on individual factors such as the type of instrument being played, the weather, and one's own perspiration level. However, as a general rule of thumb, it is generally advisable to have enough rosin so that it can be seen on the bow hair but not so much that it is clumping or flaking off.
You should rosin your bass bow every time you play.
There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on personal preference. Some violinists prefer light rosin as it produces a smoother sound, while others prefer dark rosin for its stronger grip. Ultimately, it is up to the individual player to experiment with different types of rosin to see which one works best for them.
Rosin is a solid form of resin that is derived from pine trees. It is typically amber or yellow in color and is used in a variety of products, including adhesives, lubricants, and paints. Although rosin is considered to be safe for human exposure, some health concerns have been raised about its potential toxicity. Inhaling rosin dust may cause irritation to the nose, throat, and lungs. High levels of exposure could lead to more serious health effects, such as difficulty breathing, coughing, and wheezing.Skin contact with rosin may cause irritation
If you're a violinist, you know that rosin is essential to getting a good sound out of your instrument. But you may wonder whether you should be cleaning the rosin off your strings after each practice session. Here's the thing: a little bit of rosin on your strings is actually good for them. It helps to grip the strings and produces a more vibrant sound. So you don't need to go crazy with the cleaning. But if your strings are starting to look gunky, it's probably time for a cleaning. The best way to do it
