NOW can I call myself a double bass player? ;)
gypsyjazzer replied to Bilbo's topic in EUB and Double Bass
Excellent--swinging all the way. Excellent band. 10 out of 10. -
Should a F/B on an EUB be perfectly straight [b]or[/b] 'neck relief' (as in guitars) [b]or[/b] have slight curvature all the way down? Does the same for apply to the D/B?

Has anyone tried 'Innovation' strings' on their Eminence EUB? Regarding 'Innovation' strings---being a braided-core & nylon string- do they hold their tuning well? Your views welcome.

Probably a dumb question for you jazz'ers out there: How would you go about making one chord--Dm7 in this case--sound i[b]nteresting[/b] for 8 bars? --what percentage of the chord tones would you use?--passing notes?---playing in a scale'ic way? --obviously knowing the scale of Dm7 inside out. Look forward to your knowledgeable replies.
-
Many thanks for your replies--much appreciated.
-
Has anyone used the Shure SM57 for acoustic DB? Did it work well? Your comments most welcome.
-
Can anybody recommend a non-condenser mic. for the DB? Anyone tried the 'H' clamp-made by Explor Audio?--Does it work well?
-
I have a home-made EUB. I want to try out it out with a magnetic pickup. Has anybody one---not to expensive---they wish to dispose of? PM me with details if you have. Many thanks.
-
Many thanks 'ubassman' for a great reply. I have been into the websites you mention--indeed a murky world when mixing strings! Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.

Many thanks for your replies. Thanks for the info. about the Wilson K4 pickup. The strings that I have tried vary from 'Newer to older'. When you mention 'design length' do you mean that only use--for example---a 3/4 length string on a 3/4 bass? Am I correct in thinking that strings with different windings & different cores will give different tonal & volume output?--so if you 'mix & match'---like a lot of bass players do--- you are bound not to get a matchable sound from the strings.
-
I have noticed an inbalance of volume when using strings from different makers--would a graphic EQ sort out the inbalance problem? If so what graphic EQ works well for you?
-
Has anybody experimented with bridges on their [b]solid body EUB?[/b]---that is bridges made from different hardwoods. Notice any difference in tone between the woods used?
