Thanks for the very useful information 'TheRev'--much appreciated.

Would there be a difference in volume / tone of a Bass top made from laminated spruce & solid spruce? Your knowledge welcome.

Part exchange my D/B (believed to be of German origin from circa 1880) for Eminance EUB with cash difference. [b]Details of D/B:[/b] I have owned the D/B for approx. 20 years, bought from a classical bassist. Repairs had been done to the bass before I purchased, no trouble since purchasing. During my ownership it has had a new ebony F/B--new quality single tuners fitted--and a top quality bridge fitted. It is a flat back, two piece back of maple. The two piece table of spruce has a fine grain opening to the flanks. Set up with steel strings for jazz--a good solid bass with a good solid sound. Will sell for £6000 or part exchange for an Eminance EUB. email for photo's to: [email protected] (North Derbyshire area.) -
Many thanks everybody for your very useful info. A 'lot' of EUB's to look at. I have had the Palatino now for a no. of years--as an alternative to D/B for some gigs. Many modifications along the way---pick-ups / made different body supports / converted a drum stand to play& hold---never happy!

I have a 'Palatino'--thinking of upgrading. Time to move on. A few questions: a) Are the semi-acoustic's nearer the D/B sound? The 'Palatino' is awkward to hold---poor design. I have converted a drum stand to fix the 'Palatino on`--works OK--[b]but[/b]---the stand does tend to move. Those of you with EUB's on stands do you have the same problem? Also with the 'Palatino' on the stand it does not feel as good as having body contact with the bass, even with the poor design. c) In your opinion what are the best EUB's out there--for sound & holding. Look forward to your knowledgeable advise. Thanks.

[b]How accurate are digital caliper readings?[/b] When reading a string gauge I can get various readings--somtimes reading in the same place---sometimes along different parts of the string. (I have changed the battery in the caliper.) How accurate is string making? Is there a difference in quality of buying a cheap digital caliper to buying a more expensive one?

I'm a D/B player but I also play guitar. My Question is: Anybody out there who is knowledgeable about the tonal qualities of woods used for making bridges for an archtop acoustic guitar?. Any preference between rosewood / ebony / maple for tone?
-
Does any one have a cheap'ish D/B end of F/B magnetic pickup they wish to dispose off?--for an inexpensive Bass? PM me if you have. Many thanks.

Thanks guys--good info.

Is there a big difference in buying a fairly good 'low end of the market' Bass Guitar (Say under £200) to paying, say, £1000 or more? Is it like most like most things in life---'you get what you pay for' syndrome? Your advice most welcome on the good Bass Guitars---up to say £400--and the one's to avoid. Thanks

Hi Grangur I live in High Peak, which is north Derbyshire. I would not ship---collect or meet up somewhere.

When considering a separate amp & cab would buying both from the same manufacturer be the best bet?---as both designed to work together in the best possible way?
-
Does anyone know where I can obtain (or who makes it) the tacky 'putty' that is used by some pick-up manufacturers to adhere pick-ups to soundboards?--very pliable--leaves no marks when removed--can be used again. (A bit like 'Bluetack'--but more pliable).

I am about to invest in quality leads----from DB to amp. What are you experiences of leads---the more you pay the better the quality, or is that a misnomer? Your preferences of makes? Are the 'Monster' make worth the money?
