    The standard one takes approx 11mm. I say approx because there’s quite a bit of latitude in the tightening. All the ‘non Gage’ pickup jacks can be accommodated.

    I am doing a short run of my Jack clip. It gives the pickup Jack a firm fixing on the tailpiece. So firm that you can insert the Jack plug one handed. Superior to a cable tie or Velcro and an improvement on the clip that goes on the strings afterlength. Back in the day Tony Bennett’s bass player had a couple off me and was very happy. Please specify whether you have a conventional silver jack or a black David Gage; the diameters are slightly different. Nine quid should do it including postage UK.

    My work colleagues once bought me some silver cufflinks. Cello silver cufflinks.

    It’s Broadway, not Roadway but I can’t edit it. Sorry ‘bout that.

    I bought this for my DB, it made a small improvement in some situations. But it’s particularly effective with EUBs with piezo pickups. It gives the signal added resonance and brings it to life. Can be used with all instruments using a piezo pu, such as acoustic BG. £45 posted.

    It’s called networking. Always a good investment whether you get paid or not.

    Underwood double bass pickup now surplus to requirements. £105 posted

    This mic will clip on to most instruments- acoustic guitar, double bass, sax, drums etc and will send a clear signal to backline or house. Requires phantom power. Very little use. £100 posted.

    bars and bars and bars… reminds me of the pit percussionist who had rests and rests and rests on his sheet. So much that he briefly nodded off and when he came to he lost his place but thought it must be about now. So he grabbed a beater and struck the adjacent gong with a massive reverberating sound. Which stopped the whole orchestra. He turned round, bowed to the audience and announced ‘Dinner is Served’ in sonorous tones. sorry, carry on the discussion.

    I didn’t know anyone else had one of these in UK. Believe me, it’s an amazing piece of kit and performs just as well as a Felix over one channel.

    Yes, keep one. I’m well past it and will probably never play ever again. But I’ve got one bass, one amp and one cab. And a few leads. Otherwise I might suffer a crisis of finality.

    It’s not good, Pete.

    What am I listening to right now? The Proms disco night on TV. It’s awful.

    DB players have been sticking their cabs up on chairs since time immemorial. Not only is it downright ugly on stage but at that height it’s not particularly effective. Getting the cab up to above waist level, or even up to the shoulders takes the output closer to the ears. Also the sound will be well above the point where the bass is most microphonic and prone to feedback. And I agree with putting a high pass filter in the chain to bring out the mids. That way you should be able to hear yourself clearly. I’ve been using a low rise speaker stand - goes up to shoulders - with a platform on top. Mine is notched out to accept the Genzler 10-2 and drilled for a 10” Wizzy. That way no mods are required to the cab. And, ahem, it’s for sale in the amps and cabs section.

    Just a heads up, if the mods will permit. I’ve got my Genzler cab for sale in the Amps and Cabs section. It’s been my go-to and it’s only for sale because I haven’t played for a year and I’m starting to get rid of all my stuff. My Bryant is in my study looking accusingly at me as I type this but I’ve reached the tender age of 83 and a half and I’d be an embarrassment to be seen in any band these days.

    This is a versatile bass cab that I’ve used with my double bass but have heard a Fender Precision demoed through it. It consists of a 10” neo woofer with a vertical array of four 2” full range neos. This produces a solid bass with a clear mid and a ‘quick’ response. Condition is as new . Retail is £750 so £300 seems fair. I’d prefer collection or could meet up somewhere close. I’m approx 5 miles east of Evesham. Stand is not included but could negotiate.

    Tony Bennett at Glastonbury?

    If you’re prepared to destring you could address the underside of E with a countersink bit. All the holes on the front would be the same diameter and the E ball would sit snugly.
