Sonic Research Turbo Tuner mini may be slightly smaller than the PT mini? Really great! Honestly you can't go wrong with the Polytune mini though. Preferred it to the Pitchblack mini when I had both.

Tom & Will Double Bass Bag... here's the info from them! £240 includes UK Postage. This bag is really great, and I've not found anything I prefer. However, my bass is a small 3/4 and I've managed to find something that's a tighter fit and therefore easier to move around. I doubt it'll last as long though! I would say the Tom & Will sizing suits the larger 3/4 scale basses like some of the old German ones I've tried belonging to members of this forum. Well padded, handles galore and plenty of pockets for accessories. Zips seem made to last. Only showing a bit of wear on one of the lower corners, shown in the photos. Collection welcome.

I use one of these and it’s a perfect fit and lightweight! I’ve lined mine with some neoprene for a little extra protection.

Ultimate Support AX48 Stand with all the trimmings... this bundle was about £240 when I last checked, and only seems to be available for more as individual parts now. Everything folds away into the stand for portability. Extremely stable for smaller synths and larger stage pianos. Stand was a pre-covid purchase so hasn't seen a whole lot of use at all, a few scratches here and there. The included bag is showing signs of wear at the ends as they always do. Also comes with the Mic Stand attachment as shown in the photos. Collection from Bournemouth preferred (I do travel a bit so feel free to ask). I do have the original box so postage is a possibility, but it's length makes it quite awkward I'd imagine!

@Beedster Maybe we should take it to PM! Give me a shout if you have any questions 🙂 @GraynoteI've not tried the Clarus but I'd imagine a Felix plus a power amp would be putting you in very similar territory. I just tend to look for something I really like when set flat, and tweak a little from there! -

I'm considering trying the Yamahiko at some stage, although i've been happy with the Full Circle so far in a mix. Here's a shot of the Bartlett in place. I like the ease of use, no faffing with stands/clamps etc. If you are looking for something budget friendly to fill the Schoeps role, I can highly recommend the Line Audio CM4. I use it for recording all the time, and have used it live in very low volume environments! -
I've had mine around 4 years now... I must say that the new insert that is available (and i think stock on the current model) makes this case far more useful. I do alot of supports, and quick in and out gigs, and usually don't change basses often during a set, so this really hits the spot. Far easier than carrying two cases around for me, and i never have to worry about my instruments at all.

Happy user of an M88 on an ampclamp here, just slides into place every time!

Hey @bassadder, certainly not 'better' as all the mics you mention sound fantastic... just the nature of where it's designed to be placed means more signal over bleed from other instruments, and it's EQ'd to work in the spot. I find any other mic in the same place needs a large dose of low cut to work, usually to the point where there's not much use. In my own situation the DPA/Nadine are just not capturing enough bass vs ambience to give me any benefit, and whilst the Bartlett is far better in that regard I can't seem to stop certain band members firing very loud wedges directly at my bass which makes the whole thing unviable anyway! Hope this makes any sense... The CMC6 is a dream mic, but honestly I can't see that working live for me either. I'll try to get a photo of it in place later! -
Slapping, popping and percussive bass
knicknack replied to Burns-bass's topic in EUB and Double Bass
@Burns-bassIf you want some proper tuition on the subject Ian Jennings down in Exeter is one of the UK's finest, and he might be willing to spend some time with you. He's best known for playing with Jeff Beck and Andy Fairweather Low, both sadly non-active gigs now so he may have some time on his hands! Drop me a PM if you'd like me to enquire. -
2020S Steel-Core Instrument Transformer Now discontinued, the Lightning Boy 2020S replicates to a degree the effect of the transformer on my large Cali76, which I love having in a loop even if not using the compressor. The LB is a little subtler (being passive), but does bring back some of the magic i miss without the cali, and with a bit of boost ahead of it things got very similar indeed. The more signal into it, the stronger the effect! £95 posted in the UK

Bartlett Double Bass Microphone Specially designed and EQ'd to sit in the soundhole without producing a dominant low end, I've had this for a few months and used with the Felix above. Definatley the most giggable mic option i've tried so far over the DPA, Nadine etc. That said, our stage volume is ridiculously loud and I'm giving up on the notion I can make any mic work! This came to around £250 after postage and customs, I'm seeking £150 Posted. Bass Mic – Bartlett Audio Grace Designs Felix2 Preamplifier This is the top-dog of double bass/acoustic guitar preamps! 2 channels and a bunch of routing options. In excellent condition, used a couple of times before circumstances changed, with original box/power cable etc. This is the current (2nd Gen) Version. £1150 UK postage included. SOLD FELiX2 - Grace Design
