    Gear-wise, you definitely need a small amp, anything with a small footprint like the GK microbass is perfect. I'm using my aggie for my current show but it's a bit OTT. You shouldn't need to bring your own di or music stand. They should be supplied by the theatre company. Don't forget your blacks or a pencil. Playing-wise, make shure the pad is marked accordingly for page turns etc. It's very easy to be caught out by fast changes and all of a sudden you're trying to read the part upside down off the floor wondering what the hell went wrong. A simple marking of 'open all 5 pages, move to left or VS' in massive letters makes all the difference. Oh and bring some earplugs, the brass can be painfully loud in the confined space of a pit.

    [quote name='eude' post='269579' date='Aug 25 2008, 04:29 PM']Hey man, if you can wait till Thursday I'll take the 21 footer off you. Need to wait till payday you see. If that's cool, how do you like yer reddies? PayPal? Bank Transfer? P.S. I think I've met you before, here in Edinburgh. Your drummer, with Big Strides anyway, Lewis is the big bro of one of my pals, Debbie. I came to see guys play at Cabaret Voltaire, last year, or maybe the year before. Awesome gig, had a wee natter with Lewis after, so I'm pretty sure we where introduced. How's the new album coming along? Cheers, Eude[/quote] Hi Eude, It's a small world! Love Edinburgh and that club's a great venue. New album sounds great, think it's in for mastering at the mo and should be out soon. Unfortunately I've since left the band so won't be doing the next Japan tour to promote it. Gutted. No worries about Thursday but I'll be gigging in France then and won't be back till Monday so can send it after that. If that's ok I'll stick it on hold and we can sort out paypal when I get back? Cheers, Chris

    [quote name='alembic1989' post='269784' date='Aug 25 2008, 09:32 PM']Hi Chris, thanks for the reply. I have a variety of basses and was hoping to be able to use them all through the same unit...the idea being that it would be cheaper than getting a preamp installed in each of my basses ...which would cost a lot. Most of my basses are active.[/quote] In that case why not try a dedicated outboard bass pre like the EBS Microbass or the Aguilar tone hammer. There's loads of info on the site on the microbass and the Aguilar is soon to be released. Neither have full parametric eq but I've never felt the need for it with electric bass. I'm quite interested in the Aguilar myself, it would save me bringing my rig to a lot of gigs.

    Hi there, Welcome to the forum. I have an equinox for sale at the moment. Great piece of kit and works brilliantly for double bass. Being desiged for piezo pickups it has a very high input impedence (3.9M ohm if I rember correctly) so should work fine with passive bass guitars but may not work properly with active ones. What instrument are you intending on using with it? Chris

    Yeah, that comment was slightly tongue in cheek. Loads of people use chamber basses because of their size, Edgar Meyer and Dave Holland to name a few. Easy to tour with, and small scale means you can shred with ease. Whilst they can be great for the virtuoso and small ensemble stuff, imo they can't reproduce the same fundamental as the bigger instruments. I suppose it's down to what sound you want. Personally I prefer more depth to my sound.

    Way too many cables lying around the house so these are up for grabs, one's 21ft, the other 12ft. Right angled jack to straight jack. Great heavy duty cables. Good condition. ALL SOLD

    The Fishman Full Circle is great, and I just happen to be selling one (shameless plug)

    I play french cause it's what i started on. If I'm bored in rehearsals I'll switch to german, can't play with one at all though. It's like writing with my left hand.

    What a find! £75! You'll spend a hell of a lot more getting them sorted though. My advice is stick that cello straight on ebay as it is, get the 1/2 size set up properly and that crack sorted (depending on cost) and then sell it too, (it ain't a bass if it's that small). Then you'll have a decent pot to do up the 3/4 properly. Word of advice though, a guitar is a very different instrument to a bass. If you can't find a dedicated bass luthier in your area, a violin/cello luthier is the next best thing.

    Can't believe this didn't sell! One of the very best 410s on the market at less than half the rrp. Have a bump.

    Same here, just take my trusty p bass and if anything goes wrong, fix it on the gig. That's half the fun. I had my E string snap on my double bass once, had to play the entire second half on one string cause the tuning was so f****d. I do always carry spare strings and a spare bow to gigs though.

    Neither can I, though the reason I'm selling it is to buy a tiny neo cab!
