Gage have just released a prototype piezo pickup that is U-shaped and slides between the bridge adjuster wheel (assuming you have one) and the foot of the bridge. Sounds like a neat idea, more convenient to instal and remove than the Full Circle Picture and description here: https://www.davidgage.com/lifeline.php TB discussion here: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f4/realist-lifeline-950349/#post13776693

He's fine, probably just being rubbish at spotting PM notification. I've FaceBook messaged him that you are trying to contact him

I am looking to sell a pristine (imported from US manufacturer by me in past year) Acme Low B2 2x10" cab (its the 4 ohm version). Its very hi-fi and excellent for double bass, being very uncoloured (a la Euphonic Audio). Has tons of bottom end (hence name) and goes loud with sufficient juice (500W is ideal). My problem is, superb though it is, it weighs 50 pounds and I need ultralight with my back. Asking £400 collected (will post for £15 in UK) - a 30% discount to what it would cost to import new (c.£575 incl shipping and import duty). You know my feedback so when I say its pristine, it really is pristine! Specs here: [url="http://www.acmebass.com/#/products"]http://www.acmebass.com/#/products[/url] The blurb from the website says:[list] [*][font=arial,helvetica,sans serif][size=2]A very compact cabinet with the bass extension of a good 18" subwoofer. [/size][/font] [list] [*][font=arial,helvetica,sans serif][size=2]Amazing transient response; from the fundamental of the open B-string, right up to the highest harmonics of a C or F-string. [/size][/font] [list] [*][font=arial,helvetica,sans serif][size=2]Loud enough for a single cabinet to hold its own against most drummers. [/size][/font] [list] [*][font=arial,helvetica,sans serif][size=2]High power handling. 350W RMS is a good starting point due to the relatively low efficiency of the cabinet. 500W RMS is ideal. The more power, the better the sound. (Within reason - It's only a 2x10"!) [/size][/font] [/list] [/list] [/list] [/list][list] [*][font=arial,helvetica,sans serif][size=2]Use it with an upright bass for loud jazz gigs and be rewarded with true acoustic tone. [/size][/font] [list] [*][font=arial,helvetica,sans serif][size=2]A pair makes a very loud, versatile and compact rig. Stack them end on end for amazing dispersion and clarity or side by side for enormous kick. Use them as a high quality PA. For those occasions where true bass response is paramount, monitor your recordings with them. They really are that 'HiFi'! And the entire rig will still fit on the back seat of your compact hatch[/size][/font] [/list] [/list] Sale only (no trades) I'm afraid

My endless string experimenting has left me with two spare sets of Mittels I don't need: [s]1. A set of 3/4 size Spiro Mittels in generally good but not excellent condition (typically for these strings, there is some fray/silk damage especially at the peg end from fitting and removal - however the playing area of the strings is in excellent shape and these have years of life in them). Will sell for [b]£50 posted[/b][/s]GONE 2. A set of 3/4 Spiro MIttels that I bought recently off BassChat for which the silks are frayed but strings otherwise good with years of life on ADG (better condition in fact than the set above); the E though has some breaks in the metal windings around the B (which are rough enough to catch on the finger and buzz on the board) and is to be frank only worth keeping as an emergency backup. So effectively this is a three-quarter set with a dodgy E. I think I paid £45 for the lot and I will sell for [b]£40 posted[/b].

Just bought a micro amp from Harry. Delivered super fast, exactly as described and the whole deal was seamless. Many thanks mate!

[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1358809950' post='1945613'] I do wonder why he bothers. He's paid just short of £140 including delivery and is trying to sell it for £167. Subtract eBay and paypal fees from that and he can't be making much. [/quote]especially if you factor in the costs of beeswax, oscilloscopes, microbes ( of relief) and which ever poor schmuck has to photograph him in a selection of fields

Hi Chris, its very clear/hi-fi and uncoloured to my ears. A bit like Euphonic Audio in character. Goes very low and can handle 5 strings (hence Low B name), not that I have a 5 stringer! Gwilym has a pair of B1's (half a B2!) and I think Dood used to own a B2 so you could PM them for an unbiased third party opinion? Here's some US reviews as I couldn't find any decent Youtube clips http://www.talkbass.com/reviews/showproduct.php/product/187/title/low-b2/cat/187 http://www.activebass.com/r78--Acme-Low-B2-Cabinet

Spanish/flamenco style double bass from Renaud Garcia Fons
Clarky replied to Clarky's topic in EUB and Double Bass
Just wow! Most amazing arco I've ever seen -
PM Bilbo, he has the tab
-
Erm, it looks exactly the same site to me? Some new stock arrivals but thats all?? Confused am I
-
Looks superb - like I said in a similar thread by gsgbass (who picked up a beautiful sunburst/rosewood US Jazz) - when they are on their game Fender USA are making some really lovely basses in their current guise

Steve just bought an Acoustic Image amp off me. Whole deal, from first PM to payment via Paypal, was a couple of hours max! How easy is that? All good

I imported this cab from the US manufacturer about 9 months ago. Its utterly superb for loud double bass applications and as a hi-fi cab for electric bass. Its the louder 4 ohm version as these are noted as slightly inefficient cabs, requiring a lot of "juice" (500W from an amp is good) to get maximum volume and performance. I cannot fault this amp for performance. However, I have a dodgy back and at 50 pounds its too heavy for me to hoik in and out of venues. I am going to replace with a lightweight, high quality 1x12" (EA or Epifani) for louder gigs with my DB. So this uber-quality and hard-to-find on these shores cab is up for grabs at a very reasonable £400 collected. It cost me about £550 to import, including duty/HMRC costs and delivery. It is in perfect condition and comes with a flimsy (frankly rubbish) slip cover from the manufacturer, which at least prevents knocks and keeps out the elements. Would prefer meet-up in London area (I live nr Hammersmith in West London) but I have found the box so I can post at cost It looks completely new and here's a link to a pic of an identical cab: [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=220939&d=1311697963"]http://www.talkbass....39&d=1311697963[/url] Marketing blurb and specs from website [url="http://www.acmebass.com/#/products"]http://www.acmebass.com/#/products[/url] : [size=2][size=2]• A very compact cabinet with the bass extension of a good 18" subwoofer.[/size][/size] [size=2][size=2]• Amazing transient response; from the fundamental of the open B-string, right up to the highest harmonics of a C or F-string.[/size][/size] [size=2][size=2]• Loud enough for a single cabinet to hold its own against most drummers.[/size][/size] [size=2][size=2]• High power handling. 350W RMS is a good starting point due to the relatively low efficiency of the cabinet. 500W RMS is ideal.

Hi Gareth, the only thing I could really do with is a nice lightweight but high quality 1x12" (EA or Epifani) to go louder with my DB than my Crazy8 (1x8") cab. I have an Acme Low B2 (2x10") which sounds superb but at 50 pounds is too much for my glass back and will be up for sale soon. Don't suppose you want rid of one of your Epifani's?
