    Would it be right to think that if i try a DB in a music shop its likely to be factory set up and probably not that playable, and hence would need a good set up by a Luthier? Or is it a case of keep trying until i find one that seems to fit me so to speak, and feels comfortable and not to much of a struggle to get a note out of?

    Both are nice looking instruments, whats the pickup on the DB?

    Just out of interest what EUB did you go to? What model of DB did you end up playing?

    Hi, did you not find the transition from electric to Acoustic upright a really difficult transition? I just feel that when i try a real DB its just so impossible, so i would never know if i was playing a good one or if i would ever get to grips with it. I'm sure this must have gone through your mind when changing??

    Thanks to all so far for your valid points of view and opinions, its a great reassurance to know that theres a good knowledge base of experience out there to guide us novices. I am still erring on the side of going intermediate as i find the traditional instrument quite a tough one to play, but i'm not ruling anything out at this stage as the traditional instrument does appeal a lot to me

    Ok here's the story..... I have been playing electric bass now for some 25 years or so and I really would like to learn the upright bass but not quite sure where to start. I have only ever tried one upright which was new, but a dog to play. Whilst I understand that there is a completely different technique, approach and mindset when playing uprights, and it will be something that will take time to become proficient in, is it a case that all basses will be a dog to play until I get used to the different instrument? I have tried a variety of electric uprights, namely the NS Wav and Dean, and these are very playable. Should I start with the electric which is similar and playable and then progress to an acoustic upright. In reality will the electrics give me the sounds that a traditional acoustic will? Any suggestions as to a good playable acoustic to start on as there is nothing worse than buying cheap and fighting with the instrument, when you ar trying to make your life easy at the start? Its a big leap of faith in terms of dedication and money to spend on a traditional upright if all I get is frustration from it.....Help in this deepartment would be greatly appreciated

Its called Incompatibilidade De Gênios - Ney's bass solo starts around 2.35 but its the feel of the hole thing that I love.

The T shirts are good quality and a cut above your average merchandise jobbies. You should be able to stand out at bass events with these, and be able to identify other basschatters at 40 paces. There will be more designs coming soon and other products on offer, but these first few I will sell through here with a view to setting up a more official BC store in the future. Payment via paypal or bank transfer. If you definitely want to but, PM me with the topic 'T shirt (size in brackets)' and I will reply back to those who get in there first with payment details.

    any chance of some pics or more details about the case?

    Thats not really what they are all about. We all watch this space with anticipation though.....
  22. supabock
    Its not really about hype, its about quality and reliability, and maintaining a solid reputation. I think the parties including myself who have been privvy to such information are just as excited about the situation as we all are (well Wal owners and players), and i think the information is just little and sparse, and i am sure that Paul is not telling people and then swearing them to secrecy. Time will show what the new Wal have to offer and i think they can only get better with any of their product in time. Wal certainly are not Apple Mac but really are right up there in terms of top bass builders etc.
  23. supabock
    I'm not sure its as easy as that. I am sure there are plans in place to get things geared towards production before making a big announcement then have the order books rammed and not have the ability to deliver the product. As Wal bases are so desireble i am sure they just want to be ready......I dont think its a double top secret, but a case of just getting things in the right order.

    I have the 115 and although i like the sound and punch from a 212, with my basses i tend to get a slightly better clarity with the 115. That said, the 212 is a great cab as i had one on trial for a while from Bernie Goodfellow. I just thought that you might attract better attention if you were to drop the price a bit more than a fiver.....thats all, no offence meant...
  25. supabock
    I know but its only a fiver.........
