My two, 1984 Fullerton and a 2008 AVRI

Soooooooooo been about 4 years since I bought a new bass. Wasn't out shopping (way it always goes), came across this little beauty in a friends guitar shop. The bass is a 2008 American Fender Precision 60s AVRI and frankly it's just incredible, sounds amazing. Turns out the bass was given away by the band Paramore during the promotion of the Riot album, the girl who won it didn't play so it's sat on a stand in her bedroom ever since. They definitely did more to it after this video, but it's structurally sound and sounds amazing. Now it was definitely a touring bass as I know Jeremy Davis uses some pretty low and odd tunings and this came strung with some very heavy strings, closest I could get to something that worked when trialing it was BEAD, so it wasn't just a freebie from Fender they immediately gave away. Anyway there it is, currently wearing some D'addario Half Rounds (as who has the time to wait for your rounds to go dead anymore), waiting for me to get the right session gig to use it Will it stay, who knows, but so far I'm pretty happy with it and I'm rocking a lot of Chuck Rainey lines on it currently

I'll be buying one, great option for iOS rigs, can see it sat on a PT Nano with a TU-2 to the right and a JDI to the right

I've got a KK Baby Bass KB-1 I've been thinking of getting rid of if you're interested, I got it as an easy to move Double Bass alternative for practices but have decided just to suck up the hassle of moving the real thing

What's people's favourite octaver app, I need to run 2 apps for something I'm playing with as I can't switch oct and chorus on independently in jamup and if I'm running 2 jamups I could easily be running 1 jamup and 1 anything else. But struggling with the volume drop and it not quite having that proper oc-2 vibe

I'm not sure you'll need that radial and the line 6. I use my line 6 with the jdi but would use the av if I have an apogee jam. Don't worry about it crashing I've been gigging mine over 3 years now. Gone down to mostly just using my phone these days over the iPad. Amazed at these GB amp sims, thanks for the tip again When I get the pickup fitted properly to my double bass next week I'm going to go hard at getting a preset that works for it.

I'd try the ground lift to start with. Also make sure your headphone cable is good quality as are the adaptors going to the di If I was running this rig there is a specific radial stagebug di which is headphone to xlr and 1/4inch I've only used the line 6 really (started off with the original awful irig) and that's straight into my jdi, I now have 3 of them and I'm glad I won't be affected by the lack of a headphone jack on future iPhones. I'll definitely be checking out that di in GarageBand though, didn't know that existed, thanks

I believe that's the one I'm borrowing from Happyjack so I look forward to trying it

Macclesfield but to play with a Mesa Walkabout Combo and have a coffee I can travel

Suppose if you've not got anything better. I'm down London way sometime in November, maybe even a few times so could return it in person and we can have a natter

Cheers, will try it out

Hi guys, So I've been playing Double Bass now since Happyjack forced one into my grubby mitts a few years ago. I did my first studio session on it yesterday (paid and everything) so it's feeling like I need to give it more care and attention (especially since I'm doing 30+ gigs a year on it). Basically I've been avoiding buying anything for it, I have a Shadow pickup crudely fitted to the bridge, not sure it's even working correctly, I've been running this into my iPad rig for over a year and it's .... meh..... passable So I was wondering, since quite a few of you know me and this is all Happyjack's fault anyway, is would anyone be willing to lend me a double bass preamp? I'll happily pay postage costs etc. ...and yes I know I should have come to the Bass Bass in Derby and I could have tried out everything but this is the problem I have, I play double bass and I don't drive. I just don't know if I should get a new pickup, preamp, mic, mic clamp, db amp (it sounds awful into my Ampeg b100r) but I'm constantly trying to keep it as minimal as possible. So there it is, I fall on your good graces
