    I bought this a few months ago on here to amplify my double bass. It's sensational - EA's trademark transparent sound with plenty of EQ options - but a week ago I was offered an Acoustic Image Doubleshot and I've decided to pair that with my AI Clarus for DB amplification. As a result this - and the Acme Low B series II cab I bought with it - are up for sale. I believe (as far as I can tell from reading descriptions online) this is the series 2 version of the Doubler. I'm sure most people here know exactly what it is - great, transparent sound for DB and electric bass. There's a review by a Talk Bass user here: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/euphonic-audio-doubler-ii.1288121/ The amp is in fine condition and everything works as it should. Comes with a kettle lead of course, but I don't have the original packaging. Happy to post at buyer's expense, thanks.

    Bass looks great, but I really want your reel-to-reel and record collection. Bit of old school audio heaven there.

    My double bass tutor has decided to return to fulltime study and I'd love to find someone else who I can either visit or who comes to my place (TA11 7DT). I realise there are plenty of people who will teach online, but in my experience nothing beats a face-to-face lesson. The double bass 'scene' in this part of the world is pretty small so I can't think of anyone obvious, but if there's a teacher out there who's up for in-person lessons I'd be very glad to hear from them. Thanks, Richard

    Thanks!

    … or would both pups need to go into a splitter then into the same amp input?

    Perhaps this is more trouble than it’s worth, but can I mix signals from a Full Circle and a Schertler Stat B? I have an EA Doubler which has both channels active simultaneously (as I understand it) so it feels possible. But I don’t quite understand which inputs I’d use. Full Circle in high impedance presumably, but would Schertler be ok in low? Thanks

    Thanks Dan… I’ll run that past the luthier at Bristol violin shop and see if he can decipher it.

    Thanks… much appreciated. No rush

    Thanks Dan… appreciated

    Do you happen to know if this is the metric version .. bristol violin shop fit an adjustable bridge that only takes the metric vesion of the full circle apparently. Thanks!

    That’s a bargain. Chambers seems like such an enigma…. I love the anecdote about how the music would sometimes bring him to tears.

    I’ve played this bass and it’s sensational. Low action but masses of bite and depth.
  13. Richard Jinman
    Great advice… I’ll dig out those albums.

    Something I'm struggling with is when to use a two feel and when to walk. When I got a grasp of walking I tended to see everything as a chance to walk ... until my teacher reigned me in. He suggested a two feel is often more appropriate for ballads for example. I guess it's often the case when you're learning an instrument - the tendency to paint every inch of the canvas because you can. All part of the fascination of learning...

    Me too…. But the ‘easy’ options sound great. And to be fair the number of people in the audience thinking ‘he’s leaning on root five a bit heavily’ is likely to be minute (unless you’re at a jazz club or a double bass convention I guess). Not that I don’t want to progress, perform chord subs on the fly etc, but I think one of the wonderful things about DB is that simple lines played in the pocket sound so damn good.
  16. Richard Jinman
    are yours low or medium tension?
  17. Richard Jinman
    Admittedly, I'm something of a newbie in regards to DB, but they all sound incredibly similar to me. I get a similar feeling when people discuss the nuances of red wine ... just can't hear/taste much of a difference. My cloth ears no doubt.
  18. Richard Jinman
    That’s a great tip… thanks

    Yes, that sounds a bit scary. Pandora's box.

    ...and a very nice amp I see. Is that the v2 of the doubler? And I presume you used that cab with it?
  22. Richard Jinman
    *By high price I mean you can't exactly buy 3 alternative sets and give them a go like you might with an EB.

    I'm acutely aware that string preferences are entirely personal, but given the high price of DB strings I was hoping for some advice from the more experienced players here. I've been using Spirocore Lights from day one on the advice of my teacher and clearly they're the go-to string for pizz, jazz etc. I'm playing with 2 bands btw - trad and gypsy jazz. I like/love the Spiros, but I have zero experience of any other string. Is there life beyond Spiros? I'm imagining something perhaps a little easier on the fingers without going completely gut etc, but which retains or even improves the Spiro sound. Madness? Should I just stick with what I know? Any thoughts appreciated, thanks
  24. Richard Jinman
    I would love to give it a go…
  25. Richard Jinman
    Love this…. Hard to run with a DB though
