Hi Guys Anyone here flown to the US with a double bass?, going to LA in September and need advice, whether to take my bass or hire something there. Cheers Laurence

Hi Guys I've been following this thread and thought I'd throw in my experience. I have a set of Ultimate Ears UE7-Pros and a Sennheiser G3, I run my basses from a Stageclix in to an Avalon U5 straight in to a X32 and run a through in to an Aguliar DB751 and DB212. I use an iPad to control my own mix. I sing BV's and use a Sennheiser e865. The sound is wonderful and for anyone who's interested it's definitely worth it, everything is clear, rich and precise and unless you are using optigates on the mic's there's a nice level of ambience.

Hi Ben I would love one of these and I agree with all you've said my only problem is that my end pin rubber touches the end pin housing in other words I have no end pin at all (big bass little guy) any ideas

Just spent 2 days in the studio recording various music song etc. all the points above are right on the money, yes you need a good bass the right strings etc. and a good mic. I'm a big fan of ribbon mics but my biggest observation is the better I play the better I sound recorded.
