    Hi all! I got my lovely double bass a few weeks ago, but I now need a pickup and a case to go with it. All the case needs is decent wheels, and all the pickup needs to be able to do is do handle both arco and pizz. Let me know what you've got

    [quote name='Chlo_treacher' timestamp='1323609803' post='1464953'] Here's a stupidly funky tune my gran (bizarre I know) used to play a lot when me and my brother were younger. Usually we'd end up dancing around the living room in our pyjamas too it. Happy memories, killer track! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Sl5VurCaIQ[/media] [/quote] Really cool! That's obviously got a really big Michael Jackson feel, but that's not really a problem right ? Synth bass like that is just awesome though - how about some Cameo?

    I haven't, actually. Which set are you using?

    Simple one, this - I seem to have trouble with my strings not sounding even enough. I understand it's not going to be 100pc perfect, but I have trouble with things such as quiet D and loud G strings. Doesn't seem to be related to set up. Who has some good suggestions for good sets of even bass strings? Thanks

    Just thought I'd post to say that all's been completed thoroughly nice and helpful person and I'm really happy with the double bass. Now, how to play the blasted thing...

    Great suggestions guys - thanks very much. That Thomann double bass looks pretty good actually. How do you go about instructing them what kind of set up you want? And for a complete beginner, what kind of action would be suitable?

    Hello everybody! As the title says, I'm now starting the rather complex process of getting hold of a double bass. I'm really not too fussy at the moment, but it has be reasonably playable (I'm too worried about injuries) and not have any significant damage (I already realise that sometimes double basses can sustain some damage and be okay). I'm around the Brighton area but I'm obviously willing to travel to have a look. Bearing in mind that I hardly know anything about double basses, £600 give or take is my rough budget by the looks of things at the moment. Thanks very much

    These get so many good reviews - as much as I like my Boss LS-2, this is another level.

    Actually - is the Tokai neck not a standard Fender pocket? Have just read on a few places that it isn't .

    I don't want to be facetious, but after a near full-on electric shock due to a defeated ground running through my amp it has got to be my socket tester. They're not much money, but I would recommend it to ANYBODY. It scared the absolute hell out of me and I was lucky to get away with a numb left arm for 20 minutes.

    I'm really interested in this! Could you send me some pictures please? Can PM you my details.

    Hello all, Will put up some pics soon, but I'm thinking about selling this pedal as I'm not really using it a great deal at the moment. It's in very good condition minus a few surface scratches on one side. Let me know if you have any questions

    [quote name='BigJim' timestamp='1316426222' post='1377768'] Bump or open to trades? [/quote] What were you possibly looking at for trades? I must profess to still be interested in this, but I just don't have the money to commit at the moment.

    This is the problem mate - sometimes, I have been hitting the limiter on my amp which feels really nasty 'under my hands'. Would using a power amp like this be an effective solution? My girlfriend actually also has a Barefaced Compact which I can use on a few occasions, but for a number of reasons I don't want to take it around all of the time it's not technically mine for one!

    Hello all! I have a Markbass SA450 amp, and I am considering buying a power amplifier to give me some more headroom on my bigger gigs with one cabinet (a Barefaced Compact) such as this one: This, by the looks of things, has an XLR in on the back and in mono configuration outputs 600w at 8 ohms which is double of the Markbass SA450. Would this interface okay with the XLR out on the amp? The SA450 also has an adjustable line out level which could prove very handy for setting the level right going into the power amp. My logic here is I can take this with me in the boot of my car and if it turns out I need for volume I can whip it out and gain instantly much more headroom. Any advice would be great appreciated!

    [quote name='cd_david' post='1322338' date='Jul 31 2011, 06:22 PM']This came out of a 96 Jazz, Fender 50th. Anniversary bass, was replaced with an East Retro, so the wiring wasn't touched with only the pickup wires removed. Lovely Bakelite style knobs, not the smaller modern repros. In great condition, I have no idea what to ask so I will put it up for swaps WHY? Cheers Dave[/quote] PM'd
