ubassman Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Nice Gamba Samba ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatgoogle Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) She's very pretty, even with her battle scars. Need to get the fingerboard extended again though. Also a revolution solo pickup through an ampeg cl and 8x10 cab. Right behind me, not one bit of feedback at all. Sounded great both pizz and arco.

ubassman Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I can almost hear the way she will sound ! She has the most fantastic proportions - how deep are those ribs !! ...look like 9 inchers to me !! BTW whats the deal with needing the FB extending ?

fatgoogle Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I can only stop an A but ideally really need to get to a B for some of the solo concerto's. I originally couldn't even stop a G so had it extended to an A but now..... Ill probably see if i can have a curved solo extension added. Also it's nice when you have to play harmonics up high to have some visual representation on the fingerboard of where they'll be. Yeah she's pretty big. It was sold to me as a 3\4 size when i didn't know but its closer to 4/4 or 7/8's in size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatgoogle Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Here's another one, featuring my yita bow. I bring it to gigs like these and keep the Bizan for orchestral and completely acoustic gigs.

stingrayPete1977 Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 Jake really liked my Yita bow, he confirmed my suspicion that it is my awful technique that is to blame rather than the bow, of course Jake gave me a few pointers which should get me going though.

geoffbassist Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Great photo of the Yita bow. I've heard good reviews from pretty much everyone I know who's bought one. Great value too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] +1 I think bows are really hard to get hold of and compare so I always love to try new ones out. Especially as I play German which you tend to see less often.

TPJ Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Shot of my BSX Allegro 5 string in Nijmegen, NL a few weekends ago. It was hot that day.

I really like the sound of one particular note on the C string and only ever play that note. It is my gig so no-one complains but I never get booked anywhere else.
