Lfalex v1.1 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 It'd be better if it were one of those little clip-on LED lamps, so you could play in the dark. And if it had a strobe mode... well, the possibilities are endless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMoon Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Larry Graham had a custom one on his Moon J4 back in the 70’s. Nothing new under the sun (or moon)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my thought, and it appears the actual intention. I just thought the illustration was hilarious.

Beer of the Bass Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 It makes a little more sense when you know the mic they're imitating, the DPA double bass mic. But yep, definite failure of communication somewhere with the listing and graphics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterMute Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 That DPA mic lives and dies by the capsule suspension, some very odd harmonics in the strings after the bridge. I have to say they nailed it for live performance, not so much in the studio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baloney Balderdash Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) The perfect way to amplify finger noises for that coveted authentic acoustically played electric bass sound, and as a bonus it mutes your low E and high G string in a lovely unmusical way. A must have tool for the experimental bass player. A new clever way to prepare your bass for new musical frontiers, to dare go where no man has gone before!

SH73 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Personally, I'd give it a go and would blend in the sound with pick up sound. Depends 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baloney Balderdash Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) Well, I invented a pickup that only amplifies the pauses in between songs. Just wait till I get it on the market, I am confident it is going to be a huge success. Can't believe no one else ever thought about that.
