No I didn't try his electric upright. It looks really nice but I don't know how it sound or plays. It's probably really nice but I don't think it could beat the real thing...

I use it in a loud setting as well. I play with an 11 man band with a maniacly loud drummer. It goes pretty far but in the and it will feedback as will any pick-up I guess. I have not compared it with the full circle. Before I had a scherlter stat-B. Also nice but not as full and realistic. And...

Indeed als the basses in the North Sea Jazz festival use the Yamahiko. That's because Rogier Dieges, a Rotterdam based luthier all rental basses for this festival. He also sells the yamahiko pick-up in his shop. I orderd one straight from japan for my bass and had Diego install it. I use just...

Hi Fred, Since you're dutch maybe the Hevos amps are something to consider. It's a dutch brand. I've got one and love it. Both electric and double bass sound really nice. They are not cheap but I think they are worth every euro. I play with a real loud drummer and 9 other musicians and I...

Hi there, I only know a few places in the Netherlands. The first one is in Amsterdam. Link Removed Harry Jansen is a well respected luthier in the Netherlands. Then there's one in Rotterdam (about an hour drive from Amsterdam)This is were I always go if I need work on my bass. He's...

It's been said before and I can only say it again cause it can't be said enough.... VOLVO it is. I drive a 940 everything fit's in there. I can get my entire gear in there. So that's a double bass, an eb (ooohh sinfull me) and my amp. On a bad day I also drive my guitarist around so there's...

no pics...... no bass

I've heard that the Yamahiko actually has the same problem. I've got a single one and that's actually more than enough. Sounds great. And the yamahiko also is far to expensive for me to buy 2.....

You are absolutly right.

:)

Yamahiko came first indeed. And it works perfect with a single element. Dual element is off course an option. And yes it is expensive.....

I"m also spending most of my time practicing and more and more giging. I'm far from a gear freak. The sound comes from your hands so that's where the foccus is. The only reason I mentioned the Yamahiko is because people think the Full-circle is the only pick-up in its kind. It's alway good to...

I use a Yamahiko pick-up. It's made by a nutty proffesor in Japan. It's what the Full circle is based on. Only a lot sturdier. It gives a natural sound both pizz and arco. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] It's rather expensive but in my opinion it's worth the money. Oh and you don't...

Yep it sounds like wrong technique to me. Like dBass87 wrote. Form a C. As if you are holding a can of coke our even better beer. Thumb on the back of the neck, and fingers on the fingerboard. Try practicing the right amount of strenght you have to use to get a clear nice sounding tone. Don't...

It all depends on your gear. I've got a carved german bass with a Yamahiko pick-up. Before that I used a schertler stat-B. I play electric and double bass in my band. I've got a trace elliot combo that really sucked in combination with the schertler but is in a intimate love afair with the...
