Thank you for your reply. Yes I was acquainted with the fact that he played on a Jean Baptiste Vuillaume. He later on had a “smaller version” with sloppery shoulders made by Jean Auray. Both very expensive basses of course. He was an exceptional musician and double bass player with an...

Hi y’all! Everyone knows that Charlie Haden had one of the biggest and warmest tones ever and yet I’m keep getting surprised to see him using a small Gallien Krueger combo which in my experience is one of the less warm amps I’ve tried so far and yes I know he had gut strings which I also have...

Also unless you buy that little adapter to protect from phantom which is worth a hundred more you may bump into a distracted band member who’ll screw you’re Troll up.

True! That’s the closest one. The rest are from five to six hundred. But I heard that ribbon mics were too fragile. Any of you tried it already? Maybe I should give it a go...

I agree and I’ve been onto those precise three. But the RE320 is half the price.

A Brauner Phantom? Damn! You guys must own a bank or something. Anyway that’s all really cool if only affordable. I’ve seen Larry use his on one of those regular orchestral music stands behind him. But that’s a really cool system. Besides, I’m so freakin acoustic I wouldn’t know what to...

That’s the one! Damn! As if the RNP wasn’t expensive enough Thanks a lot guys

Hi Ric! Thank you for replying. Yes I’ve heard about that one but that must’ve been back in the days. Now I’ve sewn him use something different lately.

Hi everyone! We’ve all seen Larry using a monitor speaker behind him at the height of his head instead of an amp and I also know he’s using a Schoeps mic. But what I can’t figure out is what preamp is he using to connect the mic to the speaker. I can see him using one behind him on a music...

Hi everyone! Can anyone please explain me for I have yet failed to understand what are bass bibs really for. Is it not to damage the wood on your bass with your belt buckle? Is it to spare your shirt from the rubbing on your belt buckle in case you wear your shirt outside your pants? Is it to...

Hi Everyone! I just recently heard Nancy Wilson’s record “Hollywood my way” and OMG!!! Who is that bass player? I can’t find it anywhere. He’s got the greatest sound ever! Could it be Paul? Ray? Sam? Percy? Anybody please! I gots to know! Specially on the track “you’d be so nice to come home...

Thank you very much RC! Sorry for the delay. I’ll ask my luthier here to kindly check “my mesures”. How much would it cost me to send one of those over here? Greetings from Spain!

I Like it! Would you mind telling me the prices and mesures particularly the peg mesures so I can see if it would fit my bass? Thank you very much!

That’s looks beautiful! I’m still trying to decide but it should be about half of that. What kind of wood is that?

Thank you very much for your answer Grant! That’s exactly the reason why I was thinking about the possibility of acquiring the SoundClip. Yet not sure about it either. The FullCircle is a good option but it means having it all the time on my bass which is what I’m trying to avoid plus I’d have...
