I did talk to Gary but he said he'd never heard of this issue. He did suggest a couple of things to try though. I haven't done that yet but will soon. Thanks. -- alonzo

I just bought a used Emanence (circa 2009??) and put on new Spirocore Weichs. I am getting the dreaded "thunk" so bad I don't want to play it. I did read about this problem in this thread (back about 10 years ago) but haven't seen any solutions for the problem. I tried the Full Circle from my...

Scott -- Thanks for the offer. If I don't find one closer I may take you up on that. The hybrid is the one I'm wanting. -- alonzo

I'm thinking about a new bass and the New Standard La Scala or Pomplona is at the top of my short list. However, I've not yet put my fingers to one (I'm in the doublebass desert!} Any chance that there's anyone fairly near (or in) Northwest Arkansas that has a New Standard that I could have a...

Thanks, Chris -- Now I can digest this material at my "snail's pace." And, I'll be watching to see how this evolves. BTW: You can tell your Admins that your work has *already* reached and helped a lot of people. -- alonzo

I suffer from pretty bad wrist/forearm/thumb pain and came across this. Sorry I can't post the link here but a google search for "ethan kind double bass" should find him. Anyone here have any experience with this? Thanks. -- alonzo

Well, I think I've cracked the last four tunes. Here's the updated list: "Periodic" = Perdido "Greatest Glove" = No Greater Love "Winter's Coming" = Autumn Leaves "Mr. K" = Have You Met Miss Jones "It Depends"...

Partially answering my own question (and, in case anyone's interested) here are the ones I've worked out so far: "Periodic" = Perdido "Greatest Glove" = No Greater Love "Winter's Coming" = Autumn Leaves "Mr. K" =...

Hello to all. First post here. Does anyone know the "real" names of the tunes in Steven Mooney's "Standard Lines" book? I've figured out a few of them but don't know most of them. Thanks. -- alonzo
