After installing a jack plug, this bass sounds quite nice. The pickups are microphonic for sure, but that ain’t all bad… However the onboard filters don’t work quite as intended. It seems that the treble filter is not working, since the 4 positions only offer 2 sounds (with or without bass)...

I have played many gigs amplifying my double-bass with a downfiring Coda amp. I also have an extension cabinet, which I use when I need extra volume (outdoors or big room and no PA). The downfiring speaker gives tremendous low-end punch for a small amp. I adjust the HP-filter, so the low-end...

I write a blog about bass solutions - my main focus is double-bass. Today I wrote about how to lengthen the life over synthetic core strings bassolution This thread could be about sharing tips on synthetic core strings. How often do you change them? Do You have other ideas about how to keep...

Hi Eric, The Stat-B is supported by a small wooden wedge. You can change the angle of the element, which alters the sound. Nice to hear the D5400/Troll comparison. Of the three clips I prefer the D5400 by itself. I have tested both the Remic's on gigs and will try to pass on my experience so...

Interesting... How the mic's work on a gig or recording session is what matters - however, I also look forward to hearing your recordings :) I too will return with some soundclips of the D5400LB (which initially did not sound so great). I tried moving it around to find the perfect spot on my...

Thanks Eric :)

I had not heard the term "drive by". I guess it must be a hidden commercial...or? Sorry! I am not an native English speaker. I live in a commune, where we have all kinds of tools, machinery and parts lying around. After reading Chuck Traegers repair manual I was inspired to avoid damping the...

Hi Nathan, I look forward to hearing your comparison of the three mic's. I checked out the Troll on the web and it sure got my attention! I like the soundclips on their website. A lightweight ribbon-mic mounted under the bridge is an interesting idea. Today Thorkild mentioned in an email, that...

I did not enjoy the 5400 LB. But I remember Thorkild mentioning that placing the mic under the bridge holder would be less boomy, so I look forward to trying this out... The Stat-B does sound awful when recorded in this manner. However....! It is the only pick-up I have tried that has an...

Hello, I have uploaded my two "First-take" recordings with the Remic for bass. I also recorded a direct-out from my Schertler Stat-B. This is a bridge-mounted pick-up, which works well for me. To make the Stat-B signal resemble a mic when I play live, I will usually add a bit of short reverb...

I will not attempt to explain the technicalities of these mic's in detail... Here is a few facts that Thorkild mentioned: The LB model also picks up sound directly from the top of the bass through a sound canal that is directed at the back of the membrane... The mic's use a very thin...

There are more photos at http://bassolution.blogspot.dk/ It is basically an omni mic placed very close to the top in a spot that is resonant. Torkild who developed the mic suggests, that I also make tests with the mic placed under the string holder. The mic is very light-weight, and the foam...

Hello, I have received a pair of Remic microphones for review. I will post my results at: http://bassolution.blogspot.dk/ The link is to a blog I started writing in september this year. I welcome comments about the products or specifics You would like me to check out. Cheers, Johs

Thanks for your suggestion. I have sent a mail to GEWA.
