Greetings and happy new year!! I unexpectedly purchased this DB over the Christmas holiday. I think (Hope) I got a good deal. I have been playing BG for many years. I also have an NS CR-4 EUB which I enjoy playing. Now that I have the DB, what information and advice can I get about this...

Just added this one.

Thank you Wasnex. I have used the fixed stand tripod for several years both in an upright fashion but also to position the instrument in a horizontal position similar to a BG on a strap. I have indeed marked the tripod for repeatability. Since I’m primarily a BG player, I find the fixed tripod...

Thank you again. This gives me an idea of a starting point for finding the right position.

Thank you Preacher. Do you have a photo of your setup? Since the contraption is infinitely adjustable, Id love to find a setup that works as you describe without prodding and jabbing me in ways I’d rather not have to experience.

Hi all I have owned my NS Design CR-4 for about 5 years. I mostly play home alone. I have never played a true upright bass. I do not play arco. For most of the time I have owned this instrument, I have used the rigid stand. I have tried an upright position and have even set up the instrument...

I’m not dead yet…Monty python and the holy grail Billy crystal and Gregory Hines in running scared when driving a car on electric train tracks “Don’t touch the third rail…it’s got 12000 volts. It’s not the volts that kill you, it’s the amps. How many amps does it have?”...

Show me the money!

I like your creativity

I love it! Thank you for sharing. I’m going to need to change out a lot of strings to make something that cool.

I’m sure you’re chill….but “I have an industrial sculpture garden in my front yard.” TB rules…pics or it didn’t happen….🤔😜🤣

That’s cool…Thanks!!

Hey TB brethren: Does anyone know if there is an environmentally friendly way to dispose of used strings?

Peabody museum on the Harvard university campus in Cambridge MA. Go see the “Glass Flower” exhibit. Botanically correct flowers and plants entirely made from glass. Amazing

Very cool, Congrats on the find
