    Speaker size v. Tone: I don't hear any correlation

    Hey everyone, thought I'd add my two cents about bass cabs. IME, the amps running the speakers/cabs, the room your in, or not in (outside?), the preamp, all these add to the sound. Or detract from it. I loved my old SVT w/810 cab. It sounded great, then add the drums, guitar, etc.., OH YEAH...

    Double Bass When to consider upright?

    Double Bass Looking for some knowledge.

    Hey folks, just signed up to talkbass today, and I'm looking for some help about a knilling bass I just purchased. It was sold to me as a knilling bucharest 3/4 bass. I got it real cheap so no matter what, I'm very happy with it. First the paper label inside says "knilling sergumo" I think. And...
