That is a beautiful instrument! Wishing you many, many happy hours playing this wonderful double bass.

All my basses and amp's/cab's still have a faint smell of cigarette smoke after 30 years of gig's. And I clean them regular. I have trowed one case away, smelled worse than cat poo on a sunday morning in the hall. Fvckin hell. Clothing went straight in the washer and always a shower to keep the...

Beautyful bass. Enjoy!

Prices are insane for any bass guitars above the "player" quality, but take a look at non-beginner amp and speaker cab's, or pedals. High quality flatwounds for a 5 string bass I paid 110 euro last week, a year ago I paid 80 euro. I can afford it, no problem, but if think about, it is almost a...

Wow, great vibes!

My 4x10” cab’s , Trace Elliot, both have a tweeter. I like the sound and the dynamics. They are always on. Also on my Trace Elliot combo with 4x10”, the tweeter is always on. In all those years, I never had someone telling me to turn them off. During the late 80’s and early 90’s lots of brands...

Playing my Yamaha BB5000A hooked up to my Trace Elliot 4x10" combo, both +35 years old,looking at the beautiful people, dancing on the groove. Nothing comes close, making people feel happy!

Beautiful instrument!

I played gig’s for 30 years and always had a backup Fender P bass with me. Tuned to pitch on a stand behind me on stage. Still have that bass. Never had to use it, but it is good to be prepared.

What a beauty. You know you want it, just do it. Rock on and enjoy!

Very impressive! During the30 years playing gigs, roughly 1980-2010, I used a big old fuzz pedal, a volume pedal and later on a tuner pedal. A Fender P with Rotosound Swing Bass strings. That was all. Don’t get me wrong,I applaud all new technologies that are available for us bass players...

Your niece did well, I think she has a lot of potential. Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed it.
