Thank you for your response ! I imagine it might be complicated to arrange for such an edition to come to life. However, in French, in the field of jazz, whether for electric bass or double bass, I don’t believe we have such a resource available for study. The strength of your book lies in the...

I think this book is great. Would a French translation and edition be considered ?

Absolutely not !! It's just a question of sound, beyond aesthetics. On the other hand, I must admit that the double bass I chose had a sound color similar to the same double bass I had tried (same finish, same touch). The "new" one, with the new varnish, had a really different sound but also a...

Thank you for the answer. I had considered YAMAHIKO, but it's still a big budget with import costs and my luthier finds the screws too large compared to my bridge. He really recommends the Full Circle, especially since the after-sales service is more accessible. For my part, I ordered the...

Thanks for the response, but I'm really going to need to amplify it. I will use it under the following conditions : - Jazz orchestra with around 20 musicians (including two already amplified violins and a drummer). - Swing orchestra with drummer, brass section and singer. - Quartet of...

Hello, I'm here to give you some news ! After trying the bass with the new varnish and the bass with the old nitrocellulose varnish, I bought the one with the nitrocellulose varnish. The choice was difficult, but after spending two hours with the luthier comparing the instruments, I ultimately...

My luthier just called me. He finally chose two double basses, one with alcohol varnishes and one with nitro. He explained to me that the one with alcohol varnish does indeed have some brush marks, but that it is light and that these are marks that are sometimes also found on old instruments. I...

Hello, I asked the question regarding delivery times. They didn't respond to me about this. I hope you receive it quickly and can share your opinion !

THANKS ! Ultimately I won't really have the choice between alcohol varnish and nitro varnish. But it is certain that it will not be a polyurethane varnish. I will keep you informed of what my luthier has chosen. He received the instruments on my 30th birthday! Next week !

Hi, Thank you for your very interesting answers, which I studied well despite my bad English ! But it's difficult to know which is "better" between nitro varnish and poly varnish. It seems to depend on individual tastes and the quality of the varnish. However, I just spoke with my luthier on...

Thank you for your answers ! I understand that nitrocellulose is not "durable", however, if it can patina and possibly refinish, it may be a better option than polyurethane varnish. I don't know if in my case the alternative to nitrocellulose is a polyurethane varnish, but given the budget and...

Hi, What do you think of nitrocellulose varnish on a massive Chinese study double bass ? The model that I want to buy from my luthier was usually varnished with a nitrocellulose varnish. However, he tells me that the supplier has changed the varnish on recent models. It's no longer...

You make me hesitate with the two-sensor version, if the rendering is more natural and plug and play ! But if there is a lot of bass, it can still be equalized on the amp, as long as all the frequencies from bass to treble are reproduced by the sensor. The ideal would be for me to take the...

Thanks again for all your advice ! I wondered about the dual sensor, but it's also much more expensive. The advantage is that it can be installed later if I ever lack clarity with the single sensor. The ideal would be to be able to hear the comparison of the two. Do you have a comparative...

Thank you for your answers ! In any case, there will be no bad choice !
