Here are some pics I'll do sound file start of next week pick up on fingerboard so 2 outputs as said in previous posts. Put in mixer as 2 channels eq bass heavy for main bass pick up and remove low end for fingerboard pick up. Result = a nice clicky EUB!

Sure will. Just got a mini mixer ordered and I'll post up as soon as. Expecting our 2nd child anytime now so may be a week or two depending :)

Just a quick update. I bought a J Tone fingerboard pickup from eBay for about £18 and it works a treat. The clack really stands out. As I now have 2 outputs from the bass (one from the original bass pickup and one from the new fingerboard pickup) I'm going to get a cheap 2 channel mixer with EQ...

Thanks Double Midi again sorry for the delay. I'm a secondary school teacher and things are hectic at the moment to say the least. I think I'm going to go with the easy option and put a piezo pickup on the fingerboard and send that to a preamp and blender. That way seems easier plus I get the...

Thanks very much for the reply doublemidi. I like the idea of the piezo on the fingerboard. I guess the blender is a dual channel box and the buffer like a preamp?. Also where on the fingerboard would you glue this bad boy? I've never done this before but excited! :) Cheers in advance!

I bought myself a Stagg EUB to practice on in the evenings while the little ones sleep and find it so much easier to take around in the car than my acoustic DB. Ive started taking it around for little mini projects too. My question is "is there anywhere to get that click sound that you get from...

Ahh I think I get it now!! . Thank you so much that was indeed a damn good Sunday effort! haha

Thank you so much again for your reply downunderwonder I'm sat here scratching my head on how this works So the hose clamps go in the middle of the board and are tightened to hold the end pin. Then lean the way I want it to go and wood should bend? Or bend it before? Wouldn't the board just...

Thank you very much downunderwonder went all the way through the thread. I found examples using tripods etc but no clamp :( do they sell them or do they need to be made?

Hopefully someone can help me. I have a left acoustic and decided to get a cheap eub to practice in the evenings (Have a little boy so time is short) I bought a right handed and changing to left handed. The problem is the support is on the other side and when i play it the bass rotates on the...

I started playing the double bass last April and although I have not spent nearly as much time as I would have liked I have still come a long way from when I first started. Such a cool instrument to play. Thought this might be some motivation for new starters. Would love some feedback on this...

Forget that post its all sunk in! Had the most pain free practice. Ust relaxed and it all came together :)

Wonderful. Thanks guys for more smashing info! Right its practice practice practice. Ive starting getting to grips with it now. taken your advice and its really starting to come on. One final question If i may. Is it me or is the E string the hardest bugger to catch properly. I seem to be...

Honestly you guys are so much help. Never been on a forum which so much support so thank you very much. The chat up line made me laugh...at least offer me a drink! Lol. Yes I do work out (n9t as much as I have an 8 month old son) but id say im beefy so its not so much that. I think maybe give...

Memphis Evil is very good i am subscribed to him. I read about alot of people playing with their hands at an angle as opposed o perpendicular to the strings to save energy. This guy plays perpendicular and makes it look easy! Look over on my bass i have RS4000's on it and with my action set...
