    Double Bass Volume, Volume, Volume!

    Longer term project might be to work on how you play without an amp. Are you pulling a lot of sound out of your instrument, or do you have a really light touch and are relying on the amp for most of your sound? My guess is having a stronger acoustic resonance to work with from the instrument...

    Double Bass Anyone using (2) Realist Lifeline Pups?

    I pair a full circle with a fishman bp100. The idea of pairing the strengths of 2 pickups (and minimizing their weaknesses) has worked well for me. Good luck.

    Double Bass Walter Woods advice

    You say this is being repaired in Germany right now? Any idea where? I have an electroacoustic green light and loved it, but the power supply died and no one here in the US can/will repair it. Any possibility you could find out where this one is being worked on in Germany and let TalkBass know...

    Gibson Tobias Growler V (after a few months)

    Maybe this was suggested in the neck dive thread you started, but a solution that worked for me on a bass I had was to extend the strap nob on the top horn (I used a longer screw, and put about an inch of wooden dowel for a spacer between the body and the strap nob; the longer screw went through...

    Probably a dumb question on my amp inputs

    I use a 2 channel WW (and a 2 channel AI) for 2 pickups that I have on my upright - each channel with its own volume and eq - very useful. Maybe that was the purpose here (although I'm not familiar with the PJ stuff).

    Stage Presence is Everything

    You can say what you like about their moves, but you have to admit that is a really poopy song. Sorry, I didn't realize you can't write profanity on the site (I should have written poopy right off the bat!).

    Double Bass Speeding

    There is really not that much that can be done (as many here have already noted). When I run into this situation, I just thank my lucky stars that the drummer is rushing and not dragging. A drummer slowing down (which you also can do nothing to change) is the absolute worst thing you can encounter.

    What does your home practice setup look like?

    Is that a 2 Grey Hills? Nice rugs.

    thanks. just played one of these the other day - really liked it, but I think I need the 2 channel. GLWTS - that is a good price you're offering.
