Not in the end, bottom end was still absolutely plenty.

I've just done the mod this morning., just C8 swap is absolutely the best one. Used a mustard 0.001uf. Don't find any noticeable low end loss and still got room on the EQ dial for more bass so I'm happy with that. I think it's possibly added more gain to the distortion (seems almost nuclear at...

It is, but I'm also aware R31 is in a real naff place on the board to remove and swap unnecessarily (or possibly to the detriment of the sound and have to do again). I've heard what just C8 does already. And C10 and there's examples of it after C8, wasn't too unreasonable to ask if someone had...

Planning to mod when the capacitor arrives in post, but listening to examples it sounds like the C8 cuts some low end as well as that nasty fizz. I haven't heard examples of just the R31 to hear it's own effect (just with the C10 mod too which I totally hate).

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but anyone tried just a C8 and R31? Planning to mod the C8 but my worry is it sounds like it's took too much bottom end out. Don't like the C10 sound at all.

Usually, thats just standard with any double bass because the lower E and A have a lower tension and resonate better than the top D and G. I'd suggest through the pickup what/how much compression are you using? that would balance the dynamics a little but it's mostly how you are bowing it, its...

Invalid Link Removed I saw this today, I'm curious... has anybody seen/used one of these? If I removed the clamp that would cover the fretboard at the top could I use this to hold my EDB securely and also play from it?

I played one today when EUB shopping, I didn't like it I'm afriad (I bought a Stagg EDB in the end, out of the two it sounded the better!). It feels too much like a fretless bass held upright, the fretboard is standard bass guitar size and if I'm not mistaken actually uses bass guitar strings...

Hi, The stagg basses are £350 new here with a 2 year warranty. Are they worth buying? I already own a 3/4 double bass and my main bass guitar is a Spector NS5 so I want something that's gonna sound good still in comparison. Been doing a load of reading up on these (and listening to um on...
