If you want to go with weedwackers or the gut sound but can't afford them, I'd go with Superior's. That's what I'm running now until I can justify guts. I have the K&K pickup set as well as Vic's pickups (from Koffin Kats). Vic's are a bit hotter and I actually keep the fingerboard pickup turned...

I'd have no problem ditching the Sansamp but is the Fdeck powerful enough to drive a power amp?

This was the plan. Both the Fdeck and EQ will be new to this rig this week and I have my first show with the upright with FOH support so I want to be all good to go. With the SansAmp RBI do people usually use the Unaffected or Affected DI output for FOH. The Unaffected output seems really low...

Sansamp RBI but I have the blend nearly all the way off so it's not really coloring too much.

My preamp is what I use to send the DI to FOH. Considering this where in the chain should my 31 band EQ and the Fdeck go? I'm thinking after the preamp since the primary reason for both is to handle feedback.

We are Psychobilly but I'm not one of those who thinks the bass is a percussion instrument. I have a K&K pickup set too. I'll have to try just the bridge element into the Sansamp for now.

That was my assumption while on stage but I checked when I got home and it's not the battery.

The best source is the Greenboy forums especially the other build threads. Definitely head over there.

After some technical difficulties last night it turns out that my K&K crapped out. Shortly after it started dying, the low end was farting during a song, my amp's breaker flipped. I have a Sansamp -> Peavey IPR setup. This was my first gig with the K&K although I've had it for a few years while...

I started with bumped Rotosounds but they were a little too floppy for my taste. I'm currently using Basswork's dirtyguts using strings 1, 3, 5, 6 with 1 being thickest (I think). They work great but I'd prefer more definition from the E. I'll have to give the Tricore a go but it's marked as...

Ordered. Thanks for the advice.

I have a question where the end of the tailpiece should wrap around the endpin on my 1965 Kay. As you can see from the pictures it just kind of wraps around the larger part instead of either of the grooves. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] It seems like...

Potential bass trigger alert... I decided to add a trap door on the C-bout. Even with the strings still on at full tension a gentle push got the bass bar half way towards the top and got the top moving back into shape. Removing the strings (obviously) with a little heat and moisture and I think...

I have a 65 Kay M-1 with a bass bar that's disconnected on the bottom and a top that's flattening out. I've read up on how to fix the problem and have confidence in my woodworking skills to pull it off. Plus, it's already been painted (not by me) so touching up any mishaps isn't really going to...

Yes. Although enforcement is another story. I filed contempt of court papers but they were ignored by the court. Any more legal action is not cost effective.
