I've been using the Diamond for about 5 years now. As I've been experimenting with different signal chains between the pickup and the amp I've tried to get rid of it, since it's an 18v power and therefor limiting my pedal board mounting options, but … man, the sound is just a bit of magic...

Thanks for all the comments guys. Gives me hope and support. :) The strings are about a month old and have been getting a fair bit of use. Most strings would have chilled out by now. Funny you mention that about the ext E because Lemur said they didn't make one yet. Maybe a few snuck out before...

Hey all. I just put a set of Zyex on my 3/4 a few weeks ago. I switched from Obligatos. Since I play a mix of pizz and arco, mostly in a jazz setting, I've been working with getting used to the different feel and am just finding the A string to be damned difficult to get started cleanly, much...

Glad to hear the feedback on the TH500....confirming my suspicions. I tried it yesterday through 2 DB112 with the tweeters (nice to have the option even if I roll them off). LOVED the tone. Huge for EB and with just one cabinet pretty dang good for UB. ALSO I found a few places here in...

All great thoughts Rick. Thanks. I'm looking at the Phil Jones stuff now. Based on the fact that I also double quite a lot I'm thinking about getting the Aguilar Tone Hammer 500, The Headway EDB 2, and an Aquilar DB112....and perhaps a much smaller cabinet for cocktail gigs. Bring that new...

Hey All, With all the new digital amps, most with solid state pres, is anyone making a happenin' tube pedal or accessory to go on the front end??? Thanks for your help Daniel - Nashville, TN

Thanks Tyb...that gives me some good direction for sure. I'll dig a little deeper here as well. Take care

Hey guys, Just got off 6 years of touring with backline techs, in ears, and no need for amps. SO, my question is this. What are the best head/speaker and combo amps out there now for double bass? I usually use a pickup but sometimes blend a mic(in need of 9v phantom) also. Would be happy to...

It's also essentially the tuning that Edgar Meyer keeps his bass in since his E has the orchestral extended C but then everything else is in Solo Tuning usually. So...there are some examples in his recordings as to the capabilities of that tuning.

Thanks for the good points and questions raised so far. 1. David...I'm a french bow player 2. EkS...I'm usually less traditional in approach so the guys like Rabbath, Meyer, and Garcia-Fons tend to really inspire me....But I also have a traditional side which needs fostering and so that's the...

Hey everyone, I've been on a tour for the last several years with a Cirque du Soleil production. We are about to end as our show is about 21 years old and reached the end of it's life span. As I consider what to do with my life, new found freedom from debt, and solid bank account I'm giving...
