    Official GR Bass Club

    I use a 110 and the minione 350w head, which I assume would be essentially the same thing. I like it with a pre, something with a hpf maybe -overall the GR gear is very transparent. Depending the gig though, I will add an extension 110 cab, especially if I'm not going through FOH - so maybe...

    NOBD: Mailloux Seafoam Jazz Bass #11

    Current owner here, unfortunately, the finish was stripped when I got it and I've had it repainted in a sparkly green. It still looks good, but I reckon Phil's original finish was just superb for this bass. It's a bloody ripper though, my second Mailoux (other is a 5). She's a keeper.

    Ah, hadn't thought of that! Great, thank you! (BTW, I'm originally an Adelaide boy!)

    Club Bergantino! Let's See Those Rigs!

    Hey guys, not sure if this is best place to post, please redirect me if not. I run the HP forte with the blue tooth foot switch (and a 1-3 berg cabs) - I've run into issues a few times where I've paired the foot switch during sound check, then by the time I go on stage the foot switch has...

    Opinions on the NEW Blue Label Sadowsky flats

    Well, after having these on gigging basses for a while, I've made the decision to go back to La Bella's (760FS), for my main gigging bass. To me the Sadowsky's do have more mid range clarity, and they are a more versatile. However, the La Bella's just sit so perfectly in a live band mix. The...

    Wireless tone suck! Help.

    Hope it's ok to revive this thread - I noticed a big difference wireless to cable on my active (Nordstrand fat stack 5s with 2 band Aguilar pre wired 18V) going through a Shure GLXD14. I am also using a Radial Twin City ABY after the wireless receiver to split signal to my amp and our IEM...

    Opinions on the NEW Blue Label Sadowsky flats

    That's interesting ljazz - I took an E off (minimal use Blue flats) to put a Hipshot D tuner on, put the E back on and it snapped as I was winding it on at the peg. Thought it was just me. Fortunately the dealer was kind enough to send me a new single as a replacement (free of charge) so I...

    SBL Accelerator Program - Worth It?

    Hope its ok to revitalize this thread. I'm doing the course now, 3rd week in. I've studied jazz, play upright and electric, numerous bands and styles so I'm not a beginner at all, but have been pretty lazy with technique and studying generally most of my playing life. Already focusing on my RH...

    Opinions on the NEW Blue Label Sadowsky flats

    I've been using what I assume are V2 or V3 blues, but based on ljazz maybe the latest. I normally use la bella for comparison. I don't get the A - no where nearly as tightly wrapped as E/D/G and much rougher. The whole set is rough compared to la bellas. This is my first set of Sadowsky flats so...

    Opinions on the NEW Blue Label Sadowsky flats

    The only way to resolve this is to introduce a new color for the next batch! :) Just ordered a set of "new" blue 45-105's. Black flats were available so I'm a bit confused about them not being available anymore (are these new blacks?), 5s only but same price as the 4s but I ended up going for...

    Double Bass External power supply for fdeck HPF pre?

    Hi all, hope it's ok to ask here, can I confirm the 9V switching on the Series 3 is through the Output jack? I.e., it is only if you leave a cable plugged into the output jack the battery will drain, but it's ok to leave one plugged into the input side? Asking because I have mine velcroed to my...
