    Double Bass EBS Stanley Clarke preamp - output issue

    Yes, I'm using the original power supply, but you were correct: The noise comes back if I wiggle the cable at the input. So, it's either the cable or the input contact. The technician is very competent, and we just unplugged it and put the same cable into the combo. It may have been a result of...

    Double Bass EBS Stanley Clarke preamp - output issue

    Did a DB gig friday and used my EBS Stanley Clarke preamp into a Genz-Benz combo. Tried to use the DI out from the preamp to the house, but the technician couldn't get any sound from it. Had to use the DI on the Genz-Benz. Tested the preamp at home now, with the DI out into a Genzler acoustic...

    Double Bass Bridge feet size question

    Sizes vary. Despiau is 40, Teller is 46. I don't think I've seen 49 before on a 3/4 bridge.

    What is going on with Phil Jones Bass ???

    This is not correct. He has built his own factory in China, and there were no plans to move the production. He did suggest moving the rest of the company from the US to the UK, due to current politics (tariffs etc.). Also: The posts from his FB are all legit. I have been FB friend with him for...

    Compared to the number of infected, yes. But there are so many infected, that the danger is still very high! And: the danger will of course be smaller if the infections are spread out over time, because of limitations in the health care.

    Confirmed infections are the key words here. There are many more infections that are not (and will never be) confirmed. The Norwegian health authorities have a scenario of 40-50%.

    What's the most difficult song you've ever had to play live?

    Not Yet - Michel Camilo, Anthony Jackson on bass (I even wrote the arrangement, and regretted it for weeks).

    Agreed. The problem is: we produce and export oil and fish, we produce most foods, but everything else is pretty much imported. We'll have to pay for it in foreign currencies anyways. (Good for the fish industry, though. If they can produce). But again, in general, we don't have much to complain...

    We Norwegians does not really have much to complain about economically. The currency situation is starting to hurt a bit, though. Our currency is very much connected to the oil price, and it has fallen considerably the last days and weeks. Two months ago we paid under 9 Norwegian kroner (NOK)...
