    Double Bass Sonores Gut Strings by Gerold Genssler

    I have the Helix on my since since more than 6 months, and the winding feel really much more smooth by now ! Lot of buzzes that I had are also gone now. It took them a good 3 months to sound good for my taste, they are also less and less stiff, and I feel that they keep sounding better the more...

    How much scoop did you got ? In my HELIX adventures, i got my fingerboard scooped by one luthier, then it got way too hard to play and I still had some issues with somes buzzes. If I pressed the string right after the nut and at the end of the fingerboard, I had a 3-4mm gap at the 7th...

    Update : I got my fingerboard planned with more camber, ( My luthier managed to do it ! ) a new camber of about 3mm around the E on the A string. I but the Helix back on 3-4 days ago. The buzzes on the E string disappeared, the C on the G strin can still buzz if I play really hard, but I don't...

    Double Bass Sonores Gut Strings by Gerold Genssler

    @elmer I think it's supposed to feel more flexible, that why it is surprising that my bass kind of reacted to other way. I would have setup the soundpost differently to obtain more flexibility but my luthier expected that I would bring to buzz even louder. Interesting thing that I forgot to...

    Interesting. It would be really a bummer to have ''an uneven thickness of the string''. Is it something common with those ? In few weeks, I will put the HELIX back on and try to have my nut shimmed a little bit !

    I had a big one on the C on the G string, Open A buzzing, first Bb too, and the first 4-5 notes on the E string too had a kind of zing but different buzz than on the C. I had that metal dust thing on the first day or so, but not after.

    Before removing them ( I'm going in studio soon so I needed to fix the buzzes issues. I will go back on them after ) I was at 7.5mm on G string at the end of the fingerboard !!

    Double Bass Sonores Gut Strings by Gerold Genssler

    Hi everyone ! I read most of the comments here and I ordered the HELIX back in december, after receiving them, I went to my luthier to adjust the nut ( I was on Evah Weich before ) the first few days it was fantastic. Great sound and great feel, but then I began to experiment some buzz at...

    In ear setup for a gig ?

    Hi everybody, This summer I got a gig in a restaurant, piano and upright bass duo. We had a lot of fun but sometimes people were talking so loud it was hard to hear ourselves. I think to come next year but I would like to ear myself and the piano better, while cutting the others sounds. I was...

    Double Bass Larry Grenadier "Solar"

    Hi Robert, is there a way you can re-upload your transcription ? I began transcribing it myself and I don't know have trouble hearing the notes but I can't understand on what polyrythm feel he's on

    MXR bass chorus problem

    My sound was clean but he wasnt affected by the chorus! I openened it all and I rinsed with an alcool pad and it seems to work now. Thanks you. But meanwhile my reverb seems to clip and I press the switch? Should I clean the inside too ?
