    Double Bass Small Combo, Volume & Punch

    I just found out that cadaudio is selling their db510 for only €810 + VAT now - in an upgraded version: http://www.cadaudio.dk/bassamps.htm

    Double Bass Small Combo, Volume & Punch

    Hi guys, I have just had made an upgrade on my db510 combo, so now it's more suited for the electric bass on the #2 input. My 5-string Sandberg with active picup was too powerful for the sensitive gain on the combo, but now it's perfect. And the low H-string on the Sandberg is roaring deep now...

    Double Bass Small light power amp? VESTAX????

    Yes, I can confirm what Karsten says. It's Cadaudio that's making the db510 amp, but Jesper Lundgaard owns the Arco name. Unfortunately they have split, so the db510 is not called Arco any more. But it's the same amp. My db510 is an early version, and it works very well with my Max Hoyer...

    Double Bass Small Combo, Volume & Punch

    Well, returning to the forum I saw your latest post. No, I haven't tried the bigger ones. But I've bought an extra cabinet for the DB510 (BC110-250) when I went from double bass to the bass guitar. The Arco is great for a double bass, but lack a little "punch" when you're playing the bass...

    Double Bass Small Combo, Volume & Punch

    The Eminence sure looks lean:) and has a great sound. I've just to some of the youtube stuff. Is it very easy to play? I myself has played double bass (the same Max Hoyer) for almost fourty years now. But unfortunately my left hand was injured half a year ago, so I haven't the strength in it...

    Double Bass Small Combo, Volume & Punch

    Hello Peter - yes, Helge is my first name:) The DB510 actually have two channels - one high gain for piezo (Input1) and one low gain input (input 2) - that should fit an electric bass. I don't have a bass microphone, only a piezo pickup (Underwood). But I have an ordinary dynamic microphone...

    Club Sandberg ?

    Thanks for your kind response, NR:) My own first choice was also an electric upright, namely the Yamaha SLB200 Silent Bass, (which I have yearned for for years, mainly because of the far more easy transportation). But when it came to reality, I discovered that with my poor hand, my own double...

    What was the best steal of a bass you ever got?

    A Fender P-bass fretless, 1976, for 750 dollars five years ago.

    Well, as as a new TB-member I have discovered the narrow boundaries for uploads directly to this site, and I fully understand and respect this. So I have deleted my former post with pictures of my new Sandberg Thinline and instead I have made a Google document with my pictures: [Invalid or...

    Well, here's a small soundclip of my new Sandberg Custom Thinline 5-string fretless. No place for more, I'm afraid:hmm: HelgeBas:bassist: Think my clip is here now...

    Double Bass Small light power amp? VESTAX????

    Well perhaps you're right, I'm a musician, not technician. I've just been told that ARCO DB510 is digital - and it works fine for me!. CAD Audio also calls it a digital amp, look here: http://www.cadaudio.dk/bassamps.htm For more about what's inside the CAD amps, someone perhaps find...

    Club Sandberg ?

    Hello NR! Yes, the Delano Pickup is very special, has almost a piezo sound to it. I actually bought it because I hav some trouble with my left hand, so I haven't been able to play my double bass properly for almost a year now:crying:. The Thinline fretless is very easy to play, and at the same...
