How do you set up the Headway in front of the Markbass combo? Do you have any recommendations? I've got the same markbass combo and borrowed recently a headway edb-1.

Hi everyone, How do you handle not great backline amps at venues? There are two different scenarios I’ve been experiencing lately: 1) The amp simply doesn’t sound great. It has a very nasal sound (like a Markbass combo), and no matter how I try to adjust the EQ, it’s just not nice. 2) Big...

Do you know the tension and diameters of the light set?

Hi everyone, I'm looking for an alternative to a Zyex light bass strings. I like their strong fundamental sound, punch, brightness (or sustain) but they feel a bit too stiff on my bass (especially the g string). I don't know what it is, spiro weich or evah medium feel lighter on my bass even...

Hi everyone, so many of you mentioned how similar is the heritage to the zyex light. Does the heritage have the same kind of strong fundamental and punch or it sounds a bit weaker (due to lighter tension and smaller diameter)? Thanks

Hi, Has any jazz (pizz) player tried these strings? How would you compare the tension and sound to spirocore weich/medium, zyex light, evah pirazzi, velvet, Labella Black Nylon, gut...? Thanks

@PBandJazzBass What was your impression of the Innovation UB? Has anyone ever tried the Galli Black Nylon strings? (RN100 or RN200) It supposed to be metal core like the Labellas.

Thanks guys but I'm looking for a nylon wrapped string. I have used zyex, evah pirazzi, spirocore and gut strings as well in the past. Some of them worked better than the other but I've never been really satisfied until I found the velvet strings. I love all of them (garbo, anima and blue) but...

Hi, I've tried recently the Labella 7710 black nylon and the Eurosonic/Presto Jazzicato Tungsten strings. It kind of felt that these strings are on the opposite sites of the spectrum. The Labella was quite stiff and a bit too metallic on the G string. The Presto is super soft almost too loose...

Hi, Is there anyone who has tried both of these strings? Presto (Eurosonic) Jazzicato Tungsten and the Innovation Rockabilly/Ultra Black What's the difference in the sound and tension? Which one is brighter and have more sustain? (I'm a jazz db player so I'm curios about their pizz sound...

And how about a TecAmp Puma 500 with the one10? I've found a nice deal for a used Tecamp..

Is there anyone who tried the BAM200 with the barefaced one10 cab? I'm looking for a small and super light rig for jazz.

I've found this interesting version of the Eich amps - "Special 5 Mega Ohm input version for double bass, acoustic bass and piezo loaded electric basses, as well as regular electric basses" Invalid Link Removed Do you have this one or the normal version with the 1 Mega Ohm input? I'm just...

Yes it is punchy. I have a Realist pickup

I've sent a mail to the Phil Jones Company and as them about the D-400 and BP-400 amp heads. I've got this answer: "The Difference between the BP400 and the D400 is the Preamp section . Bp has the same preamp as the Double Four and Session 77 combo. This is more of a Classic practical bass tone...
