I use the strap that came with a Martin Backpacker guitar. A padded strap won't sit well at the end button. For the head end I use one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Martin-Guitar-Leather-Strap-Button/dp/B0002E37G8 Klaus

Dave, I tend to see a discrepancy between text and photos when it comes to number of frets. Klaus

This board has very efficient search facilities when adequate parameters are entered: [This invalid link has been removed]

I have written on how to use cable binders to stabilize knots. The binders even can help making strings stay in the tuner slots after they have been trimmed to short to stay in the slots on their own. Klaus

Welcome! What really gave me the low range push was adding a subwoofer reproducing the low frequencies for real, not just by means of difference notes. If you have one you may feed it from the line-out of your combo amp. Klaus

I, like you, learned extended fingerings for the bass. For me the benefit of the UBass is that it allows me using the extended fingeringsm which had become impossible on the upright. As I get it there is a school of fingerings where the ring finger is considered the supporter of the pinkie so...

Really sounds interesting. No price information available on the website, though. Thanks! Klaus

Yes, that red one looks great. I especially like the grain pattern coming strongly through the staining. Hard to tell at this angle, but it looks like the fretless version? Congratulations! Klaus

The f-deck high pass filter is mentioned again and again. Sadly it only is sold in the US. I recognize the hazards of international distribution for a 1-man company run on the side of a day job plus extensive musical activities. So my question is: What is the internationally marketed...

Could that be dying preamp battery? Klaus
