    IEM suggestions under $100 - SE215's and KZ

    A little late to the party, and with no experience with SE215's...but some experience with Chi-Fi IEMs. My first pair were KZ AS10's, which I still use almost weekly to this day, several years down the track. My second pair, which I bought more for use at my computer for watching online...

    Double Bass Double Bass amp setup, advice/thoughts needed

    This is gold. SO much good advice in there. Thank you so much. I was aware of getting the amp/cab off the ground, so always make a habit of that when playing DB. And yes, rolling the bass down, and even some of the Low Mid has helped a lot. It seems the combination of bass/PU/amp/cab does just...

    Double Bass Double Bass amp setup, advice/thoughts needed

    Okay, let's take this back to basics... Here is a quick and dirty recording of the bass in a small (relatively dead) room, done with an iPhone and a Rode VideoMic Pro...please don't judge the playing, it's just for an audio sample. The mic was about 1m from, and facing towards the bridge/F hole...

    Double Bass Double Bass amp setup, advice/thoughts needed

    Loads of sage advice here. I did see someone else on another thread who discussed running the signal from the RMI into the effects return on the head...I'll try that for sure. Point of clarification, the LMIII head does not have parametic mids. But you're still right that the LMIII will...

    Double Bass Double Bass amp setup, advice/thoughts needed

    I'm sure this has been answered a bunch of times, but what's the go with changing back to broken in strings? Coming from an EB background, this just isn't done. Once they are off, you just don't put them back on. I'm thinking of trying some Spirocores sooner rather than later, but wonder about...

    Double Bass Double Bass amp setup, advice/thoughts needed

    Just found this on the Gollihur site, speaking about Spirocores (not specifically about the Weich gauge...which it does say are more flexible...which one would think are then easier to bow): "While they are certainly used by many fine arco players, they have a reputation for a scratchy sort of...

    Double Bass Double Bass amp setup, advice/thoughts needed

    Wow, loads of advice there. Thank you. I think the issue may be there unamplified, and is just being made worse through the amp. I feel like the bass is already quite dark in tone to start with. So perhaps a brighter set of strings may help to offset some of the bottom end being created by the...

    You're 100% on the money mate. That's exactly how it "should" work...except I'm not hearing much/any change when sweeping the two mid knobs around. I've just contact Jacques Rupert about this.

    I had Bel Canto's originally, and felt like I had the same tone issues as I currently have with the Evah's. I get the feeling I'm chasing a rainbow.

    Double Bass Double Bass amp setup, advice/thoughts needed

    Alright guys, I'm reviving my thread from earlier in the year. I'm playing a new musical and my sound is driving me nuts. I'm playing backstage with a fairly quiet drummer and a keyboard/digital-piano. So this time I can hear myself fine (and am not just trying to be heard in a 16-piece theatre...

    Double Bass Amp for doubling?

    I am not exactly a "cork sniffer" (certainly not literally, but metaphorically, maybe a bit)... But I double on musical theatre gigs, where band space is often at a premium and front of house support can be sketchy. My point, before I hijack the thread, is that there are so many variables (as...

    Not really that keen on mixing sets at this stage. But it might come to that. Thank you for the suggestions.

    Double Bass String Advice Needed

    I started my DB playing some years ago with Belcanto strings on my Jay Haide bass. I play a mix of pizz and arco, for musical theatre shows. So I need the pizz to push through a band (always playing amplified with a Lifeline and RMI Basswitch into a LMIII head with Bergantino 112 cab). But when...
