    Double Bass Full Circle -> tuner pedal -> headway EDB-1 signal chain

    Apparently the issue with piezo pick ups, and keeping a tuner pedal in the signal chain, is input impedance. Most tuners have a low input impedance which causes low end loss with piezos. I have an original TC polytune that I tried in the signal chain and I did notice a small amount of low end...

    Double Bass Full Circle -> tuner pedal -> headway EDB-1 signal chain

    My headway EDB-1 preamp has a mute switch, but no tuner output. The mute switch cuts both of the outputs on the unit. I have a musical theatre gig coming up, where I would love the flexibility to put a tuner pedal in between my bass (full circle) and the headway preamp for easy stomp mutung and...

    Double Bass Easy to install backup pickup?

    What do you all use as a backup pickup? I am looking for an easy to install pickup that I keep in my gig bag just in case, and does not sound like crap. Any suggestions? ... the best I can think of is the rev solo, however I am not sure how easy it would be to install. Thanks crew.

    Double Bass Small Cab suggestions?

    How would you do this? My MB150 has no speaker inputs... just outputs & a effects loop. I'm also going to try my preamp into the effects return to see if that is more reliable.

    Double Bass Small Cab suggestions?

    Whoa! that's a great idea. I will try that. It is the amp section that is broken. It got soaked with soapy water in a car wash! After repair, it now works but is unreliable... thanks for this golden suggestion!

    Double Bass Small Cab suggestions?

    I’ve been exploring Phil jones options and I think I would actually prefer to go with a 2x5 combo or the powered 2x5 cab that they make. Might also go with the c2 in the meantime if I can find a good price. I would also go for that traynor combo if I can find a used one in the USA!

    Double Bass Small Cab suggestions?

    would love to use my SL112 but it’s too big for what I’m looking to accommodate - particularly is very deep and takes up a lot of space on a cramped stage area with an upright bass there as well.

    Double Bass Small Cab suggestions?

    Does anyone know of a good sounding cab that does not take up much space (for gigs where stage space is tight) that I can use with my Aguilar TH350? Perhaps something with a small speaker like 8" for low volume gigs. I have an Aguilar SL112 but its too big for tight situations & my GK MB150 is...

    Is there Sure Beta 57 as good of a mic as some of the more expensive models mentioned here?
