Hey Ryan, Thanks for the response. I use a couple of different pups on my upright. A transducer bridge pup, which I typically run through an LR Baggs preamp when using my Polytone and a Pierre Joseph String Charger which is nice when I need a lot of volume and no feedback. I think I may...

Hey Guys, I have searched the thread and don't find anything on how the BG250 sounds with doublebass. (The only reference was an EUB, which not what I play.) I guess I'll ask again... Anyone with any experience using an (acoustic) upright bass with this nice looking little amp? I just got...

Good idea. I'll do that. Thanks, Doc

Just curious... Has anyone used one of these for upright bass? Wonder if anyone has posted any audio files of DB played thru a BG250? Thanks! Jim

Has anyone tried the TCE with UB?

Right now all I have is an American Standard Jazz, an old 70's P (both 4-string fretted) and my upright. If I am doing a "standards" gig I play upright. If the gig is more swing and dance/funky stuff I use my Jazz. I am toying with the idea of "de-fretting" an SX PJ that I bought to rent to...

Hey Guys, Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. Jim

Thought I'd try one more time. I'm trying to make some intelligent decisions and could really use the help. Thanks, Jim

Old guy here with a question. I have been playing bass for a long time. Country, jazz, blues, swing... You name it. My two main basses are a '74 P and a newer MIA Jazz Standard. I love both these basses, but am starting to play more funk and latin these days and am wanting a bit more modern...

I wonder if anyone could compare and contrast the SB5000 with a Lakand 55-01. I know they don't have the same pu configuration. Just wonder how their playing compares. Thanks, Jim

BOH, thanks for the info. I will resolve the issue you mentioned ASAP!

Hey Guys, I have a chance to purchase an 1997-1998American Jazz for $600. It looks new with all the case candy, etc. Is this a good deal? Any issues with this year that you know of? Thanks!

Guys, I really appreciate your taking time to give me your valuable advice on this. Shoot-r's suggestion seems to make really good sense to me. "order a 8 ohm 12" Neo speaker from Dave of Avatar, put it in your old cab and order one brand new 8 ohm Neo 112 cabinet." I do like my SB-112 a lot...

Hey all... After playing primarily jazz for the past 40 years I have been asked to join a jump blues/R&B/funk band and I need to upgrade my cabinet to add volume. I currently play thru a GK 400RB-IV into an Avatar 1x12/4ohm cabinet. Now I know I cannot add another 4ohm cabinet due to...

Do you still have this bag? Thanks! Jim
