    Screw size for 1973 Precision bass thumb rest?

    Double Bass Amp for playing URB in a Big Band

    I searched around the forum to see if I could get an answer to this question but found nothing specifically geared to Big Bands and URB. I have some smaller amps that work great with smaller combos (a Polytone with a 15' speaker and an AI Contra). However, I need something with more...
