    Full Circle problem with open G bloom

    My amplified double bass has a problem when I play the open G string. The note blooms with an overtone and is louder than all other notes. Same thing at the G harmonic. It's not feedback, just an obnoxious ringing tone. I have a Full Circle pickup, and it creates this problem with different...

    Best amp for electric/upright doubling

    I've got a Walter Woods that Walter built for me back in '85. It's at the end of the road. If I can reach him I may see about getting it fixed, but it may just be time to move on. He's not taking any new orders. Absolutely wonderful amplifier and has served me well all these years.

    Yeah, I use a vintage P-bass, so it's passive.

    Best amp for electric/upright doubling

    I was looking at this one online. Only saw one input channel, but I didn't thoroughly check out all the stuff on the back. Overkill for a pit band gig, yeah maybe, but I'll be using it for super loud dance band gigs as well.

    Double Bass amp for doubling on acoustic/electric

    I play a lot of musical theater and need a two-channel head that is versatile for both electric and upright bass. Need plenty of power for the electric bass. Was looking on the Mesa Boogie site but don't see what I want with two channels.

    Fingers or plectrum?

    Over 50 years of bass playing, I've always used my index fingernail as a pick. Started doing that when I was 14, and it's sort of permanently toughened up. I also play finger style, having been an upright player as well for most of my life. You can get a great sound with your fingernail with...

    Fingers or plectrum?

    For 50 years of bass playing, I have used my index fingernail as a pick. I also play finger style (having also been an upright player most of my life). Started doing it when I was 14 years old, and of course there have been times when I snagged my fingernail and had to cut it too short to...
