    Double Bass NBD - MK Studio EUB

    Dear fellow MK owners, I indeed own the studio (since 2016), and I have replaced the bridge and have had the fingerboard dressed in 2020, and now currently use spirocore solos. I play it through a acoustic image Claurus II series one, and I use the hpf and eq settings to dial in a great...

    Thanks agfrag. I own the same instrument and I share your sentiment. Currently using spirocore solo's and if you find my prior posts you will see I am getting a great sound with my old reliable ai clarus I series 2

    Double Bass Rosin, Spiros

    I am experiencing success using pops rosin and rejuvenating it, when it gets stale, by using the "letting it sit 10-12 hours in 50 pct. (or 25/75 pct.) isopropyl alcohol water mixture in a Tupperware plastic container." I must say though that the real difficulty with Spiros and Pops for me and...

    Double Bass Electric Double/Standup/Upright Bass Recommendation

    Correct DoubleMIDI, I meant 10 Megaohms, although I know some players and amp manufactures find success with less than 10 Megaohms. My current blender (EHB-02)pre-amp has an input impedance of 6.8 Megaohms and sounds fine. Thanks for clarifying.

    Double Bass Electric Double/Standup/Upright Bass Recommendation

    Ditto on Cartier76. I have the MK studio which I acquired in Dec 2016 for 1400 and I recently had the pear fingerboard dressed and put in a professional quality bridge (without adjusters!) and the the instrument has the most upright feel when compared to other stick basses and makes a great...

    Double Bass DPA 4099 with Headway EDB-1

    18v phantom worked when I used the DPA 4099 with my old EDB-1 just fine. Now if only the guitar player would play a little softer, and I didn't have to set up my amplifier right next to the PA monitor I might be able to avoid feedback!;)

    RIP Paul Jackson :(

    Total Badass and a major electric bass influence and innovator. The master had deeeeep pockets.

    How to make 60s AVRI sound less 60's'y

    Install a John East j-retro onboard preamp. Also consider a replacing the bridge. I personally used a model A Hipshot Aluminum bridge. The pickups are already excellent. I used this approach on my fender fretted jaco bass, ( essentially a 62 reissue j bass) and the bass sounds great and both...

    Double Bass Considering going from Zyex to Spirocore Weich's

    Any thoughts from all my appreciated fellow players who recently changed from Zyex Lights to Spiricore weich's? I have been playing the Zyex's for over two years on my 20 year old Carved German Franz Werner Virtuoso bass using a Finale carbon bow with pops rosin and getting what I consider good...
