Hey bud! I run the FDeck after a Redeye twin. Mostly because it allows me to adjust phase and solve any ‘boominess’ associated with weird rooms just as you’re describing

I’ve used the KZ ZAX metal ones with the foam tips for a while now. They’re great and affordable enough that I won’t cry when I eventually leave them at a gig. They’re great foam tips are absolutely crucial though - make sure you pick up a set :)

I’m a big fan of the Krivo - I use it in tandem with a Gage Lifeline and blend the two with a Redeye preamp. WRT mounting, I resorted to using 3M automotive adhesive tape in conjunction with the stock bracket to stick the pickup to the end of the fingerboard. As others have observed, the...

I pair a Lifeline with a Krivo using a Redeye preamp. I’ve been extremely happy with it

Copious volume lol On an actual constructive note, I favor Krivo magnetic pickup for the loud gigs. I mix in some of the Lifeline with a Redeye preamp, but only enough to add some body noise and round out the magnetic pickup. WRT EQ, I find myself leaning on high mids instead of highs. I get...

Regarding pure loudness - I can go toe to toe with just about anyone with the Krivo / Lifeline combo. I’ve played club gigs with the rig in the photo (sometimes with additional cabinets) and have not had any feedback I couldn’t reign in within a few seconds.

Good eye - I prefer it over there as (to me) it sounds a bit less muddy when paired with the Krivo

You can see both if ya zoom in a bit on this pic

I use both and blend them together with a Redeye preamp. It only takes a touch of the Lifeline to balance things out; the Krivo does all the heavy lifting

I’d be in all day for $600! I paid $500 for a ‘54 with a broken heel and it served as a solid gateway into fixing up basses.

Band leader: How loud can you be this morning? Me: standby….. Played a tailgate gig for a local charity Sunday morning - grinned ear to ear the entire time

I use a makeshift solution based on a couple 2x10s I had at the house

Pretty much non existent. I should clarify though that I bought the $90 ‘lightweight double bass cover/bag’ and it appears to no longer be sold by gollihur. Apologies if I’ve caused any confusion - I didn’t realize it was not readily available

I have a 3/4 house brand bag from gollihur on my ‘39 Standard. I bought the 4/4 initially and it was way too big.

They’re great. I had two of them in the house for many years, but added a third bass and had to come up with a different storage solution. If you were anywhere near Charlotte North Carolina I would happily hand one over 🤙🤙
