TC Bam. Tiny, powerful, and cheap. What's not to like?! I love the sound of my bass guitars through it into my BB2 or Super Midget, or both. My upright bass not so much.

My experience has just been the opposite. When I get the correct stage volume with my upshot I have to be careful that is not too loud out in the room. That was my initial challenge with the speaker. Now that I have used it for awhile, I’ve learned to not turn it up too far. I know that sort of...

Thanks. I missed the model name the first time.

Eastpak makes many models. Which one do you have? Could you post a picture please. Lownote

Based on cultrvultr's research and recommendation I bought The 8 X 10 version of this bag and it is excellent. My Upshot and Clarus SL2 (in it's padded bag) fit in the main part of the drum bag. A small mic stand and the bent piece of metal to hold the amp fits in the pocket on top. It works...

I’ve used my Upshot a lot with one of the louder jazz drummers in Scotland—a fabulous player BTW. I put it on the floor between the two of us, and he loves the sound coming from it as well. The only real challenge I’ve found is getting the volume adjusted correctly so that it is not too loud...

Thanks. Now that you describe where you've placed the Ischell, I can see it clearly in the video. Missed it the first time. It does sound wonderful. I've only used the modified David Gage pickup that comes stock with it, and have found myself using the bass only when there was a reason why a...

Barefass, Thanks for posting the videos. I've owned an Eminence 4 RN model for about 20 years now and that is the best I've ever heard one sound. Question--I couldn't figure out where you actually had the Ischell mic placed in the video that sounds so full and rich. You point at the top...

Thanks for following up. I've gone ahead and ordered one from Sweetwater. In the meantime, I've been using a Deluxe cajon bag from Musicians Fiend. It is of course quite a bit larger, but on Saturday night I took it to a gig, and the extra size allowed me to fit the Upshot, a Clarus SL2 in...

Have you received this bag yet? How does it work for the Upshot and related gear? Is there enough room for the Upshot and one of the AI Clarus SL-2 amps? Inquiring minds would like to know. Erik

I own a Ten2Ex cabinet and understand what you mean about its sound. I would take a hard look/give a listen to the Barefaced Bass Super Midget. It has become my go-to cabinet for my upright bass gigs where I feel I may need some volume as it is very efficient and relatively uncoloured. It has...

We were roughly in 2 rows with me in the back row, far right, with the drummer to my left. I put the Upshot on the floor between the drummer and me. I wasn’t right up against the back wall because the leader has stage “furniture“ that consist of photographs of jazz musicians that pull up from...

Saturday night, for the first time, I finally got a chance to use my Upshot, driven by an older AI Clarus SL, in a band with a drummer. The Upshot has worked beautifully for all of the duo and trio gigs that I had used it on previously. Saturday's gig was in a church hall for a crowd of...

There are three feet on the bottom of the speaker which are about 21 cm apart, i.e., the feet are arranged in an equilateral triangle which is 21 cm on each side. Hope that helps. Erik Hansen aka Lownote Edinburgh, Scotland

Alain, Well, a couple of comments. It is early days and I've only had the chance to play one gig with the Upshot, and that was a quiet jazz trio of guitar and trumpet. I had the Upshot sitting on the floor at my feet, and the sound spread out through the entire room which was a medium-sized...
