Yes there certainly is, but it seems like people dosen’t like it very much. The two sounds are not better or worse than each other, they’re just appropriate for different styles. I also love the boomy gut sound just in another context.

Oh okay, thanks a lot!

Yes, the pickup options must have been limited even in 86. Yeah the preamp is a factor aswell. I need to get hold of one, but there are a lot of options. Would a fishman or headway be enough?

Hello everyone. I was checking out great trumpeter Woody Shaw, and heard his classic album “Solid”. Neil Swanson who plays on it has that vintage 70’s kinda Electrified tone. Some people hate that kind of tone, but i quite like it. How does one get a tone like that? I don’t think Neil was...

Hi, i got in Contact with Bob and now have the paper. Thanks for helping, Malthe

Yes, it was through Chuck Treager’s book i discovered it, but him and Bob seems have slightly different ways of defining a mode matching, with Bob being much more specific. I will try to contact him through Maestronet. Thank you for both recommendations.

Thank you, there is a lot of good information there, but i was already aware of that thread. Still, Thanks a lot!

Greetings, I am researching about double bass tone and sound production. I read about A0-B0 mode matching, and i read some threads where Bob Branstetter explained it, but always refering to a paper he wrote. I have tried to find this paper online, but without succes. I did contact Bob here...

Oh okay, dang! Thank you for the opportunity to try it out, but i will just order the 4/4 Mittel high C then.

Oh, i didn’t know about those. Thanks!

Hello all. I have been interested in buying a special order high c Spirocore from Thomastik, but they aren’t responding to any of my attemps of contacting them. What is your experience with Thomastik customer service? Thanks a lot, Malthe

Oh, that Okay, that makes sense. I'll probably buy both to see what is best, also because contacting him obviously isn't an option:blackeye:. Thanks!

Why is the Spiro Weich high C from Pirastro? How would one get hold of one? Should i just contact Pirastro by mail? From the calculations you made it dosen’t look like there is very much tension difference between the weich and mittel c string at the same scale. Is the weich really any...

Yeah that is my worry. luckily spirocore makes regular tuning strings for short string lengths, but that dosen't help the fifths tuning folk. Thanks a lot!

Aaah of course! Also, im considering getting the string lenght of my new bass made to 94 cm or smaller. Any negative experiences with that, or anything to look out for? Thank you.
