Hello guys, Can you tell me some pickups options for Double Bass? It's for Jazz, Bossa and i don't want to spend more than 100€... Thank you ;)

Do you use a compressor or sustainer or both in front to even the bass signal in order to get a better tracking if using a bass synth? Does it get a better tracking or not? I use a Markbass supersynth as the first pedal in my pedalboard (no compression/sustain yet) and i notest some tracking...

Thanx bfreelove! Unfortunately bad news because these PU's are great in series, but for slapping in a band they loose attack and presence. My guess is that if i wire in parallel with a coil tap and switch to singles, i would gain better attack and presence for slapping...

Thanx for the reply! I didn't get to that part yet, i was curious in knowing if can be done, otherwise i'll have to buy dual coils to wire in parallel and install a coil tap.. :(

Come on guys, 52 views and not a single answer?? I really need your help!

Hello my friends, i have a question... Is it possible to rewire a Yamaha TRB 6PII into parallel? I like the sound of the pickups but i want to have more tonal variety such as the bass working in singles (like a JazzBass) with a coil tap... Thanks!

Hello fellow bassists! Can you tell me which in-ears are better suitable for bass playing? I'm looking for best quality/price value and i only want to spend 70€... Thank you very much!

Yes, i know that, but as you say, i'd have to order which means more time an money spent. For that price i can have a mayones, which i think is a good price! Anscari, can i later put an active preamp on a passive Jabba? Does it have the compartiment for the batery already?

The thing is that, recently, sandberg basses have suffered a price rise in Europe, about 64€ higher than before, but the mayones are cheaper: Example: Sandberg California JJ 5 Matt finish: 1229€ at soundland musicstore Mayones Jabba 5: 1099€ at Thomann Both...

Thank you for all your opinions. I think both brands are underrated because they're at a similar price!

Does anyone have more opinions?...

My influences are jazz, latin, bossa nova, funk... but i'm currently playing in a disco funk band and i really need something with presence regarding bass and definition of mids...

Anscari, do you have any track recorded with your Jabba?...

I'm sorry, i forgot to specify the two models i'm interested: Mayones Jabba 5 and Sandberg California JJ 5.

I'm from Portugal. Yes, thomann and other stores can provide basses to my country, maybe i'll order one to try it...
