    Double Bass "Cutting through"

    Hi all, I've done quite a bit of work recently recording my bass into protools and then analyzing the sound, mainly with the hopes of optimizing a DI feed to FOH engineers. What I've found is that, through various pickups and mics, the range frequencies around 1K-2k is pretty nasty- but very...

    SOLD EA Wizzy 10

    The famous Euphonic Audio Wizzy 10. I'm the only owner- got it new in 2008 and it has been a reliable and steady workhorse ever since. There is some mild cosmetic wear, especially to the grille, but sonically it is in perfect shape! Sad to see it go, but I need to make way for more gear...

    SOLD Grace Design ALiX (black)

    Up for sale is the Grace Design ALiX. This is a beautiful piece of gear. Same EQ section as the popular FELiX, very neutral sounding pre amp. Great for someone who only needs one channel, or someone who would like a back up to their FELiX. Works wonderfully with my Ehrlund and MAS cab...

    Double Bass My Bow and I LOVE Evah Weichs

    How long do you get out of your Evahs? I get about 12-14 months out of them before I start wishing I had new strings. I agree there is some magic to having a completely matched set. The Oliv/EP Weich combo is fairly seamless, but it is still something to consider when bowing. I find, on my...

    Double Bass My Bow and I LOVE Evah Weichs

    Hey Rick- Don't mean to send you back on the "string merry go round!" I do think the Oliv G is a must try for an EP lover who plays arco. Remarkably smooth under the bow- I'm addicted. So much life and nuance with the gut core, and the metal wrap gives it something- versatility?- that is...

    Double Bass My Bow and I LOVE Evah Weichs

    Hey Rick- Have you tried the Oliv G? I am a Evah Weich lover for the same reasons you mentioned. Tried the Oliv G and was blown away. Matched nicely to the rest of the Evah's, but in my opinion has a whole other level depth of sound. Profound. Amazing under the bow, and with pizz you lose...

    Double Bass An Ehrlund blog, sort of

    Wow, I am loving this thing. Thank you to all for your input on this thread that led me to try the EAP. Here's more of my take on it... On my louder gig tonight I wanted to simplify and I tried out just the EAP/pre with no pickup support. Wow. Such bounce to every note. Kind of gives me the...

    Double Bass An Ehrlund blog, sort of

    Hi all, I wanted to jump in here and share my first experiences with the EAP and preamp. After reading (most of) this thread I made the plunge and ordered an Ehrlund from Gollihur, knowing they have a 7 day trial period. Well, the first few days trying it out, I was especting to return it...
