I looked around about this issue and only found a few threads discussing it, but not about my specific amp. I have a Minimark 802 I use it for small gigs. With COVID I didn't use it as much and it did sit unused for a while, at least 6 months. Well gigs came rolling in and the other day I turned...

Ive been looking into Gut strings and found those auctions by Ecoosa on ebay. I also found Invalid Link Removed Seller is also from India, same seller ya think?

hello all bass input - have a newer (2004) hand carved romanian bass. says 3/4 on the label but after the measurements its more of a 7/8. mainly play classical, arco, musicals and pizz when i must. ive had Pirastro permanents (G,D,A,E) on for a while and recently swapped out the A - Bel Canto...

Toyota Camry Wagon. Currently, Honda Passport Suv... I'll search around this thread, but you think an upright would fit in a Honda Fit?

hey guys. thanks for the great advice. right now they are sounding a bit better. TroyK i didnt even think about the E effecting the D and G. i just thought that since they are a solo set the low end will be compromised. i played a program with poulenc and haydn (both masses) last weekend and...

so i put them [solo flexocors] on and to be honest i was expecting a bit more. maybe its my bass, but the sound is really dark. the D and G sound dead. no sustain and hard to bow. also the D sounds metallic, but i think most of these are characteristics of new strings. i left my regular...

cool. thanks guys!

Hey fellow bassists. I have a Calin Wultur Romanian 3/4 double bass, which has long string length (109cm/43in) and since that always was a pet peeve of mine (even though I still LOVE my bass sound) I was interested to measure my bass fully. This is the data I recorded: Scroll to Bottom...

I have a BIG hand carved romanian 3/4. The string length is 43 inches (109cm) and currently I'm using Piastro Permanents on it (that are waaaay overdue). The tension is quite high. I do consider myself more of a classical player, but latley I've been playing more pizzicato in my band and jazz...

the damp-its are for dry weather conditions. high altitudes affect it too. the wood can always change depending on where you are. certain places on the bass can crack or warp, make it go out of tune etc... however, for what condition your bass is in right now i dont think you have to worry about...

thats a nice bass man. like everyone else id say postwar german. good luck with the choice yuh make...

I have the underwood mounted behind the tailpiece where you put your strings in. heres a pic i found online. its like this, but the output is facing the opposite direction and the actual unit is behind the tailpiece.

sorry if my description is bad, but thanks for baring with me. i play mostly classical so im just on the surface with bass gear, the wording and such...what info would you guys prefer so i can help you help me? i got alot of opinons and options here. i dont think its the pick up. underwoods...
