    Double Bass Advice needed.

    Thanks for your responses and suggestions, the EBS DI Box I'm using has a 10M Ohm buffer so that shouldn't be an issue. Stacking the Piezos could be worth a try as will creating a slight bend. I've taken it to my friend who will advise me further. In the meantime I'll try to get some pic's...

    Double Bass Advice needed

    My first post here so please excuse my lack of knowledge of many things. For a while I have been lurking and have read with intent (sounds like a criminal charge). I am a Spoken Word artist who now wishes to use an EUB of my own making to produce various sounds (not necessarily music). I am...
