Sounds good to me! You wouldn't be able to hear it over the car, but it would still be fun.

I suspect that I may have a little trouble transporting the db in my 914...

I bought a 4/4, it's great! I just can't haul it in the 914.

The package says cello bridge. I'm not sure about having that high of action on the cello though, I'll use it on the bass. :)

Of course I had to get a cheap chinese bridge for the CCB!

A while back I cracked my bridge close to one of the wings, I glued it and all seems well. I have received a new bridge in the mail, I was planning on having a luthier fit it, but my recent unemployment has changed that. I'll be doing this myself, I'd appreciate some tips. When I fit violin...

Sorry if I got too trollish with it, it's good to keep things light spirited IMO. The OP obviously got perturbed by the responses, and some others with mine, it happens. :D Back to the discussion... I say get the CCB, if you buy a better one down the road you can either sell it or keep...

Hey, y'all asked for a post like that. :) One of the great values of this type of forum is the knowledge of the more experienced members. Don't think that newbies don't recognize that, that's why we ask the question here in the first place. I will poke fun, don't take it as...

To inform the rest of us, what are the differences between the pre and post 92 sets?

I would say to tighten the hair so that during normal playing it doesn't touch the stick then tighten from there if you want more tension, if it feels tight back it up a bit. Basically a preference issue based on how you're playing. For more definition during faster playing looser hair will...

My bass' mensure is 43"

I might just buy a replacement D for now and see what the luthier recommends.

I have :hiding: I did forget about the Arco string test, lol. But, with my bass being a 4/4 and the type it is I would like to solicit opinions from the crowd. I'm not a professional player, just around the house, but I do want some good strings on this thing. I know every bass is...

Alright, I've been a little hard on my new bass. A while back I cracked my bridge, now I broke my d string. I've ordered a new bridge and will be buying strings soon. I will have a luthier fit the bridge. With so many choices and the high prices of bass strings I'd like to make the right...
