    Double Bass Nick Blacka - new-school wow

    AudioKinesis Cabs Part VI...

    I think you are on the right track here lo-freq. It's starting to sound alot like Duke's modular subs for home audio (the swarm? maybe?) Sounds interesting for BG, he might have experimented with it already? Im curious of his response.......to anything really. I just dig the way that dudes...

    The bass you'll always own.

    That sir, is the most beautiful bass I have ever seen. Looks like a Consat got naughty with a cello. If theyre still breeding can I get dibs?

    I made my own bridge side string dampener

    Starting Ariane Cap's course

    again, your doin it right man. I started playing in highschool 20 years ago without a teacher/direction and am now so saturated with bad habbits and technique that I am essentially right where you are in terms of "correct" experience. When I do take the plunge it will be extremely...
