    Double Bass Fixed the ELF Combo Fan Noise!

    Don’t try this at home! I looked all over and couldn’t find answers so I went ahead and did it. Another learning experience. I own and like Trace Elliot ELF 1x10 cabs for my DBs, mostly the Yamaha SLB300, but I wanted a smaller scale for my living room/rehearsal space. I’ve ordered a custom 8”...

    Double Bass Yamaha SLB300 New model

    Yes, my SLB300 has a good board, too. It would be nice to A/B it with a Pro, but to me it feels about the same as the ebony board on my DB. IME ebony tends to damp vibration and rosewood enhances it. That may be a bonus here.

    Sorry--only the E string is too short! The others are fine.

    Double Bass Yamaha SLB300 New model

    I can confirm that the unwrapped portion of Zyex light 3/4 is too short for my SLB300. You need the 4/4 length. Lauren at D'Addario sent me the appropriate replacement. I like these strings after they settle in...about 10 hours' play.
