    Nordstrand soapbar recommendations for fretless bass?

    I've got Nordys in two of my basses; one is a Stingray fretless with the MM 5.2, and the other is a dual soapbar Alien Audio 5-string with a Big Split in the neck, Dual Coil in the bridge. Although not a fretless, the 5'er sounds great with that configuration, and the Dual Coil bridge is...

    NBD - Fibenare Fretless 5

    Yeah, I'm probably gonna do that soon, or maybe some Pressurewounds. I've got rounds on my 4-string fretless Stingray and it sings. Thnx for weighing in!

    NBD - Fibenare Fretless 5

    So, I had been wanting a fretless 5 for basically decades. My wonderful GF told me to pick one as a late Christmas gift, and this is the beauty I chose. All I can say is that it greatly exceeds every expectation I had. These Fibenare instruments are NO JOKE! They apparently make everything...

    What a beauty! This looks like the one from eBay that I'd been eyeing from time to time. Very nice score... enjoy!

    NAD: GR Bass Carbon BF Cube-110

    Brilliant setup 👍 I pulled the trigger on the NF210 Combo 800 a few months ago, and it has become my "do it all" rig. I can't believe how much sound that a 24-lb amp can produce. Mind boggling.

    Unexpected rarity in your collection

    Not super rare, per se, but definitely long-discontinued and uniquely modded. Sounds and plays amazing. Squier VM P5, found back during COVID online at a small store in SC. Incredibly, it was being sold as a NOS item. Mods done by myself or my tech: - factory tort PG - addition of Fender...

    NAD - GR Bass content

    In case you're still interested, a short report on how this thing has done so far: I can't believe how loud it is and how good it sounds, especially for its weight. I've done about three gigs with it; the last one was outdoors under a tent, and I only had the master volume around 9:00. I almost...

    Double Bass Poll: Do you use a high-pass filter?

    This is great to know. I'm certainly not opposed to acquiring other gear that might be better suited to DB/EUB, but it sounds like I might be able to get away with the Stomp for a while if I had to. My first conquest would likely be EUB. The reason is kinda niche; I MIGHT have an opportunity in...

    Double Bass Poll: Do you use a high-pass filter?

    You make some very interesting and valid points. I don't know all that much about the intricacies of DB amplification, I just kinda stab in the dark at generalizations based on the Stomp's features. 😅

    Double Bass Poll: Do you use a high-pass filter?

    I haven't actually used it with upright, but I've heard from others that it works quite well. I do PLAN to acquire an upright (or an EUB) at some point in the future. I can see how the HPF settings, preamp/amp/cab sims, and the many tone-shaping effects blocks (including EQ) would be great...

    Double Bass Poll: Do you use a high-pass filter?

    I used to run a Broughton HPF/LPF pedal (great piece!), but then I sold off all my pedals and went with an HX Stomp. I now use the high pass/low pass controls in the Stomp's global settings to achieve a similar result, and it works great.

    I've been eyeing their gear for a long while now, but I finally pulled the trigger on my "do it all" amp. Behold, the NF 210V Combo 800. Not much to say except that I can't wait to carry it into its first gig with one finger. 😄
