I had normal Evah`s on my bass. I changed to weichs and I lost a lot of volume. I had to go back to normal tension.

Hi! Price?? Thanks!!

Hi Olivier! Sorry; Sold!!

HI!!! I am sellin my brand new H-Clamp i bought from Exploraudio in UK. I doesn´t fit my new 4/4 monster bass... (Spanish) Vendo soporte profesional para micrófono de contrabajo. Se trata de una H-Clamp original, de fabricación y venta exclusiva en el Reino Unido. Soporta cualquier tipo de...

You will get what you pay for (a stringed wardrobe). But consider that they do not set up the bass; in fact and due to packaging reasons, they will send you the bass without the bridge installed. So keep in mind you will have to visit a Luthier and spend Some more money in a basic setup.

HI all; I am planning to buy a new amp and I need your advise. I won’t play electric bass so I am focusing on a combo specially suited for upright. I am lately playing with a Dixie band in noisy indoor gigs for ca. 150-250 pax (yes, weddings for example). I have a Full Circle installed. I...

I really encourage you to call the guys from Seccion Contrabajo… they have plenty of basses in stock!! Keep on it!!!

Hi Mr. Bassman! Ramón Parramón i Castany (Barcelona, b. 1880-1956) is a very renowned luthier. I have never played one of the bases he did, but they are really appreciated (and out of your budget. I have never heard about one on sale for less than Eur.- 7.000.) His heirs continued with...

I suggest you to visit “Sección Contrabajo” in the outskirts of Madrid. It is a double bass shop which owns the biggest bass stock around here. The owner is a player and luthier himself, and a 100% trustable guy. Give him a call and take your car!!! You will have the chance to try a lot of...

Hi Mr BassmanPT, where are you writting from???

Anyway, the way you connect the B-Band makes me curious… Do you connect both wings elements just to the “E” wing??? And… How?? What do you feel it adds to your sound??? Thanks!

I have one of these (recently replaced by a Full Circle….) and i´ll tell you why they are not more popular… I agree the B-Band sounds ok (and much better than any others like The Realist or BP-100 which are widely popular) but IMHO it lacks of two things: - A poor construction. The...
