Of course I forgot to mention the foot pedal page turner :thumbsup: I’m not using that every time, as most of my gigs only require single page sheets with chord charts and the occasional obbligato, but when things get more complicated the pedal is super useful. I own a cheapish Donner pedal I...

iPad + ForScore app + Apple Pencil (or similar). That’s my setup, works great. I own a 10.5 inches iPad Air - I think any iPad will do, maybe except for the Mini. u.

Thanks a lot for helping! I appreciated each reply. In the end I think I’ll give those Galli flatwounds a try! Pricey but promising. Thanks again! u.

Hello, I’m a UBass early adopter from Italy. Got my spruce top UBass back in 2011, iirc. I played that bass quite often back then, but it has been sitting in the case for the last (not so few) years. I feel like I could go back to it in the next weeks or months, for rehearsals mostly, maybe as...

Hello, I'm wondering - how did it go with your new rig on your full band gig? Thank you! :) u.

Hi Erik, How did you get to order one of those? Did you speak with an EU dealer or straight to Acoustic Image in the USA? I live in Italy, I’d like to try the Upshot but I thought that, since living on the other side of the pond, I’d have to wait for Thomann to show them up. Thanks for your...

Sorry crguti, my fault, actually I wasn't clear - I've read the manual, I know the amperage value I've got to look for, what I'm not sure about is the lenght, 20mm. Is that a standard or are there different fuse sizes? I know I could just open the cord receptacle and use a ruler, I just hoped...

Hello everybody! Super happy with my VT Bass 500 so far! I'd like to buy some spare fuses to bring to my gigs; I've found these, Invalid Link Removed, but I'm not sure they're going to work. I'm from Italy, so I'm running my head switched on 220V - 240V. Anyone knows for sure if those fuses are...

Hello, Anybody here knows anything about this Prestoflex string set? It's a new product, I think, and the strings are available for sale from a European dealer; price sounds good (~110€ vs. the regular 145€) but I cannot find anything about the strings. Would like to hear some opinion before...

Thanks everybody, I've seen the replacements on your store but I hope I'll be able to make it without having to pay for the whole set, as it's just one of the four heads I'm missing, not even the whole tuning gears, so I think I'll try getting in touch with the builder and the european dealer...

Hello, I've lost the tuning machine head for the E string of my Eminence bass. What kind of replacement should I look for? Do I have to look for double bass machine heads, or are electric bass machine heads ok? Or maybe there are specific replacements, custom made for this bass? Hope somebody...

Thanks, I've already tried, of course I did find something useful (not that much actually) - but I was looking for a more trustworthy source, like a printed book or such. u.

Hello everybody, hope this is the right section to ask for this kind of help: I'm looking for the scores (chords and melodies) of Charlie Haden's compositions - tunes like First song, Waltz for Ruth, Silence, Nightfall, Our spanish love song, Spiritual... Anybody knows a source where I can find...

Hi, anyone else having issues with a noisy waist extension? When I study on my unplugged Eminence, there is a relatively loud noise coming from the place where the waist extension joins the body of the instrument. Anyone got some tip about dealing with that? Thanks! u.

Thanks PaulieBe, I'm checking AnyTune, they give a 30 day trial - looks like it's good, even though its interface is less clean then Capo's. But it gets the job done! lyla1953, I used to be a Transcribe user, but the interface is quite out of date, and it's a bit too much on the expensive side...
