    Double Bass Jake erwin fans.....

    Hey y’all. It looks like Jake Erwin is no longer with hot club? According to the website a new bassist named Zack Sapanour took over bass with the band last summer. I haven’t had any luck in trying to locate Jake on social media. Can anyone post a link to his Twitter, Facebook or Instagram...

    Double Bass Markbass CMD121P with Genz Benz LW 115B Extension?

    Where can I buy the parts I will need for this project? I guess I'm finally going to need to learn how to solder.

    Double Bass putting foam in f-holes to reduce feedback

    Second the black cotton dress socks. I also have one rolled under the tail piece. I used to have one weaved between the strings right under the bridge. I play in a loud bluegrass band as well. Low-end feedback forever gone!

    Double Bass Markbass CMD121P with Genz Benz LW 115B Extension?

    Wow. THANKS for you help! However, this was a much more complicated answer than I expected and difficult for my non-electronics brain to wrap a hold of. In Layman's terms, are you saying I can plug a capacitor between my 12 and the speaker cable running from my amp to the 12? Both are 8 ohm...

    Double Bass Markbass CMD121P with Genz Benz LW 115B Extension?

    This is a great idea! Yes, you can easily pull out the plug from the amp to the 12'. I sent a PM to Drurb. Thanks for the idea!

    Double Bass Markbass CMD121P with Genz Benz LW 115B Extension?

    I'm calling volume, but what I'm after more so than volume,l is trying to turn up the bass EQ to push the 15's lower tones. I wish there were a way to separately EQ the two speakers, or fade between them, but I don't seem how that would be possible.

    Double Bass Markbass CMD121P with Genz Benz LW 115B Extension?

    I have recently purchased the Markbass CMD121P and love the little sucker for the portability and volume it can deliver, especially in smaller rooms. However, I sometimes miss the low end, deep tones that my previous Genz Benz rig with the Invalid Link Removed cab threw off. I was hoping that...

    Double Bass Input impedance, pre-amps and adjustable bridges

    Hello all. Thanks for all the great advice on this forum. I currently have a Realist pickup on my carved upright plugged directly in to a Genz Benz GBE600. I have found that the passive input impedance on the GBE600 is 500k ohms. I'm experiencing quite a bit of feedback, especially around...

    Uttermike -- I'd really like to try to make one of your designs. Can you elaborate a little more on the construction or post some more pics? Nicely done!
