I haven't been on this forum in a hot minute, as I've been without my upright for the past year or so due to college. I now live in an apartment where I have room for it. Anyway, I could use a nice new endpin, but I have a 1/4 size bass. I've checked Gollihur, FMI, Thomann, Lemur, Upton Bass...

That's true, I'd be a bit surprised if they had used steels.

Alright, thanks so much for all the help, I really appreciate it!

Sounds good, although, how's the tension for slapping with guts and how much of a good, sticky sounding pop do you get with guts?

Hey there, I've been looking at three different affordable gut/gut and steel string sets online, but I'm not sure which is best. Here are the three sets with prices and where to buy them: 1. Blast Cult Tone Mongers - $235 USD - Blast Cult website 2. Pyramid Double Bass Strings - $93 USD...

Yeah, the Krivo looks and sounds more natural than the Schaller, but it’s not really in my budget at the moment.

Howdy y’all, I’m looking to cut back string and body noise through my signal. I currently use a Vic’s Pickups single bridge wing pickup (Model C I think), and I put that through an HPF Pre then into a Donner Noise Killer which seems to help a little bit, but not a super noticeable amount. Any...

Thanks for the help, I'll definitely check out Golihur's website.

It's more so just a tone thing, but I don't really like to go past 80 Hz since that's where it starts to get a pretty mid-rangey sound, and with that comes more feedback.

I usually have it set between 35 and 80 Hz, but more so towards 35. The phase switch is switched to positive.

Howdy y'all, I use a Shadow SH-RB-Pro pickup on my bass, then into an HPF-Pre, and finally, my amp is an Ampeg BA115HP. I can't turn it up all the way without getting that horrendous low-end, rumbly feedback. The Shadow is equipped with settings that are "cheat codes" in a sense (as Colin from...

I mean with an upright bass, such a huge, hollow, and boomy instrument, I think you need all the help you can get when using a piezo pickup.

I get that, I think the majority of upright players want their tone to sound like THEIR BASS, really capture its sound, but you really need all the help you can get with a piezo pickup, especially on an upright bass.

I actually ordered an HPF-Pre low-cut/high-pass filter, and yeah, Robert Russell on YouTube actually has two separate chains for the bridge and fingerboard channels (K&K Bass Master RB) and a bit of reverb on the fingerboard channel.
