    Double Bass Attach pre amp to bass?

    Anyone out there got good ideas on how to unobtrusively attach a small pre-amp with belt clip (K&K Pure) to a double bass so that it is reachable whilst playing and won't damage it? I previously attached my Fishman to a bow quiver which was OK. I just don't like having it on my belt much...

    Which mid freq to cut?

    At the risk of repeating a question that's been answered already... Anyone out there got suggestions of which med freqs to cut so that bass isn't muddied up by the drums, distorted guitar, keys etc. I've noticed that what sounds beautiful solo, sounds like crap when in a live band situation...

    No audience???

    Had a gig with an 'all star revue' backing five established artists. We were expecting good turn outs...but on the first night we almost outnumbered the crowd. It was so freaking weird, until we realised they had the wrong dates on the posters :rollno: Second night was great though :cool:

    JOYO JA-03

    Has anyone tried the Joyo JA-03, mini headphone amp? It is a clone of a Vox product. I'm thinking of getting one for my son who spends many, many hours travelling...so that he can practice instead of just vegetating ;)

    Double Bass Soft.

    I apologize if this has been covered a hundred times, but just wanted to ask what steel strings will be soft under my hands on my cheap 3/4 acoustic upright. Would Helicore Pizzicatos be good? I am more interested in comfort than tone at the moment. Cheers.

    FBPO featured my son as their SpotLight player of the week, Stoked!

    For Bass Players Only is a cool site, with lots of bass news and stuff, it doesn't compete with TalkBass, as it's not a forum site. Send them your videos and they may make you their SpotLight player of the week....you'd be in some fine company. I was honoured when my son was featured for his...

    Trying to get Double Bass tone out of Fodera Monarch.

    Wanted a double bass tone for this recording of the standard "Angel Eyes", done at ABC Capricornia radio, so he put old, flatwounds on his Fodera....coz he's too lazy to drag his double bass to the radio station I reckon. YouTube - ‪Angel Eyes‬‏

    Fodera Monarch serial number?

    Is it possible to find out the exact year of manufacture of a Fodera by using the serial number? I am pretty sure mine was made in the mid 90's, but would like to find out for sure. Cheers.

    Commercial desicant specifically for instruments?

    Anyone out there know of a desiccant product that is specifically designed for use with musical instruments? Or the best viable alternative? I live in an area that has recently the highest ever recorded humidity, heat and rainfall, and the humidity and heat are usually pretty bad. Thanks.

    Help!-Dealing with probable moisture problems in expensive bass.

    The Fodera that my son is using is sending out a distorted signal and has a very 'scratchy pot'. A previous owner of this bass that I consulted, suggested that the problem is most likely due to moisture as we have had unprecedented humidity, rain and flooding here in Queensland recently. The...

    Double Thumb-Simple, cheap solution if your strings are too far from bass top.

    My son found double thumping difficult on his Fodera Monarch, because there was too much distance between the string and the body (the top) of the bass. So I got a sheet of clear pick guard plastic (the stuff that is sticky on one side) and cut a shape to fit just around where the thumb...

    Old Pedulla batteries going flat real fast.

    My 20 year old Pedulla is running through 9V batteries like crazy (flat in a week!), I am using expensive alkalines. It has all original parts and soldering, maybe something is shorting out? Any ideas before I take it in to my expensive fixit man?
