    Double Bass Thomas Morgan Strings

    Whenever I have heard Thomas Morgan around new york (not too recently, but heard him a dozen or so times), he had gut for the D & G (and maybe more). This is a hometown gig, doesn't look like gut, but I can't really tell from the camera. What I can say about his sound is that he often favors a...

    Comment by 'MaxJohnson' on the classified ad 'Strings - (Lycon, Prestoflex) & Marvin Wire Tailpiece'

    Some people have thought of them as a modern version of the classic Lycon string. I think they're like Spirocore mittels, but a thinner string, more like a a weich or solo, but with that same brilliant loud forward thing. I just like a thicker string I guess.

    For Sale 1962 Morelli Upright (Final Price Drop!)

    Here's an incredible Morelli bass from 1962. Incredibly full sound but with a very clear fast front end to the note, was my main instrument and it's a hell of a bass. Big sound, easy to play, great pizz and under the bow, I just would rather someone play it more than I do at this point. Plays...

    Double Bass How do keep a regular practice with depression (for those concerned) ?

    Hi, I can certainly relate to this and think it's something we all should be talking about more anyway. Depression-wise, first and foremost, seeking help, and medication if necessary is an excellent thing to do. I'm also a Wellbutrin guy, so yay this is a Wellbutrin fueled thread. Secondly...

    Double Bass Synthetic Gut - Updated thread

    Spiro solos tuned down to concert pitch would be a middle ground btw Weichs and corellis. Easier to play than weichs but more sound and roundness than corellis.

    Double Bass Pickup that sounds like Full Circle without adjusters

    Anyone out there know the story behind Richard's bass with the lion's head.

Also, is there a thread...
