    Double Bass Full Circle -> tuner pedal -> headway EDB-1 signal chain

    Apparently the issue with piezo pick ups, and keeping a tuner pedal in the signal chain, is input impedance. Most tuners have a low input impedance which causes low end loss with piezos. I have an original TC polytune that I tried in the signal chain and I did notice a small amount of low end...

    Double Bass Full Circle -> tuner pedal -> headway EDB-1 signal chain

    My headway EDB-1 preamp has a mute switch, but no tuner output. The mute switch cuts both of the outputs on the unit. I have a musical theatre gig coming up, where I would love the flexibility to put a tuner pedal in between my bass (full circle) and the headway preamp for easy stomp mutung and...

    Double Bass Easy to install backup pickup?

    What do you all use as a backup pickup? I am looking for an easy to install pickup that I keep in my gig bag just in case, and does not sound like crap. Any suggestions? ... the best I can think of is the rev solo, however I am not sure how easy it would be to install. Thanks crew.

    Double Bass Small Cab suggestions?

    How would you do this? My MB150 has no speaker inputs... just outputs & a effects loop. I'm also going to try my preamp into the effects return to see if that is more reliable.

    Double Bass Small Cab suggestions?

    Whoa! that's a great idea. I will try that. It is the amp section that is broken. It got soaked with soapy water in a car wash! After repair, it now works but is unreliable... thanks for this golden suggestion!

    Double Bass Small Cab suggestions?

    I’ve been exploring Phil jones options and I think I would actually prefer to go with a 2x5 combo or the powered 2x5 cab that they make. Might also go with the c2 in the meantime if I can find a good price. I would also go for that traynor combo if I can find a used one in the USA!

    Double Bass Small Cab suggestions?

    would love to use my SL112 but it’s too big for what I’m looking to accommodate - particularly is very deep and takes up a lot of space on a cramped stage area with an upright bass there as well.

    I would love to get this but are there any traynor dealers in the USA?.. or is there a way to purchase in the USA?

    Double Bass Small Cab suggestions?

    Does anyone know of a good sounding cab that does not take up much space (for gigs where stage space is tight) that I can use with my Aguilar TH350? Perhaps something with a small speaker like 8" for low volume gigs. I have an Aguilar SL112 but its too big for tight situations & my GK MB150 is...

    anyone knowledgeable on buffers?

    I don’t have a consistent pedal board. I always just bring what I need for the gig - could be anywhere from 0-6 pedals including a tuner. Most pedals are true bypass but once in a while I’ll throw a old boss pedal in and I have a few EHX that I’m not sure about the bypass. Sometimes I use the...

    anyone knowledgeable on buffers?

    Got it - Thanks. Forgot to mention I'm using a passive bass. Sounds like I just need to try both and see which one I like better. I thought as much. Wonder why the rig doctor suggests to match the amp input as a rule of thumb? There must be some logic behind that.

    anyone knowledgeable on buffers?

    I'm wanting to try some buffers out and I've been watching the rig dr. YouTube vids for info. He says to match the input buffer to the input on your amp & if your amp has a high input impedance then 2.2 - 5 M is good. He used the Peterson strobotomp HD for an input buffer an ampless pedal board...

    Double Bass Looking for today's GK MB150

    As much as it didn't sound great in every room & placement (but did in most) there has not really been anything else like the MB150. Light 25lbs, carryable like a briefcase, very practical for a lot of different type of gigs, can sound great with both upright & electric bass. I would love to...

    Double Bass GK MB150s discontinued. What to replace it with?

    I ruined my MB150 shortly before the pandemic. I have an Aguilar SL112 that’s the same weight & planning on buying a tone hammer 350 & will see how that goes. Has anyone tried the new Ampeg RB112 (100 watts) with DB? It’s similar weight too & looks like a good alternative. Might give it a try...

    Hello folks, I've recently moved to LA and I don't know anyone! Not to mention it's hard to meet people due to covid. Are there any local LA players here that can recommend the best string repair shop in the city? If they specialize in basses then that would be great. I've found The Stien...

    Double Bass Aguilar TH350 - use with a pre-amp?

    How do you think it compares to the Clarus? I was also looking at the Clarus SL. Every amp that I've owned so far has sounded better for upright w/ my EDB-1 preamp... would be great to just plug into one amp. I have a more powerful head for louder gigs. Looking for something small, portable &...

    Double Bass Aguilar TH350 - use with a pre-amp?

    One gigs get going again I'll need to buy a new amp for upright/low volume electric bass gigs and I'm thinking of the Aguilar TH350 since it's so portable. I've never tried an upright through any of the TH series amps though. Does anyone feel the need for an outboard pre-amp with any TH series...

    Best lightweight 2x12 for Aguilar DB750?

    Best lightweight 2x12 for Aguilar DB750?

    I'm considering getting a lightweight (neo) 2x12 cab (or two of them). I have an Aguilar DB750 & a GK MB fusion 800 (but considering switching to a class D that goes down to 2ohm). Was looking into the Aguilar SL212 but was sorry to read that it's only 500 watts... I'd get a 4ohm cab at first...

    SVT-4 PRO consensus?

    What is everyone's opinion on this amp? I've never tried one and I'm thinking it might be a good cheaper alternative to an Aguilar DB750/751 with a wack load of extra features. How does it score with everyone on tone/functionality/reliability?

    Price quote on a broken Ampeg SVT 4 pro?

    I've come into contact with a seller who's trying to get rid of a broken Ampeg svt 4 pro. The treble knob doesn't work 100%, it's missing some knobs, AND he's getting no sound out of one of the power amps. How much would you all say this thing is worth?

    Alternative to the Radial Bassbone V2 for instrument switching...

    Does anyone know of any Dual Channel/instrument switching/pre amp/DI alternatives on the market to the Radial Bassbone V2?

    Mesa Subway D-800 vs. GK MB Fusion 800
