Thanks. The wonderful Peter Mach took it in today and will have it out within a day or two.

I noticed this today for the first time (see photos). First a hairline crack in the fingerboard. Second, the fingerboard is detaching from said crack 'til a couple of inches from the end of the fingerboard close to bridge. Question is: I have 2 gigs in the next week and a half, should I hold...

At that price, August is a good month also. I'll take them if they are found. My wife once used an E string to hang up a bird feeder. You should look there first. (She thought It was a steel wire)

Tuning in Fifths is adhered to by some classical players. Here's a good article about it: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Popular amongst cello, violin and kazoo players as well.

I picked up a pz-deluxe a few months back (http://www.tonebone.com/pzdeluxe.php) and it totally changed my outlook on amplified sound. The 10M ohm buffer is the key here. It took away the harsh attack and the hollow nasal sound of my Realist. Now, I get part of the well-rounded sound of my Shen...

This is the Doublebass forum (i.e. The Dark Side). I'm thinking a Mod will show up soon to bump you along on your way (BG side).

There's nothing I can say right now but express great sadness and gratitude. Charlie, you are a great soul and inspiration. http://ottawacitizen.com/entertainment/music/jazzblog/rip-charlie-haden

I was privy to a great performance at Ottawa's NAC last night by the Oliver Jones Trio starring Oscar Peterson's spiritual son on piano. Montreal bassist Eric Lagacé was in top form with a lithe and graceful touch that was velvety smooth yet driven. A wonderful thing to watch, especially when...

Here's an old thread featuring some knowledgeable folks : http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f1/chicago-area-bass-shops-268908/ People like Eric Hochberg might chime in with new info as well.

Great to hear and thanks for the update.

Basics to consider: Link Removed Hopefully things work out. Good luck!

Great post. Is that a regulation soccer ball? How does it sound without it? ;)

A couple of bottles of this usually helps in dealing with the situation: Invalid Link Removed

That's because there just isn't anything funny about violins. :hiding:

Looks great - congrats. Any sound clips?:hyper:

That banjo is really sharp... :hiding:

If there's no monitors for vocals and not much else but a snare for drums, I say go all out acoustic. A good path to success is to not push the small PA too much so that the front end doesn't drown out the bass and snare. If you guys are smokin', they'll be listening. ps - be careful not to...

Neat stuff : http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f179/kent-superman-blanton-video-872907/ Be sure to let us know if you find info on the attachment.

Generally speaking, you should play with as many cars as you can and go back to the one that speaks to you, whether it's an old German hatchback or a newer Asian hybrid. ;)

My first and only instrument is a Shen 180. It is a wonderful instrument and I can't say enough about it. However, the 150 couldn't be more similar in sound, feel, tone and for a slightly better price. I bought the 180 used and at a good price which explains the choice I made. The 180 does...

John Clayton's not bad also : Invalid Link Removed What about a fellow TB'er: Invalid Link Removed

The ad mentions Gollihur upgrades so you might want to pick their brains. Also, listed retail at 9995$ going for 3200$, seems too good to be true. Good luck though. Let us know what you find out and/or make out.

Real-life/email exchange with a guitarist I played briefly (very briefly) with. I can only shake my head: Hey How’s it going? It’s been a while! Listen, I’m in a new band and we’re going to be needing a bass player soon as our current guy is leaving. Your name came to mind. It’s the not...

...but I never get tired of harping on this :Link Removed

Ça me ramène à l'adolescence. The Hasselhoff pic on the music stand kind of freaks me out though. ;) Why is it probably the last vid?

I had, of course, a great time in Chicago. The well-known jazz hangouts do not disappoint : Andy's, Green Mill. It's all I could hit up in a 3 night stay although we saw the wonderful Hochberg Trio at Catch 35. Eric's playing had a subtle beauty that defies description and is worth hearing...

Thanks Eric. We'll be at Catch 35 on saturday night. If you have time between/before sets, come say hi. I'll be the only dead-giveaway-he's-a-canadian (whatever that is) in the place.

Uilleann Pipes? That's just mean... : )

Hear, hear

Nice - thanks. I'm also pondering about getting down to the Jodie Christian tribute. Never having been to Chicago, how easy/hard is it to get from downtown (south Franklin) to West Pullman Park and back with transit? We could cab it but it seems like an expensive option. Thanks for all...

Hey Bruce, 'Tis a wacky space for it, ain't it? I try to keep the quips for Bass humor, otherwise, I faithfully observe and listen as a good student should. cheers, lorian...

ps - just realized this thread should have been in Miscellaneous, not off-topic... anyways, carry on

Anyone know of more informal settings - especially on the sunday? I'm not looking to get up by the way, just looking to listen in to a jam session and observe. thanks, lorian...:D

Seafood and good music, great plan. We are lovers of both. Possibly getting to share a pint with a fellow TB'er - that's a bonus. :) ps - of course, I find out after booking my flight that there's a gazillion people descending on the Windy city for a marathon that weekend. Sheesh...

Knock kn... Get a teacher.

Knock knock... Who's there? Newbie Read the stickies.

This novice DB player is going to Chicago in october (weekend of the 11th). Any suggestions for jazz clubs, etc? We will be staying in the Gold Coast area and walking and/or taking the metro from there. thanks, lorian...
