Of course I forgot to mention the foot pedal page turner :thumbsup: I’m not using that every time, as most of my gigs only require single page sheets with chord charts and the occasional obbligato, but when things get more complicated the pedal is super useful. I own a cheapish Donner pedal I...

iPad + ForScore app + Apple Pencil (or similar). That’s my setup, works great. I own a 10.5 inches iPad Air - I think any iPad will do, maybe except for the Mini. u.

Thanks a lot for helping! I appreciated each reply. In the end I think I’ll give those Galli flatwounds a try! Pricey but promising. Thanks again! u.

Hello, I’m a UBass early adopter from Italy. Got my spruce top UBass back in 2011, iirc. I played that bass quite often back then, but it has been sitting in the case for the last (not so few) years. I feel like I could go back to it in the next weeks or months, for rehearsals mostly, maybe as...

Hello, I'm wondering - how did it go with your new rig on your full band gig? Thank you! :) u.

Hi Erik, How did you get to order one of those? Did you speak with an EU dealer or straight to Acoustic Image in the USA? I live in Italy, I’d like to try the Upshot but I thought that, since living on the other side of the pond, I’d have to wait for Thomann to show them up. Thanks for your...

Sorry crguti, my fault, actually I wasn't clear - I've read the manual, I know the amperage value I've got to look for, what I'm not sure about is the lenght, 20mm. Is that a standard or are there different fuse sizes? I know I could just open the cord receptacle and use a ruler, I just hoped...

Hello everybody! Super happy with my VT Bass 500 so far! I'd like to buy some spare fuses to bring to my gigs; I've found these, Invalid Link Removed, but I'm not sure they're going to work. I'm from Italy, so I'm running my head switched on 220V - 240V. Anyone knows for sure if those fuses are...

Hello, Anybody here knows anything about this Prestoflex string set? It's a new product, I think, and the strings are available for sale from a European dealer; price sounds good (~110€ vs. the regular 145€) but I cannot find anything about the strings. Would like to hear some opinion before...

Thanks everybody, I've seen the replacements on your store but I hope I'll be able to make it without having to pay for the whole set, as it's just one of the four heads I'm missing, not even the whole tuning gears, so I think I'll try getting in touch with the builder and the european dealer...

Hello, I've lost the tuning machine head for the E string of my Eminence bass. What kind of replacement should I look for? Do I have to look for double bass machine heads, or are electric bass machine heads ok? Or maybe there are specific replacements, custom made for this bass? Hope somebody...

Thanks, I've already tried, of course I did find something useful (not that much actually) - but I was looking for a more trustworthy source, like a printed book or such. u.

Hello everybody, hope this is the right section to ask for this kind of help: I'm looking for the scores (chords and melodies) of Charlie Haden's compositions - tunes like First song, Waltz for Ruth, Silence, Nightfall, Our spanish love song, Spiritual... Anybody knows a source where I can find...

Hi, anyone else having issues with a noisy waist extension? When I study on my unplugged Eminence, there is a relatively loud noise coming from the place where the waist extension joins the body of the instrument. Anyone got some tip about dealing with that? Thanks! u.

Thanks PaulieBe, I'm checking AnyTune, they give a 30 day trial - looks like it's good, even though its interface is less clean then Capo's. But it gets the job done! lyla1953, I used to be a Transcribe user, but the interface is quite out of date, and it's a bit too much on the expensive side...

Doing all well with the T.I.s, even though I need to do a proper setup as soon as possible. Thanks again everybody! u.

Hello, used to rely on Capo on the iPhone and on Mac Os X, it helped me a lot when in need of doing a transcription. Now I don't have an iPhone anymore, and I think that the Os X version of the app is somewhat "broken" since they changed the way the A-B loop works and forced to work in grid...

Ok people, thanks everybody for your help and suggestions! I'm going to try the TI flats. Hope they'll be fine, as actually they're not cheap at all. I'm going to need to loosen the truss rod a bit, right? Bye, thanks again! u.

Hello everybody, I'm thinking about switching to flats on my 2012 Am Standard P bass. It is currently strung with a set of La Bella light roundwounds (760RL). I'm going to buy online, so no chance to try before buying. Do you think I'm going to be ok with a set of light flats (760FL)? Speaking...

Thank you Mark, I've never thought about that when placing the Bass Max, my only concern was for the fit to be very tight, but I didn't worry about the area of the contact. I will check that out, and I'll message you my email address right now, I'll gladly read those tips. So I'll try the tips...

Hello everybody, Asking for advice here: I've been playing for some years a Reghin double bass, running through a K&K Bass Max pickup to a Gallien Krueger mb150s combo. I usually play with this setup in small jazz ensembles, theatre gigs, etc. I've recently bought a slightly louder rig to use...

Grats, nice instrument! I have number 29, bought it in November. Same finish, almost twins! I bet (I know!) you'll have some fun! u.

I own a spruce top fretted Ubass, and I'm very happy with it, even if intonation is not perfect when approaching the higher register. I've read good things about the fretless Ubass too, but of course it would be better if you could try both of them for yourself and make your own choice. Loads of...

Ubass with no hesitation. Make sure to check out the Kala Ubass megathread somewhere in the board, hundreds and hundreds of posts have been written about the little instrument. For a lot of people and for me, those strings and the sound coming from them is what makes you love that bass. Also, on...

Thanks! :bassist: u.

Hello everybody, I've been wishing for some years for a nice P-Bass, finally got this one, it's from the 2012 American made FSR hand stained series, mine has got number 29 written in the back of the headstock. Beautiful, a real pleasure to play and to listen to - definitely well spent money...

hello, long time lurker here; i'm mostly an upright player, almost one year since getting my spruce top u.bass. i'm really fond of the instrument, so useful for rehearsal, for transcribing and writing down bass lines and solos without having to handle the doghouse- and, of course, for gigging...

Hi, I'm new to the forums and I wish to join the club - black Ashbory bass received a few days ago straight from LA. A quick question for experienced Ashbory players. I've tried the bass on an active cab, one of those you use as a monitor on stage, and it sounded sweet; when I plug it in my GK...
