Are you still selling this? and if so, do you have any pictures of your EA doubler?

Just curious because i've been listening to the album and the some of the grooves are really good, but i'm thinking with the exception of a few tracks, its all synth bass?

I'm the only one who does move in my band! everyone else is as stiff as a board while i'm dancing around (keep in mind i'm on upright here) stomping my foot, and just feeling it. I don't really care what people think of my dancing (i suck at it). It's more of a natural thing to do. You gotta...

Watched the whole thing. Twice. hilarious.:D:hiding:

So i finally got myself a rev solo II pickup and as expected, its too large to fit in my bass. So i read the instructions and it said to sand it, but i'm wondering, does it matter what grit sandpaper to use? i'm thinking maybe fine or very fine grit, but im a little unsure about it.

Well it would make it ten times easier to use standard notion for this, but i'll explain what im hearing in tab. Vamp: G|----------------| otherwise its Eb to Bb D|5--------8--------| A|4-6---------------| E|-------------6--| OR G|---------3------| D|5--1--------------|...

Dude watch Spinning with the daffodils live and you can see the awesomeness that is JPJ's 12 string.

Well i've never had a super bad set of strings yet, because i keep my strings for at least 6 months at a time but i've tried: 1. D'arrdio pro steel 2. Rotosound for the 6 string 3. Fender Nylon tapes 4. Dean Markley 7 string set and out of those 4 the ones I was disappointed in the...

I find that most metal i've heard now a days doesn't really need a bass because its so distorted and heavy already the bass wouldn't add much, especially with 3 guitarists. That being said, the only problem i see here is trying to play iron maiden without a bass which is like trying to play...

I don't know where i remember reading this but i seem to recall an interview saying that if cliff hadn't died, lars was gonna get kicked out for lack of chops. I forgot who it was though. Also i do remember for sure that kirk and cliff switched bunks at the last second due to a game of cards...

For me, dream theater. I loved that band and it was one of the reasons i started playing bass, but Black clouds and the new one just are blah (minus the count of tuscany which i personally find to be one of their best songs). Sure they've had some flops (falling into infinity) but this just...

I'm in a jazz band and i have jazz classes (like college ensemble) and i stand in the middle in between the pianist and drummer and the horns up front. It changes varying on the people im with but i have a video to show for what it looks like:

I've worked in a duo setting once or twice live with a piano friend of mine (plus many many MANY practices over the span of a year with him and a 4 piece.) I gotta say its challenging (i'm on upright for this) to keep the beat going (we play jazz) by myself as well as solo, but i gotta say it's...

So a couple of weeks ago i decided since i barely use my B string, i decided to get a 7 string set for my 6 string set and tune it EADGCF, but now i got bad rattle on most of my strings. I Suspect it's a nut issue because its used to the BEADGC i used for around a year or so. However if i...

My question is: Would this be good to double on Electric AND Upright? The two channels sound good so i don't waste my time inbetween songs EQing but would it sound good?

Hello fellow TB members i just have a question with some back story preceding it: So last tuesday i played in my jazz ensembles concert and my classmates honors recital. So it all goes fine (first concert using an upright and electric! :)) until the last song which was herbie hancocks...

So far its: "make anything you play musical" a funny one for me though is: "Play louder!" I play too soft :D

I would get your teacher (you do have a teacher right?) to check it out. He(or she) can get that settled quickly. Also make sure you like it as well, not because its cheap, because if you buy it, you'll be keeping it for a while.

Depends on how in depth you wanna get with jazz. It covers swing, bebop, covers louis armstrong a ton. kind of skims over 60's avant garde and free jazz and fusion. Now as jazz for a bass player theres some good bass players to listen to: Jimmy Blanton(duke ellington) Walter Page (Count...

Ok, So i looked into the ESP and it looks great, I would love to be able to balance my eq on the bass and maybe with a volume knob mod, i could really like it a lot more. One more question though, Should i get a 6 string fretless instead? Seeing how i play 6 string fretted, maybe i should...

I have it, I beat a good amount of songs easily, but honestly the whole tab reading thing doesn't really work for me. Been in the sheet music/pop chord world for too long to a point where i prefer it to tab. I don't really like too many of the songs either. Not saying its a bad game. However if...

I started around 6th grade playing flute, and then i switched to oboe the next year, liked it, but not enough to really do anything big with it. got my first bass around 16 or so. I read treble clef as an oboist and can read bass clef as a bassist. I read big band charts in high school, but i...

Actually i've been playing upright now for a few months (with a great teacher and everything), but i also play electric. So the lines don't mean a thing to me, and some times they even hinder me. I'm sorry i forgot to mention that haha. I just figured i could get a cheaper fretless because i'm...

Yea the squier doesn't seem too good to me anyways. I was just wondering if anyone actually tried these knock off basses from rondo. I've heard good things, so i was thinking about it. However i should check TB classifieds too.

I've been very dissatisfied with my 6 string sound for a while now, and i've been thinking, maybe get a cheap beginner fretless to test the waters (i have tried a fender fretless and it sounds great!) I was thinking something from rondo music like the SX ura or douglas basses, but i just wanna...

Personally I use Nylon tapewounds on my acoustic bass and it sounds really good to me (i'm going for an upright bass sound for my jazz band while i learn an actual upright). I use Rounds on my 6 string. But to answer your last three questions: flats are easy on your fingers, reduce noise and...

Oh my god. I could listen to this guy play solo performances all day. I only hope one day i can be half as good as him. What an amazing display of musicianship :eek:

Thanks, i probably should've thought of that first :hmm: I'm just gonna save up for a standard bass. and thanks shadygrove, can i have my cookies now? :D

Well i found this bass (upright of course) at my local music store and i've been wanting to dive into upright for a long time (being a jazzer, using electric just doesn't feel right to me sometimes) and compared to other uprights i've seen, its smaller, so i'm making the assumption here that its...

I've heard good things about SX basses if you're looking for a knock off. or a douglas. or any of those basses on rondo music. generally most of them are between 100-300 with the absolute cheapest (based on memory) being in the high 90 range.

maybe, but just slap some pickups on there and it'll be good.

What would happen if you made the bridge higher? just curious because it seems like it should be higher. I would love to make my own upright. how much did it cost to build?

My fingers are my picks! :D but seriously if i do use a pick i just use a thumbpick for grip and so i can switch from my pick to my fingers easily.

Well... 1. Very Slanted bass (like anywhere between 45 and 75) 2. Upright like plucking (sometimes) on my electric or acoustic 3. When i do pluck with my fingertips i hear very staccato-like noise upon playback as in i don't put enough meat on my plucking 1 and 2 are just for comfort...

Well, i was worried about the whole name thing, so we never made anything. We have a few videos on my keyboardists channel, but only 2 i really like. http://www.youtube.com/user/Jayplus1 I'll probably make the facebook page at least so if we do change it(probably not) then i can always...

Well you see, i've been in this Jazz band for a couple of months now, we do Classic jazz tunes (plus more modern tunes) with our own twist (sometimes doing hip hop and other stuff). However, we've been running with this name called New Jazz Flow (based on kayne wests song New God Flow, which...

I know i had just checked after my post and saw the ones online acoustic electric but the one i tried out was strictly acoustic. Weird huh? :hmm:

Well this is technically acoustic :D:bassist::hiding: but in all seriousness i can only speak from experience in which i love my dean playmate, its 200 bucks, acoustic electric and it plays fine (though my action is high on it; Personal preference) If you're looking for a little pricier and...

Well i haven't posted here in a while but i've been so busy with writing songs and having awesome practices with this jazz trio (now a quartet with a killer tenor player), I guess the tenor player got us a 'gig' on sunday at some arts festival in providence (roger williams park, not the zoo but...
