Hey, all. I (finally) got my pedal about 3 weeks ago (after months of waiting)! I haven't had a chance to play around with it yet (hopefully soon) but without plugging anything in, I noticed something that kind of bugs me. Maybe just a pet peeve of mine, but when I turn all of the knobs all the...

This is such a great amp. I've had one for years, and since then I've hardly ever needed anything bigger. Still use it a lot. Great for electric and acoustic. Best of luck with the sale. I can't say enough about these. So versatile, powerful and lightweight!!

Looks like a good, practical buy. I'm curious about your bass "lean-to stand." I don't think I've ever heard of or seen such a thing. Is that a commercially available product or something you (or someone else) created?

i guess I didn’t mention this in my original post, but there is no label, hence my posting on here to try and find out what it is. Does yours have a label?

Thanks, Louis It is similar indeed, but some marked differences are the finish, the tuners and the shape of mine is smaller/narrower up top. Still, its similar enough that I wonder if what I have is a Gliga. One one of the threads I read here had a posting from someone who posted that they had...

Hello Talkbass DB community and Happy New Year! I'm wondering if some/any of you can help me identify this bass. I've owned it for over nine years and never knew what it was (no label inside) although i was told it was probably Romanian and also that it was made in 2006, or around that time. I...

Sorry to re-direct this thread, but for those of you who are familiar with the Fdeck HPF and have used other HPF devices, I just came across this pedal online and am wondering if any of you have any experience with it. Note that they also offer to customize the pedal for upright bass to deal...

Hi, I’m interested. I’m in Manhattan and I won’t have any time to come out to Beacon anytime soon. If you happen to be coming into town anytime during the next few days, PM me and I can find a way to meet you and buy it from you. Thanks.

Thank you for the heads up. I reached out to Francis this past weekend and he wrote back and said he could make me one in time, so I have a new one on order directly through him. I guess I should take down this post now.

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone on here might have an FDeck HPF-pre that they want sell, as I'm interested in getting one. Although my preference is for a Series 3, I am open to any of the earlier models too. I could/might order one from Francis directly, but I get the feeling it will take a while...

This looks like a really good option if it supplies the current as advertised. If I had known about it earlier, I might have bought this initially.

A useful note with the Double Four: Add a pre-amp pedal to the input and one can get increased usable (within reason) SPL. Actually, you need to be careful with this when using a battery, because this is exactly how I get the Double Four to overdraw current from the (PowerAdd) battery and...

What's the other brand that you use?

No, it won't fit in the handle.

Sorry, I should have clarified that. It's the 25,000mAh one. Here's a link...

Hey, so I had issues with the PowerAdd cutting off. Not everyone will, so I think it's still a viable option, and your mileage will vary depending on your playing style, instrument/pickups etc, but when I was really pushing the amp playing upright bass my PowerAdd would shut down. This happened...

Perpetuals still available?

Yes, that sounds like it would result in the same thing. A lot of this really depends on how (hard) you play. plus I can play a lot at home at high volume and be fine, but then when I'm out on a gig and things get loud and I dig into a low open string - bang - it shuts down, and that's really...

Hey, thanks for the tip on the Poweadd2 battery! I noticed a couple of you posted that you had issues with the Double Four cutting out when run on these batteries. Last year I bought the slightly bigger PowerAdd (32,000mAh), and it worked fine when I used the amp for practicing at home, but I...

Are you having success with the Spirocore Mittels then? I used those on a Chadwick bass and they worked pretty well, but I wasn't doing that much bowing (but I definitely did some). Next time you have a chance, I would strongly recommend the Thomastik Superflexibles, based on your desire for...

I have to admit that things like this intrigue me, yet simultaneously arouse a degree of skepticism. I've seen stuff out there recently (for double bass in particular) like a brass rod which you put in your pocket or somewhere on your body, but not even in contact with the bass, and supposedly...

I've always played those first two notes with my ring finger, as I tend to keep 4-finger positioning all the way down the neck, and I guess what I do for the articulation would be considered a "ring finger roll." I just tried the "pinky and ring" fingering after reading this post, and it works...

Hey, I haven't had time to read through most of these responses, so maybe someone has suggested this already, but almost 12 years ago I bought one of these inexpensive Dean acoustic basses for the exact reason you describe, and I still have it and still use it and it works great for that...

Wow, that's a real work of art! Best of luck with the sale.
