    Double Bass Wishlist for URB Piezo preamp

    I have spent many years (like most of you) cycling thru different gear looking for a sound that is at once clear to hear: pitch, intonation, rhythmic accuracy, punch/thump etc. and yet not unlike the actual instrument we play (realistic neuance). Toward that end I have ended up mixing a mic in...

    Double Bass Need American Sources for URB Tone Wood

    Thanks to a hard drive crash a couple years back, I've lost contact info for a couple of North American sources for maple and spruce for building basses. I have nothing against European sourced woods, but the price seems excessive. I am an experienced luthier who wants to build one carved bass...

    Double Bass What songs not typically played on URB have you played?

    So, I play in a mostly Rockabilly band. We typically try to play the rockabilly songs no other bands in our area cover that aren't 1-4-5's, but we also play some newer rockabilly, old country, blues songs, and more recently punk and classic rock. Thing is, I REALLY enjoy the challenge of trying...

    Double Bass Good "backup" head for URB

    I'm looking for something decent for doubling in emergencies.... My AI is having issues, and I need a compact head to get me through a series of big band gigs while it's getting shopped. I double, but am willing to settle for a single input and switch cables when I switch instruments. I have...

    Double Bass Jazz Set Up For Kay URB

    Hi all, I have a Kay URB circa 1945 that I have played thousands of hours on for folk music. I do not play folk so much these days and would like to set it up for jazz which is my leaning now. I know my bridge is crap as I had to fit balsa wood pads under it order to conform with the indented...

    Double Bass Has anyone tried URB through a monster like DB751?

    Just curious is anyone has tried this combo? I've been dealing with URB amplification woes for some time now, and I was thinking that maybe just going for a lot of headroom but playing with the master relatively low might sound good.

    Double Bass URB tone

    Hi guys/gals, I'm trying to get a fuller tone out of my DB to use it more with my latin funk group, where I have been playing electric. I'm rocking an Eden Time Traveler and 2 1x15" cabinets (yes, I know 12" is what people seem to like, but I don't have the coin to invest in new cabs). The...

    Double Bass OK, here we go again. EUB as substitute for URB for URB player.

    It looks like most of the threads on here of "how do I get an EUB to sound like an upright" are primarily aimed at/by BG players trying to simulate the upright without the investment and size. I am interested in coming at it from the standpoint of already playing URB and I want something easier...

    Double Bass I'm jumping into the deep end...soon-to-be URB player looking for advice

    So, as I've been an electric player for over 20 years, I've decided I want to learn how to play upright bass. Where I live, there is quite a demand for upright players in many genres; after a few years of people asking me if I played upright, and disappointed when I answered negatively, I've...

    Double Bass Effects pedal to make URB magnetic pickup sound less fretless

    Hi Talkbass, My first post here on TB. Thanks for a great website, I've learned a ton! I play URB for jazz settings, mostly big band or small combo gigs, 2-3 times a month, so not a pro by any stretch. I'm a late comer to bass, started about 9 years ago, but played keys and guitar for...
