Double Bass Azola EUBs Megathread

#546
I'm definitely interested to read what you've written about strings on EUBs.
Where are these posts please?

But, as far as I can tell, you've joined TB only nine days ago, taken the name of an instrument that the promotion seems to have been your main activity, so, forgive me, but that looks quite commercial to me.
I think you should read this: Commercial User Policy (CUP) | TalkBass.com
And in particular the section about non-acceptable posting behaviour.

That said, welcome aboard, M.TravelBass.
It'd be nice to state your real name as well, if that's possible.

Regards,
François

No not a mistake. The endorsement came about by my interest to buy their bass and once they saw my curriculum and videos they decided to endorse me. Which does not mean I am working for them or have a depot here in Canada where the instruments can be bought. What they did though is let me have the instrument at a lower cost being I lived in Canada and their instrument would be seen with me touring until they open a shop in North America. The reason I took down the part about the endorsement was to not mislead people into thinking I was working for them other than I got the instrument with a bit of a discount because of my professional doings for years as a jazz bassist.
Please let me know if this is a problem.
Thanks

I, too, saw the post about you being named an endorser. It appeared on the same day as several other posts of yours, which also gushed about your (revolutionary, best-ever) traveling bass.

My impression of your bass was that it was a nice EUB, inspired by many other hollow body "stick" basses, very much like an Azola or Eminence, but hardly new, revolutionary or the first hollow EUB we have ever seen.

I too, felt you were on the verge of being "commercial", and your chosen name being co-incident with the product name of your bass re-inforced that impression. After reading those first three posts I thought "spoken like a paid endorser".

So, enough about your bass, OK? You profited from your relationship with TravelBass, and you are trying to pay for it here, with your frequent mentions of its superiority, whether or not you realize it.

If not in direct violation of Talkbass commercial policy, your postings would seem to be at odds with the spirit of those policies and the general non-commercial flavor of Talkbass.

Hey all, I just picked up a used Lightning Bug, and I was sliding the bridge to put the scale length at true 41" and noticed that there are screws under the bridge used as a placement reference... Not unlike the nipple underneath the bridge on an Ampeg BB. Is this stock? It also seemed like there was some kind of adhesive under the bridge foot.

No screws or adhesive under mine.
