Double Bass Cable connector clamp for double bass?

[Roger Davis]

Actually an interesting idea to use the tailpiece as an acoustic shield against spill and feedback for a mic. Whether you think you get the optimum sound with a mic placed that low is another question.

With this clip you can swing the mic to pick up from centrally under the bridge, or below or to the side of a bridge foot. I have gigged it and it works very well. Whether it's optimum is a matter for further exploration, but it works.

On the photo of the two clips, the upper image is of a 'normal' chrome jack, including a Full Circle shown here. The lower is for the slightly larger diameter Gage sockets.

This is far the best and the most versatile solution I have seen. Good work!

I also like the stud to keep a distance from the taulpeicr from the connector and the cable.

I also tried my other 3d-printed mount:

As well as the Lando Clamp-model I made myself:

I used the Bass on Stage and a Line Audio CM3 for each of the tests.

I have now used this configuration on two gigs. It works very well in my opinion.
