Double Bass David Gage docking station

[Stewie]

Just got this in the mail. I bought it on the advice from Sam Reese and Mark Gollihur, both of whom said it barely changed the treble. They were right. Paired with my Krivo pickup and Line-6 G10 wireless, this just makes everything fit. I now have a volume knob in a handy place. Looks good and sounds excellent. Now I can stop screwing around with my gear. Life is good!

I run my wire thru that heart-shaped hole. I like that wireless unit. Cool. Have fun!

mine goes through a little donut in the round hole. It is left over from a Fishman BP100 that I gave away. The donut is cool, the pickup, not so much

Gotta have a wireless so I can spin my plywood dance partner

 

[Sam Reese]

Actually, you don't need wireless to spin your dance partner. With a cable, one must know how to spin counter-clockwise to uncoil it -or- lift the bass off the floor to "free" the spun cabling. I also gave my BP-100 away. I'm pretty sure it helped jumpstart a worthy young bassist's career.

Spinning is important, but even more important is not stepping on the cord and unplugging the bass during a gig. I have trouble not stepping on my own feet (maybe that’s why my dance partner is mostly plywood)

 

[Sam Reese]

My luthier, Michael Magee is steadfast on the "New York City wrap" where you tie off the cable on the tailpiece- advising that it is far cheaper to replace the cable than the other damage that could occur. I always tie my cable off. By the way 9Thumbs, I'm sure your dance partner never misses a move that you make! Enjoy your new volume knob. I used mine today (in concert).

Hey how are you doing with that wireless system? Is it still working out for you?
Is she using the same thing? Trisha Gagnon moves all over the stage to accommodate the single mic her band John Reischman and the Jaybirds use.
