Double Bass Ergo Megathread part I

[Michael Vee]

Just curious... is there a Talkbass Ergo club? If so I wanna join.

There's not one in the megathread. Might be nice to start a separate Club thread. You want to do the honors?

 

[portaflexer]

What the heck... I figured we should start a club. I guess that makes me #1. Post here and claim your number. I'll maintain the spreadsheet.

 

[portaflexer]

Okay... everybody join HERE.

 

[Fishface]

I'll throw my hat in. Does this make me #2???

 

[portaflexer]

Fishface = #2

mcrracer #3
4 string Ergo added a volume control. Loving it. Just bought a german bow and working on Bow techniques.

 

[Showdown]

I'm in....

 

[portaflexer]

Woo hoo! We've already got 4 members. I get a formal list compiled tonight.

 

[butchonbass]

I've been playing nothing but my Ergo5 for over a year. Love it! Let's see, member #5, plays an Ergo5. Perfect.

 

[portaflexer]

List so far:

#1 - portaflexer
#2 - Fishface
#3 - mcracer
#4 - Showdown
#5 - butchonbass
#6 - damonsmith

I'll get something a little more formal posted later tonight.

PM sent.

Ergo classic mahogany 4-string, picked up IN PERSON from Jesse at his basement shop in Chattanooga on Dec. 30, 2005.

I'm the one who PM'ed Francois and suggested he create the Ergo megathread, although it was Eggman who had the first post in the megathread. I'm taking credit for that too, since Eggman has since lost his faith and sold his Ergo.

Welcome #7.

 

[foderaman77]

I guess I'm #8. I have a Ergo 4 and soon to be in possession of a Ergo 8 string Mongo.

Has any one tried alternative drum cymbal stand then the one supplied with the Ergo?

 

[portaflexer]

Okay... I posted us a home page.

 

[damonsmith]

Has any one tried alternative drum cymbal stand then the one supplied with the Ergo?

Oh yeah. That is one of the first orders of business. The key thing is a new stand and new strings. The rest of the instrument is very well crafted. I use a Pearl tom holder, wood screwed to the back, it is very stable and great.
I got it from ebay for $5. Dig through the Ergo megathread for more details.
