Double Bass NS EUB megathread

#782
Does anyone have pictures of the Undercover gig bag, specifically the newer ones with the zippers instead of the velcro? I THINK i tracked one down, but just want to double check. They appear to be pretty rare, or at least elusive (like pokemon ;) ).

Thanks.

Thanks! Just some random pics- inside and out. I am 99% sure it is an Undercover, but the only pics I have found are the one on BassCentral and one on the LowEnd.net and they don't really show anything. This one does NOT have a name tag on it, otherwise this would be a moot point ;)

I've sent emails to mono and gruv gear asking if they would consider making something. Maybe if others did...

I bought an undercover bag in 2010 from Bass Central but I really didn't like it.
The instrument feels really loose inside it, moving side to side all the time when you're walking, the tripod stand doesn't fit the extra side bags…
I don't know… maybe I should try the NS bag.

Dont know if the stock bag design has changed. The one I have was also loose on the insde. I dont really notice the slop with mine, but I rarely walk with it on my shoulder. The NS Cello bag is pretty nice, a double inner/outer bag, just needs more pad at the butt end.

I like it! it had flat wound bass guitar type strings on it which were nasty, put on a spiro B&E and I have jargars for the other three.. the bass does not like the jargars for arco [volume wise] for some reason.. and now.. the string battle begins.. … ….

Maybe that's just because the nearby Spiros are way louder than the Jargars.
I can't think of more different strings than Spiros and Jargars.

I know that they are very different strings. The issue though is not that the spiros are louder [they aren't they just aren't as dampened] but on this bass the spiros are more even in volume from pizz to arco, where the jargars are massive and boomy pizz and a quiet [yet smooth] arco. Actually on my acoustic bass jargars are louder arco than pizz..

Having good luck with the NS traditionals.

I've tried a high C from that set on another bass I have and I thought it really harsh..

Anyone use Corelli 370s on one of these? It's been over ten years since I've used those strings but I remember liking the D&G, I'm going to get a spiro A to match with the B&E which I am really happy with..
