Double Bass Realist Help!

[Dave Irwin]

I have 2 basses, each have realists (original style) installed. One of them is now putting out less volume.
It gets to moderate volume on my Clarus, and that's as far as it goes.
Anyone ever experienced this?

I've had one go bad, I sent it back and they replaced it.

Same symptoms or did it just die all together?

Check the fit. If it fits well and is more than a few years old I suspect it's done. It seems the average lifespan is somewhere from 3-4 years. That has been my experience.

Thanks for the responses. I found the pertinent thread.
