Double Bass The best upright sound...

[Marty Forrer]

... I have ever had. It's taken me years, but I finally have found my Holy Grail of tone.
SBW G, Eurosonic D,A,E. > Duece bridge > Zac Victor pickup > 1989 German carved top bass > Xvive wireless > Acoustic Image Clarus Series 4 head > two Barefaced One10 cabs. Amazingly it sounds better in the 1 meg input than the 10meg input on the Clarus. This is why I use the Xvive wireless, it has an input impedance of 1 meg. I think I could have purchased a house with the expense of strings, amps, speakers and what-not over the decades. Sigh...

Congrats, that's gotta be exciting (and a huge relief)!

Are you using Eurosonic Lights or Ultralights or ...?

Big Congrats!!!

From my experience, any of the SBW strings that work for a person are worth the low cost of the whole set (I'm using D and G)!

Glad you're also enjoying the Vic's pickup, the wireless dongle and the Deuce bridge too. We're on fairly parallel paths!

Eurosonic Lights from memory.
