Double Bass where can I find a pouch to mount my preamp?

[xXMikeHellXx]

Hello folks I'm looking for a pouch to mount my k&k rockabilly plus preamp to my tail piece and I'm not having too much luck finding one online so I was wondering if any of you know where to get one or have any other ways to do it. I've seen someone put some velcro on the preamp and tailpiece but I'd rather not go that route.

On the Gollihur website there is info on mounting a preamp to your tailpiece (and he also sells a kit): PREAMPS: Mounting a Small Preamp to your Tailpiece - FAQ courtesy of GollihurMusic.com

I sort of made my own thing, using a sponge (which I trimmed a bit) and a velcro strap from the DIY shop.

A point and shoot camera case?

You could try the beer holder trick. It's pretty good. I've had my Fdeck permanently on the bass for about a month now.

I like the blue C-clamp.

I really hope that bridge doesn't fall!!!

I like the blue C-clamp.

The clamp is to give me a point in the middle of the bridge to mount an ATM350 - the pin in the end added a bit of noise unfortunately so needs work.

The beer holder is great tho. Just like plugging in an EB - ready to go and you have volume and HPF right there on the bass. Plug straight in to a house DI without worrying about impedance etc..

I had a Fishman preamp mounted like that on my bass for all of fifteen minutes as it deadened the sound way too much. Might not be an issue for rockabilly though.

Better get the DPA bass mount. It is not too expensive and you can either clip to the gooseneck holder or put the gooseneck into the rubber and clamp a bent metal over it to hold it securely.
Your C-clamp is an effective damper...

You don't mind the beer holder dampening your bass? I suppose it's fine if you're amplified and playing loud. The blue clamp adds a lot of mass to your bridge, also affecting your tone.

I haven't noticed a difference TBH. Could be a useful A/B experiment.

I'm playing plugged in most of the time so maybe I don't notice it as much.

Thanks I'll look into it. Sometimes even cheap items can end up costing a bomb once you get them to the other side of the planet. Also I'll need to see if the ATM will work with it. I like the idea of this setup a lot....

* edit....$36 for a piece of rubber???

Are you S*^#TING me

Seems that the prices have raised a lot during the last few years.
It's even more expensive in Europe now.
I think I got it for 25€, maybe 29€.

I started out with my K&C preamp strapped onto the back of the tailpiece with velcro, but when practicing at home, one of the cords would inevitably rattle against the bass.
Now I keep a quiver tied onto the bass and clip the preamp onto the top of that.

I made this bracket to hold an ATM 350. It's a bit lighter than a C clamp and gets the mic to the sweet spot. Since this photo was taken I have the mic head closer to the table, about 1/2"

Sorry to hijack your thread.

Hi I am looking for some one who actualy got DPA mount DPA BC4099 - please can you scan it for me or write back dimensions not mounted on instrument - thanks.

I lost my mic with the DPA mount (or cannot find it) so I cannot help you with that.
But there are other similar mounts now available at Thomann as far as I can remember.
