The gubbins on Al McKibbon's headstock
Beer of the Bass replied to fergs40's topic in EUB and Double Bass
Not many jazz players use an extension - Ron Carter is a rare exception. I've not spent time with one myself, but some players feel they change the pizzicato feel and response on the E string in ways they don't like. They're very widely used by orchestral players where pizzicato is a lower priority, and even required by some orchestras. I'm guessing that pic of McKibbon is some years later than Birth Of The Cool, since he appears to have a pickup wire coming from his bridge too. -

Acoustic Image Upshot speaker for sale

I have an AI Doubleshot cab, and can confirm that they're a top quality manufacturer.... who have now sadly gone 😞 Before getting the Doubleshot, I was considering one of these. They don't come up too often, and will surely become more scarce. Ideal tiny cab, which is louder than you'd think. I don't know the seller btw - but have a bump for a great, compact cab. -

Shaggy started following Warwick D-tuner issue - help advice.......
-
Afternoon all.... I suspect that there is no solution to this particular problem, but putting it out there just in case anyone smarter than me has done the same mod and found a fix Recently fitted a Hipshot Gotoh GB7 de-tuner to my Warwick Streamer; I'm fond of these gizmos as I don't get on with 5 strings but occasionally need to play drop-D tuning. The problem is that due the typical Warwick arrangement of the tuners being raked backwards towards the player, when the lever of the D-tuner is released, it hits the body of the G string tuner before the E string has fully detuned down to D (see 2nd pic). One fix I guess would be to re-align the tuners to the conventional "straight out sideways" position, but I really couldn't do that to a Warwick! The Gotoh GB7 is the correct type (that I assume Warwick copied theirs from), but would a different Hipshot model maybe work? Thanks! Greg

Owned from new for around 12yrs, I bought this from Thomann and had it set up for Rockabilly. It definitely feels a step up from the entry level basses and I have used it live a lot. Most of its life has been more of feature in my living room though. The last couple of years I have been coming to terms with the fact that I need to sell it. Space is at a premium, it rarely gets used and I am of an age where the EUB seems the easier option. The specs are here Thomann link if anyone is interested. I added a pickup which has been useful - a David Gage Realist. People often call it a copper head. They’re industry standard and normally about £120 used. Mine is included with the bass at no extra cost to you. There is a tatty (by my high standards) gig bag and the strings are currently Gut-A-Like vintage ones Gut A Like strings You’ll see I added a few stickers. These should be fairly easy to remove. I’m happy to do it, or I can leave it. Equally I am happy to add more pictures. It’s currently lent against the wall in my place in Hungerford, where I am Sunday to Thursday evenings. Postage looks too hard to do so it would be a collection. I have gotten it in a Peugeot 107 before - not comfortably, so perhaps don’t bring the family if collecting!

Mismatched outputs for current doubling cables
Stub Mandrel replied to PinkMohawk's topic in Effects
How do these doublers work? If they are just commoned wires whichever output has the highest voltage will be doing nearly all the work. -

Bought new by me , light use, good condition and all working as it should. Supplied in original packaging box. Will come with additional " manual mounting bracket for upshot" so you can fix the AI amp to the speaker - or indeed any other small, suitable amp. Asking less than half of what I paid for speaker and bracket. fretless

To be fair the Ancoats 4-inline headstock would look a lot less of a wonky lump if you just cut the contrasting bit off.

I have a high power solder station with temperature control now, means I can use a 1mm bit or a point and work with smd or tackle larger stuff with ease. But it costs six times as much.

Yup, makes sense. The bass presets in there are brilliant, the only thing that frustrates me is you need to remember where you saved stuff, "U8 Bank 4" makes sense until you power down, but when I power up again the following day, I rarely know what I saved where. I need to write stuff down! Also, it's a little annoying that you can't easily use the compressor and octave together without having to use the Modulation area for the compr, and then you can't use any chorus... I wish they'd have separated out the compressors. Anyway, I'm still very much enjoying mine. I still have my proper pedalboard, but for mucking around, and rehearsal etcs, the ME-90B very much does the job. I was tempted by the GX10, but I get peeved when us bassists are an afterthought. Anyway, I hope you continue to figure it all out.

Reminds me of a Rickenbacker when they aren't doing the cresting wave thing.
