I’m getting a little tired of the higher tension of Elixir SS, even the lighter sets. I do like how smooth they feel though. Does anyone know if the Dragon Skin steels feel very grippy? I might try the quantum nickels if so…or maybe I’ll get round to the Rotosound Nexus sets I keep thinking about…

I don't think I posted this one yesterday even though I finished it - what a plonker. Dave's request for the Kenny Gradney bass part to 'Let It Roll' from Little Feat's 1988 album of the same name. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/let-it-roll-little-feat/

I picked this up from @Basilpea not that long ago. It's a great cab, but it isn't a cosmetic match to my other AT210, so being the fickle person I am I want to replace this... It's got some small dents from being gigged, but overall in good condition and absurdly light. You can pick it up with two fingers! It's also very loud. W52 x D33,5 x H57 cm 600 watts at 4 ohms 103dB SPL Also comes with GR Bass soft padded cover. GR say: The lightest 2×10 bass cabinet in the world. Thanks to its size, lightness, and power, the AT 210 is one of the most versatile cabinets in the entire catalog. Suitable for both small and large live shows, it allows you to always have your sound with you. With the AeroTech line, you can have the incredible innovation of our Carbon Fibre cabinets combined with the Pure Sound of GR, which is the pure sound of your instrument. Incredible sound, lightweight, power, impact resistance, and a beautiful modern design. I'm afraid this is collection only, as I don't have anything suitable to ship it in. No trades either thanks. I'm using @Basilpea's pictures, which I hope he's okay with.

Best means of reducing acoustic bass feedback?
snorkie635 replied to JohnDaBass's topic in Accessories and Misc
It's sometimes a hit or miss playing an amplified ABG indoors. I've done gigs with no problem and three weeks later in the same venue, it's like a banshee has moved in. Sometimes, the banshee appears in the middle of a song and never returns? I play an Ovation Elite V and always use multiple plugs - the bass has about a million sound-holes of differing sizes and to be honest, I'm not too sure they make all that much difference in the end. Anyhow, best of luck in your quest. -

BassAdder60 started following Ampeg V4B v Ashdown CTM100
-
I’ve owned both amps and both played through the SVT212AV cab CTM100 was nice but took took a bit of fiddling getting the EQ right The Ampeg V4B was better, fitted the cab better, sounded more valve like and easy EQ to get a good sound In my last rock band ( loud ) it was running around 1/2 volume so had more to give but after it warmed up and was pushing a decent volume the sound was the best. CTM 100 nice but V4B awesome and clearly a better amp I feel

Have fun, smile lots and look like you’re enjoying yourself. Try to make eye contact with the audience. Take spares. Act professionally. Remember that your job is to entertain the audience. If you’re singing, set up your mic carefully so it’s in the right position when you start and if there’s no stage have one of the three legs of the mic stand pointing directly towards you so you’re less likely to have your teeth knocked out if a punter bashes into it. Are you all using wireless? Have you all used your wireless systems together to make sure the channels don’t clash? Use ear protection. Tinnitus isn’t fun. Good luck and let us know how you get on.

Double bass rebuild - not for the faint of heart!
itu replied to The Guitar Weasel's topic in EUB and Double Bass
I built a pickup maybe 25 years ago that can handle low frequencies, DC - 400 Hz. It is made from an acceleration sensor. Small, but goes really low, even too low (DC). I made a HPF to it because amps were really hot after some playing: the directional component was too much to most amps I tried. Needs a power, like a 9 V battery. Not so good by itself, because of so limited response but could take care of the low end. Sensibility is comparable to other pickups available. I got the sensors from a certain manufacturer. They did not limit the response in production, and therefore it goes so high. Many units are limited to, say 100 Hz. -

The one in The Gallery is a nice thing. I tried it the other day. Thin neck, nice tone, looks the part. My reservation is that I think it might be a bit pricey for what it is. But I guess the gallery has overheads that we don't. Your shortscale will undoubtedly be nicer to play, and what with these both being quite 'thumpy' semi acoustic basses, I doubt the scale length will make any real diff to the tone. GLWTS!- 4 replies
