    A stunning performance from Dave Holland on his composition 'The Empty Chair (For Clare)', a dedication to his wife who had recently passed away. Some deep guitar work from Kevin Eubanks who is such an idiosyncratic player. The tune is from Holland's 2013 'Prism' album. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/the-empty-chair-for-clare-dave-holland/

    After following this topic and other pa related threads i finally pulled the trigger on a used pair of rcf 710s.Sounded great in my garage studio tonight.First full gig for my duo this friday so we shall see how they compare to the srm 450s we used to use in a previous band .Going to run the double bass through a gk combo with a small amount through the pa.dont know if they will handle the suitcase bassdrum though

    If you can play several DB's that would be ideal. Just because it is a "3/4 double bass" doesn't mean too much because the dimensions and shape vary a lot as well as the neck size and shape. I have owned three DB's and one is perfect for my body size and shape, another is OK and the third was not good at all for me. Just a suggestion, play as many as you can before you buy so you will know what feels best for you. Good luck.

    Glad you're on the mend. Just take it easy with the ankle and no jogging or running up stairs for a few weeks. Dave

    Thomastik flats (check reviews) https://www.thomann.co.uk/thomastik_jf344.htm but super long scale 36”) they fit my 34” jazz fine though E string does wind around post but no issue .. but I’m really a roundwound steels player & thought I’d try em as they are more metallic sounding than regular flats & have normal kinda tension .. less than an hours play & strung inline 4 (jazz bass) .. £30 posted

    OK, if the units are both fairly light and you don’t plan to hump the assembly around to gigs and stuff then screws into a batten are probably fine. I’d still take your measurements off the actual setup though.

  11. Mottlefeeder
    Something to be aware of is that the original rack specification was for 19" by 1.75" modules, but as a result of standardisation in Europe it is now a close metric equivalent. Although the new standard allows compatibility with older gear, building your sleeve around an unknown panel may mean that not all panels will fit. David

    The 5s are 17.5mm, whether it's a US or Tribute model. They're very similar - the Tributes have flatsawn maple necks compared to the quartersawn ones on the US models, they come in a much more limited range of finishes, and the body woods tend to be heavier, but, otherwise, they're practically identical. The pickups and electronics are the same. G&L Tributes are one of the best bargains out there, basically, and are criminally overlooked, considering their Leo Fender lineage.

    That's what I've been reading. I also really like the feel of the sound against the body. I guess you don't get that on an eub! Thanks for all the encouragement everyone. I'm now refreshing every marketplace I can find constantly hoping for an affordable jewel to show up. 😁

    I think you’re having what’s termed an ‘active retirement’ , Pete 😆

    Thank you ... 🙂 Double basses are huge fun ... there are very few musical instruments that are as much of an experience for the senses as 'doghouse'. You have so much body contact with your bass that you 'feel' what you are playing in a way you simply don't with bass guitar. With a band - you can rest on your bass between numbers ... or give it a hug ... or if you are of my persuasion a twirl it at opportune moments - or play it at a jaunty 45 degree angle. For Pizz learning good right hand technique will help prevent pain (plucking things like your average Fender Jazz bass will cause blisters and very little usable volume for example). And if it's any more encouragement - my rehearsal and gig transport is an tiny and ancient Rover 25 - my bass travels happily in its soft case - upside down in the passenger seat with its seatbelt on - my amp rig in the boot - and space for one passenger (or one and a midget ☺️) in the back seat.

    Not yet Dave, I'm not out of the woods yet. However I'm hoping I " doge a bullet " this time. I was able to walk to my mail box this afternoon. And yes, I have to be careful. I can't be walking around absent minded and aimlessly, hoping a fan might want to talk to me. Lol Daryl

    I reckon it’s best to start out on a proper acoustic upright if you can. The shape of the body is such a huge part of learning the muscle memory
