    I cannot convince my ears that 1/4" strip of wood makes a significant difference to the overall sound of a fretted electric bass. A fretless maybe? All my electric basses are fretted and have ebony boards, not because i made that choice for to sonic reasons, it's an aesthetic preference. I like the look of maple fretboards too. Not seen any pau ferro fretboards.

    And I guess that I should cut it on the waste side of the bend. If strings are likely to unwrap if cut wrongly, then the right method of cutting should be on the pack somewhere to let in experienced Dunlop string users like me know. I'm putting this down to experience now and thanks for the advice chums. 🙂

    I recently bought a couple of new sets of these strings from the Dunlop stand at the guitar show in Solihull earlier this year. Anyway i was replacing an older set. My normal procedure is to just lay the string so it is about an inch or so past the next tuner along then cut it. This is usually enough to get a tight wrap each tuning peg after poking the end down the tuner hole. However this time i cut the string and all was ok till the tension started to increase for tunning and the string started to unravel. so now i have a three string set. I contacted Dunlop but have not had a response back from them. Anyone else had this issue or can telll me what i am doing wrong. I have always used this method and my other basses that all have d'addario pro steels and never had this issue.This is the second time it's happened with dunlop strings.

    what is the difference between this one and the latest version, as i am looking for a guitar cab.

    Well let's start with anything played by the great famiily Barrett, he was my first bass hero. Whilst I have played the odd Bob Marley & the Wailers song with various bands. In a few weeks time i'm about to do a dep gig with a Bob Marley Tribute band which will be my first gig where the whole set is covering his music. I'm really gonna be happy at the end of that gig. 🙂😁 Other than that Stanley Clarke & Marcus Miller tracks that are within my dexterity. A couple of weeks ago i decided to learn Josie by Steely Dan that was great fun and once i'd got the hang of it I found a you tube no bass track of that song so I could play along. At some point I will try to download the track and record my bass over it to hear what it sounds like. Actually most of the bass tracks I have learnt make me really happy playing, more so if in a gigging context.

    In my youth, I had the guitar model with the clockwork concubine and the tube emulation pedal. The bass player had the bass version and our singer had a PA version. I loved the amp it made for really crisp funk and reggae chops.

    I too would love to see him doing a full acoustic set like the tour he did with Chick Corea, lenny white, joe henderson and freddie hubbard just after their Griffith Park Collection album back in the 80's. The dvd of that concert is astounding.

    I am reporting myself to the admin team for taking my post of point. 🤪🤨🧐

    Maybe he should branch out into shoes for bass players. Built in metronome and tuner & sub so you can feel the bass.

    I use ACS 17db for when playing gigs and have another set with 20db filters that i use when attending gigs that are loud. I highly rate them.

    I Spent part of yesterday afternoom watching SC live in concert. Incredible gig.

    I went to see the concert last night. The band were so young and incredible musicians, and Stanley of course is a legend and performed superbly. i was fortunate to meet them at their hotel after the gig. Mainly because Stanley's road manager had a couple of his own cd's for me to play on my radio programme. Anyway i got to have a chat with Stanley and he introduced me to his wife. I asked him if there was a reason he didn't play his alembics and he said it was because of the acoustics. It a depends on the venue since many of the theatre venues they play, an electric bass is too boomy in the room, so in those places he would use the acoustic for the gig. To be honest i really love his db playing as much as his electric playing so it didn't affect my enjoyment.

    The bass I dreamed about playing was also an alembic and now I consider myself extremely fortunate to own such a bass and, it surpassed everything i expected from it. I know they are not the sound that everyone likes but for me it's a dream bass fulfilled. I hope you get to try one out one day. I have to say getting your head round using low pass filters does take some getting used to. All the best.

    Same here, i was looking forward to it but i had a gig in North Devon. Maybe next time.

    Yes I am looking for a home solution for my EUB, i'm also looking for a sturdy stand for holding the bass on gigs as mine does not have a wide enough body to lay on it's side or use one of the stands that hold the bass on it's side. I have a tall stand which I have to pray it does not get knocked.

    I'm also interested in a One10 cab but wondering about the difference between that one and a One10T cab. My Big twin has a tweeter in and I like that crispness in the sound. It is unlikely a One10 will be for gigging, mainly for home practice and small band rehearsal sessions. I don't have much experience with cabs that do not have a tweeter, with two on sale on the site and i am wondering whether I would find the top end lacking if I bought one.

    Yes it is a product. Listed on a German site https://kontrabass-atelier.de/zubehoer_e.html#wallmount

    I am looking for a wall mount for my EUB and wondered if anyone has used one of these?
  21. jazzyvee
    BUMP This is a superb bass and in great condition.
  22. jazzyvee
    I think i have labella black nylon tape wounds. I can't say am enthused with the sound but they are better than the clattery bronze ones that were on the bass when i bought it.

    Thanks, i think i am on the verge of geek level. I hate the thought of selling this but it needs a bass player that will play it more than i have the opportunities to. Guess i could always embed it in clear epoxy and make a real coffee table from it. If no-one buys it. 🤨🤔

    On one of my luggage scales it is 12lb and the other it is 13lb. Most 5 string through necks are quite heavy. My gigs are usually about an hour and i don't have any issues with the weight and a good wide padded strap.

    Most of my use of mine is for practice. I take it on gigs where a backline is provided and send Di to PA and jack output to power amp input or the return jack on the provided bass amp. Superb unit.
