  1. What EQ Pedal would be suited for Bass & regular 6 string Guitar? Advice welcome.
  2. If you have one--wish to sell--PM me.
  3. Do you have a Ehrlund Contact Mic for sale? If you have send me a PM. Thanks.
  4. Details of German Double Bass: I have owned the bass for approx. 35 years. Excellent playing condition / plays well. Bought from a pro. classical bassist. During that time I have had the following work done on the bass: Quality tuning machine heads fitted / A 'fillet' fitted under the fingerboard to get the correct fingerboard angle / a new adjustable end pin / a new bridge. As you see from the photos the bass has had considerable wear--a few splits (repaired before I bought the bass and the splits have never opened up during my time with the bass). One of the photos taken outside one of the 'f' holes shows cleats used to fix a split in the back--very professionally done. (fitted before my purchase of the bass). A good sounding bass. I have a written valuation done on the bass in 2006--retail value between £4,500 to £5,000. Comes with a quality 'Mooradian' padded case. Sell or exchange (or part exchange) for a quality Archtop / Gypsy guitar / Fretless Bass Guitar--depends on what you have) PM me. (Northumberland area to view the bass or if you want to exchange perhaps we could meet up.)
  5. Bought recently. 1 set of Innovation 'Polychromes'--GDAE. G & D on my bass for approx. 2 weeks. Taken off. Reason?--I found they were a bit stiff for my bass. Pizz & Arco were good. The A & E are new -unused. Check 'Polychromes' for reviews--very much liked. £95 to include postage. PM me.

  9. Looking for a good DB luthier in Northumberland--any suggestions?

  11. I want to try a set of 'Velvet Blues' strings for the DB. Have you a set you wish to sell? If so send me a PM with the condition / age / price. Thank you.
  12. Anybody tried the Ischell and the Ehrlund contact mic's on the double bass or EUB? If so which one did you prefer for tone and volume?
  13. Thanks for the replies. bassace--met Ray Brown. Wow! Bass icon. To my ears anyway today's guys do not have that 'projection' that the likes of Ray Brown, Charlie Mingus, Milt Hinton, Pops Foster had--they had to cut through a band--big bands as well--with no amplification. Like Eddie Lang, early Django,Freddie Green on acoustic guitar. Call me old fashioned------------------------------Time to raise the action---------------
  14. What strings do you think the likes of Charles Mingus / Ray Brown / Milt Hinton used in the 1940's '50's 60's before the advent of D/B pickups?
  15. Anybody tried the cello--tuned to GDAE---for band gigs? Did it work for you? Did you or the guys notice the 'lack of depth' in sound? Did you play acoustic or amplified? Look forward to your answers.
