Pair of Semi Hollow 4 strings - Fretted and Fretless
sblueplanet replied to Jabba_the_gut's topic in Build Diaries
A thing of beauty. Is that hole in the headstock for wall-hanging, a fifth string or just a poor shot? 🤔😄 -

Double bass - Listening Recomendations
sblueplanet replied to Gardenerben's topic in EUB and Double Bass
Buena Vista Social Club for example or tuning into traditional south american radio stations is a real treat sonically to the ears that like the earthy honest tones of an upright as a beautiful accompaniment. -

Is plastic wood still a thing? Remember repairing an electric bass headstock chip with a tube of that back in the day.

Here is a photo of the string silks if this helps identify the existing strings. Any recommendations for replacements are also welcome. -
Hey there, I just picked up a 2nd hand 1/2 size double bass by Antoni, made in China. Got it for £150 so was worth a punt I thought. So, are there knowledgeable buffs out there who can advise on getting the best out of this instrument? I’ve cleaned it up, slackened the strings, adjusted the bridge and tuned it to concert but that’s it so far. Strings seem dead, is that normal, or is it that a bass of this level is never going to have great sounding strings put on it in the factory? Feel the E string is lacking clarity, very muddy compared to other strings. I’ve only ever played/ recorded on DB a few times in my life with borrowed instruments but never owned one to practice with. All advise appreciated as to what to do to improve the DB experience 🙂

My first lefty bass after years playing righties upside down was a Yamaha BB300. It was later stolen. I also play with bass strung for a righty so not much trouble for me to just flip any bass I want to try instore.
