that's the video I saw, but on the Jaguar, the mute sit's away from the body. On a bass it's against the body, therefore the hole would be deeper. Last thing I want to do is either drill through or the spring dig a hole and go through.

Why, when I've already got a great bass and a great workshop...😉

I want to fit a Fender Jaguar guitar mute on a P bass. Does anybody have experience of doing this? There was a detailed video a couple of years ago on YT but I can't find it now. Does anybody know how deep the hole for the spring and plunger need to be? Everything else I'd fine with.

I've just found this thread. I have, and won't sell, EA iAmp800, VL210 I've had and regret selling VL110, and a VL208 I've had and don't miss 2 x Wizzy 12" M line. They were good but not in the same ball park as the VL range. On Instagram, 10 weeks ago, there were a pair of VL208s for sale in the States.

It was a phone video. The WAV is, I think, a piezo pick up, so will pick up vibration, as opposed to magnetic signal.

Hi, Am I missing something here? I've just listened to an NS WAV with gut-a-like on it, and it sounded far more realistic than pretty much any WAV I've listened to. But would they work on a CR4M? Wouldn't there be an issue with the magnetic pick ups not picking up none metallic strings?

Hi, Total newbie to Double bass, although I did 2 years at school, eons ago, with very little progress or practice!🤔 Part of what I do is a duo with my wife on piano and vocals. Rather than a EUB I was thinking of a shorter scale double bass. But what about gut strings? Until a month ago I hadn't realised they were a realistic option. I've seen these on eBay and their website. Does anyone have any experience of them? Price seems good. https://ngstring.com/products/bass-guitar-strings

I've found that was made by Serdal Dağ in Istanbul! https://www.facebook.com/serdal.dag.5

This is the bass

Brilliant, thanks. I'd been in touch with Turkish Bass player, Amad Hani and he' already mentioned that maker a year or so ago.

Thanks, But that's not it. ML was playaing a fully acoustic with a mic in the tone hole.

So, on Tuesday evening I went to watch Bill Laurance and Michael League play their duo gig. Totally amazinng! Michael's bass, a 4 string fretless acoustic, blew my mind. It looks to be totally acoustic with a small goose neck mic velcroed on and placed right in the sound hole on the lower bout. I've been looking on t'internet since to try and find what it is annd what mic he uses. But can't find anything about it. Any ideas what it is? The sound is so close to a good upright, but with the slightest hint of trad fretless.
