Mr Bassman

Another splendid day out meeting up with fellow uprighters, glad I made the trip.

Big thanks to Roger Bassace & Owen

Might have an old set go obligatos to for you to try Neil

Just got back from the DB bash so I'll have a look later

As promised, as I can't attend the bash, a pic or two of my bow holder.

Those of you who are very astute will notice it looks remarkably like a curtain rod holder with the end bent over which you slide over your front pocket so the bow hangs to your side.

Great idea

Standard realist.

Mine's got a Full Circle so I might stick it in the car so we can compare them

I'm bringing my Eminence so bring the silent bass or the Clifton?

What pickup is on your Eminence Rev?

Keith, have you still got that gizmo that looks inside the bass body? I may have a bass bar 'issue' in my EUB.

Yes Roger' I'll bring it along

The Yamaha SLB 100 Silent Bass was designed for this purpose
http://uk.yamaha.com/en/products/musical-instruments/strings/silentbasses/slb-100/?mode=model

Or any EUB into an amp with headphone out. The Yamaha is prob the closest in feel to a real bass and has headphone out.

Looks like I can make it.
Not sure what to bring, anyone interested in Yamaha Silent Bass SLB100, Clifton EUB, Eminence R/N
I'll bring sound post setting tool, some Acoustic Image electrickery, some pickups and the Rob Allen Mouse (as requested)

Ha, don't think I'll bring as many uprights as last time, 3 db's & 2 eub's

Chris is you can get it to the bash on Sunday I could deliver or have collected around Yorkshire

TEN? Bloody 'ell thought it was 12

Yes, if I can get there I'll bring the Flex Pre and the Clarus SL-R
Won't know for definite until tomorrow but I'm hopeful.
What time does it start?

A friend has lent me an Acoustic Image Flex pre amp

It's an amazing piece of kit, so far I've used it on 2 gigs into the p.a. without a bass amp.

Tonight i'm going to try it as a mixer for female vocals (with reverb) & piano into my Bose L1 Compact and use the Clarus SL-R with cab for my bass.

Will be quality sound & easy carry.

Could sell 1 for £250 and keep the other

Or poss trade for 8" or 10" active cab i.e. QSC Mackie Rcf etc

P.m.'d

Looks like Dave's has an extended adjustable end pin

Have a look at the Faital Pro range, they do some 4ohm 8" drivers.
8PR200's are amazing lightweight speakers but more pricey

Just back from a 4 x 1 hour sets gig, used Eminence & the Mouse plugged into the mini Clarus & a PJB C4L
Couldn't have been happier!

I've freed up some time so might be able to make the bash, if so I'll bring the Clarus & Mouse

Dave Swift is the man to ask, think he had a special end pin made

I love Acoustic Image combos, I'm on my 4th, which is a 2 channel Coda with removable head.

As I play several gigs where I plug direct into P.A. or house bass amp I started taking the Clarus head to use as a pre amp, which means I ca have full control of my sound.

It doesn't weigh much but it's too large to fit in a gig bag so I started looking at alternatives and ordered the Fishman Plat Pro. That didn't sound as good, in fact it was disappointing.

Anyway, to cut a long story short I ordered a Clarus SL-R from Laurence at Acoustic Image U.K.

I love it! It's tiny weeny, weighs next to nothing, has built in reverb etc (great for fretless or EUB), 600 watts but most of all sounds amazing.

I've used it just as a pre-amp with my Eminence upright (Fishman Full Circle) & Rob Allen Mouse and have been very pleased with the results.

Link to my Epifani UL110's for sale

These are nice with uprights and can enhance the sound of solid body EUB's

Trade options

Ibanez SR1206 or similar

Nice fretless

Acoustic Image Flex Pre-amp

How about a Headway strapped to the tailpiece?

I've got 3 EUB's which you're welcome to have a look at.

Yamaha SLB100, Clifton (made in Britain) and an Eminence. I'm using the Eminence mostly so could be persuaded to part with one of the others, if not both.

The Yammy & Clifton are similar in that the have a solid body with removable body parts.

Not sure if I can make it to the bass bash, if I can I'll bring them along again.
