Hi Lewis
It was my bass! The strings were Innovation Silver Slaps. I think they also do a string called Super Silver which has a little more tension but are similar in construction.
Enjoyed your band btw
Cheers

Although I don't personally know Duncan, I've met him a few times and seen him play, as well as hiring a spare bass of his for a show I was involved in a few years back. Excellent musician and he's played on a plethora of Scottish folk albums as well as his own solo stuff. Full time bassist with Treacherous Orchestra, a very popular Scottish folk big band
Thanks everyone for the ideas. I've just remembered that I've got an E-fects Loop-E pedal which I bought years ago and have never used-this might do it. It's got 2 loop channels that have bypass on them, and a central switch marked T with a corresponding input-is this through? Can't find any info on net about it
Thanks Gareth
So would you just put both instruments into the line selector A and B inputs and then the output into the front of the Streamliner, or effects return? I do have another preamp for electric(Tonehammer) so that might work best

I'm playing a theatre show(Beggar's Opera) which requires double bass and electric. To avoid having to buy a twin channel preamp, would this set up work?
Double bass into Headway into return of Streamliner amp, so only using power amp
Electric bass into normal input on Streamliner
DI out to desk from Streamliner
I'll be using a 10" cab for monitoring
I figured I could mute the Headway when using electric. Would there be any problems like no output from the power amp side if the front input is being used already? And also would there be output from the DI for the double bass this way?

Very glad to report that the Duke resides in Orkney now. Thanks to all the well-wishers and especially Artisan for making the trade negotiations a breeze.
Maude-I have a preamp, but would like to try the Fdeck first to see how it compares-will give you a shout back in a few weeks time.
Cheers

Vaughan Williams is the best. I've had the pleasure of playing this piece a couple of times, once with the BT Scottish Ensemble standing beside Clio Gould-no pressure!

Thanks for the reply Geoff. I'm about 50/50 DB and electric, so as long as I got a cab that didn't boom I'd be happy. It doesn't have to be a super-articulate cab. I'll have a look at Aguilar and Berg. Anyone tried the Barefaced Super Midget for upright?
Hi
I've been using my DB into a Headway and then through the Genz Streamliner return into a Genz Focus 112 cab. The sound was very boomy especially around octave G and I couldn't eq it out.
Although the cab's fine with electric, it's a relatively big box and I think it's the problem.
What would people recommend as a cab that's tighter and more suited to acoustic bass?
It would need to handle gigs at medium volume up to 100 people with acoustic guitar, fiddle, moothie and sometimes an electric six string. A little research has brought me to the EA M Line 12, but I'm very happy to listen to suggestions from bassists with more experience than me.
Cheers
Iain
