    Might be as well to drop him a PM (assuming that sends an email to his computer) as he hasn't been on BassChat for over three months

    [quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1375168038' post='2157362'] Crikey, just checked out the AER Basscube, they're not cheap are they [/quote] Well he can probably afford it since he only paid a tenner for 'Victoria', his 1800s Gand double bass, about sixty years ago!

    OK Peter, I hear you, many thanks for your advice. To be honest, it echoes what others have said on TalkBass so I think I will indeed stick with a mixed Spiro/Oliv set. It has settled down nicely over the past week and I am really enjoying it

    Hi Rabbie, I did have Spiros on the bass (and in fact the E/A are still on it) but I was beguiled by all the talk on TalkBass about how the Oliv G is the ultimate G ... and along came a friendly neighbourhood BassChatter selling a G and a D for decent price. I very much like them altough i suspect I will be much less keen on the Oliv E (especially) and A. Still why not give them atry, if someone is selling for a reasonable price? As it happens I don't think I will get an offer here so I will almost certainly stick with a mixed Spiro/Oliv set

    argh, yet again I am away. Keep the London gigs coming and i will be there when I am not either gigging or off abroad on biz/hol

    I could potentially do a 15/20-ish minute workshop on "Practical considerations when moving to double bass, gear needs and solving on-stage difficulties" or such like? Would this be of interest? I warn I am still basically rubbish and a blagger at DB but I have done a fair amount of gigging and know the practical issues, so this may be of value to some considering taking the plunge

    Hi there, I had it paired with an Epifani UL112 for gigs or a Crazy8 (custom 1x8) cab for rehearsals and very small gigs. No reason why it couldn't be paired with any quality cab though.

    Wow, that guy can play and what a collection. Although I don't like the look particularly the Adamovic was the stand-out soundwise for me and the Toby Chennell Arco acoustic bass the most GAS-inducing

    Sounds great, wish I could have been there. Predictably, Mrs C had "thing's planned" last night. Keep us in touch with your next few London gigs, Lozz, and I will endeavour to make the next one

    I recently picked up Oliv D and G strings from Laurence (Blackadder) and am really enjoying their fabulously tactile feel and the G in particular sings beautifully. I have paired them with Spiro Mittel E/A and this does work pretty well, although there is a distinct tonal change between them. I have read up plenty on Oliv E and A strings about how they are dull and thuddy but would nonetheless like to give them a go. So if anyone has a good condition spare Oliv E and A (without unwinding issues or breaks) please drop me a PM.

    Saturday bump with reminder that near offers will be considered

    Glad HJB is back, Keith!

    Bought some Oliv strings off Laurence. All good, very happy. Cheers mate!

    I'm not rising to the bait, Keith And Beedster, it was better than bothering sheep

    Fantastic gig tonight. Danny still has all the chops. He was playing Victoria, his famous double bass and 'other half'. For the gear-stalkers among us (OK me), he appeared to be going direct into PA using an Underwood pickup (I think, it had two wings) and presumably a preamp I couldn't see. Victoria was strung with his signature strings from A to G but I noticed he had a Spiro Mittel 'E' (red silks at each end).
  18. Clarky
    Break a leg Keith! Metaphorically of course ... But not a string :5

    [quote name='thunderbird13' timestamp='1374764201' post='2152927'] Sorry cant make it , minor emergency at home [/quote] Thats a shame, hope home front OK. Oh and PTB apologies for typing fast in an earlier post and calling you Pete! Of course its Paul (The Bassist)
  20. Clarky
    near offers considered
  21. Clarky
    See you there! I will be attending along with my band's mandolin player and I think Thunderbird13 (Al) is also coming along. I have a heavy day at work so will probably not get there until 8.30pm

    Been a couple of weeks type bump - £375 posted UK, £365 collected, £390 posted mainland Europe

    I have always assumed its because laminated wood is less resonant than carved wood. Feedback is all about turning the body of the bass into a giant vibrating microphone and the less it vibrates the less the feedback
  24. Clarky
    also PM'd regarding good condition D and one G
  25. Clarky
    Only just spotted this Lozz. If I can make it, I will. Only thing is Mrs C may have something already planned for the evening. Will let you know
