Recommend me some modern (or not) music with upright bass
Dazed posted a topic in General Discussion
Not particularly looking at jazz or classical or any other specific style where you often find an upright, but music where you can hear it’s an upright being used. -
Not my most popular post 😄 I thought a few would be using a Kemper by now or maybe it’s overkill ?
-
Also posted in amps and cabs section, so I’ll paste The link here as it’s going to be used for upright too

I play electric and rarely(badly) acoustic upright with piezo, I also use a piezo equipped uke bass. I’m considering joining a band and they are interested in having upright bass arco and pizz. I sold most of my amps and gigging gear years ago and use a PJB Double 4 at home these days. I recently got hold of a passive FRFR Cab. I’m looking at available options for a rig now. Ideally 1 set up to handle all instruments listed above. I had been looking at an ebs Stanley Clarke preamp or something similar to handle upright and electric but would also need an amp and possibly some effects pedals. Now I’m looking into a powered Kemper rack or head as from what I’ve read it should be able handle everything in one box. Any thoughts, issues with this setup or other suggestions ? Thanks

I keep seeing these pop up and am tempted everytime. An ever growing itch -
How can a stick with some old hair be so expensive…. what’s so magical about good ones? I can understand some sound far better than others - with the right player - but there can’t be that much to them?

What a messed up world we are in -
What he said. Perfect for home use. Roughly the size of a shoe box and transparent sounding.

Aw gutted I would’ve had some of them been after some for a while but rarely look on Amazon and when I have they were at the prices you mentioned. -
I barely play double bass. I’ve been asked about playing with a band - their wants list included “ a double bass would be brilliant, occasional bowed parts even better” Seriously sickened reading this thread and the costs 😄 the last time I used a bow was 35 years ago and I don’t imagine it was anything decent being it was whatever the college I was at had it hanging around. Where do you start if you have no idea what you’re looking at?

NBD AGH Viper - a bit Gibson EB3, actually quite a lot Gibson EB3
Dazed replied to ead's topic in Bass Guitars
Looks good that. Like the slight offset look of it and that lovely rosewood. -
Warwick Starbass is another option

Do you not need to use a (I forget the term) carnet-something-or-other now when travelling abroad with instruments? Ive considered several swaps in Europe but it just seems too much hassle/red tape/extra costs now. Thanks Nigel!
