  1. Thanks. Did you try the other tracks on the band’s channel?
  2. The next track in our lockdown EP Do please have a listen.
  3. I’ve been lucky enough to hook up with a new band, Breathe, during lockdown. It’s given me a chance to get my Stingray 5HH out for this track. Each musician recorded at home and sent in a .wav of their part. Do please have a listen. Track is also on Spotify.
  4. I have one of these in a sunburst finish. IMHO, these are the easiest 5er to migrate to from 4. A wide but flatter neck profile that’s really comfortable and the same string spacing as the 4 I also have. New owner will have a great bass.

    Your Go To Bass

    Absolutely correct interpretation. My original post is aimed at us enjoying the wealth of favourite basses. My Jazz is a good but not expensive instrument.
  7. In these troubled times we need to entertain ourselves with some frivolous chat. So, what’s the bass you pick up and noodle on to practice & write? Here’s mine, a MM Jap jazz with an East implant.
  8. Just purchased an SLB100 from Dan. He also threw in a stand and psu. Easy relaxed purchase, even from Surrey.
  9. I’m using a PJB BG400 and have the extension cab as well. I’ve found the pickup & preamp to be more important though. I’m now on a DG copperhead and a tonebone pz pre.
  10. Our new single on Spotify..... Featuring my double bass !!
  11. Last night I tried passing the DG into my Radial Bassbone (which is on my electric bass peddle board). Instant success. Louder, no distortion and much better presented frequency profile. It’s not often an upright player finally gets to push a sax player through the wall using sound pressure!!!
  12. I use a Broughton HPF set to about 50Hz. I guess I’m seeing high vols well above that setting given the preamp settings I’m adopting.
  13. I’ve just started using a DG copperhead and find the low bass frequencies produced are dramatically higher volume than the upper mids & treble. So my pre amp has the lowest two bands set down at about 25%, where as the rest are flat. Without this I get horrible distortion in the amp. Does this seem familiar?

  15. This might do the trick .... http://www.contrabass.co.uk/2675.htm Or this https://www.musicalchairs.info/sales/10890?ref=22
  16. I use a Headway EDB 2 as a preamp on my double bass, with a TC spectracomp in front of it. The notch filter drastically reduces acoustic feedback, the TC ensures a much more even tone from the bass. About £300 for the pair.
  17. Looks like we are now an artist in our own right on Spotify. 5 tracks to enjoy.... Hope you can have a listen.
  18. Our single from an EP on Spotify. Unfortunately the same name is used by another act, so pictures with Maddy on are ours - others are not.
  19. Liked this, good video. Felt the vocals were a touch over powered by the guitar at times. Great drummer, we have one like that ; )
  20. I’ve been told by a luthier that hires basses out to top orchestras that they come back with pencil marks all over them! I used a tip-ex pen to put dots on.
  21. Prior to getting my upright, I was using a 705srf with black nylon labellas. Using just the piezo it does a very good upright impression.
  22. I can vouch for Malcolm Healey as well. He ‘breathed’ on my cheap laminate and transformed it.
  23. Would trade for a Jaguar or Precision 5er?
