Aarons wiring is wrong BTW not sure if he's changed it yet, the first one i got never worked cos his wiring diagram was wrong, he eventually realised and we got it working, when i ordered a second one i insisted he wire it and make sure it worked, pup turned up wired wrong come back Kent!!!! SO, if you order one gimme a call and i'll tell you how to wire it nobody wanted my Kay, overpriced apparently, really glad it didn't sell :wub: theres an almost identical one here, M-1, Diamond Burst, late 60's [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Kay-3-4-Acoustic-Bass-Originally-owned-Henry-Ford-Fa-/170546719979?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27b5606ceb"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Kay-3-4-Acoustic-Bas...=item27b5606ceb[/url]

[url="http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/"]http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/[/url] speak to Aaron Armstrong, he's not usually there until 2pm or so, he keeps US time with his Dad Kent these days

Kent Armstrong do these for £70...

some not so good opinions here.... [url="http://www.doublebasschat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10127"]http://www.doublebasschat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10127[/url]

looks like a Precision pup here... [attachment=60272:ian_jennings.jpg] Ian Jennings, he gets a great sound what mag pup do you use Bob?

my experience is that practically everyone that complains about not being able to hear a Double Bass is used to playing in Rock bands, particularly Drummers, they're just used to hearing a BG, Jazz/Folk muso's generally dont like loud Bass cos they're used to hearing an Upright Upright will NEVER compete with a BG for volume, its an expensive time consuming waste of time trying the Band either turn down or you play BG, so many bands just want the aesthetic coolness of an Upright, some even insist on it and still let the Piano player use an electric Magnetic Upright pickup is probably the best compromise

EUB/Upright bash would be great

that looks like it might work they do a single in/out jobby for around £50, thx crez

anyone managed to cure this? "directional magnetic pulsing" which can be caused by the transformers in amplifiers. apparently there isn't much that can be done about this apart from making sure that you are using a good lead and ideally keep your distance from the amp only way i can stop it is to have the bass in a very specific position, sort of side on to the amp

how about these for trade... [url="http://www.presto-strings.com/doublebass.html"]http://www.presto-strings.com/doublebass.html[/url] done around 10 gigs plus some practice

buy this Chris... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=103721"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=103721[/url] problem solved

go on!!! i can do you a set of strings for £50

Schatten RB-1 - cost around £80, real simple fit, VERY loud and very feedback resistant

some good tips here.. [url="http://www.doublebasschat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9859"]http://www.doublebasschat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9859[/url] basically warm up before, LOTS of water, stay off the booze

i've always thought screened cable was for instruments only, but this stuff is VERY thick AND it says speaker cable, so should be good, if everything goes up in smoke i'll report back thx BOD2
