Thanks Rabbie. Sound advice

I have just started (newbie) playing Double bass in a Bluegrass Band - using an Old 3/4 Bass - the fiddle player suggested that at lot of bluegrass players use 1/2 as they are now bowing and so don't need the size. Never having tried a half size - is there much difference in them in terms of the volume of output from the instrument? cheers Mick

reading around - i wonder if they are these [b] [size=5]La Bella Supernil Double Bass Nylon Filament Core?[/size][/b] [size=5]mick[/size]

I am just starting with Upright and have joined a bluegrass band. I went to a jam last night - and another upright players bass was almost twice as loud as mine and the strings were a lot more flexible and easier to play. The D and G looked different from the E and A strings. The D and G seemed like a nylon wrap and the E and A more of a metal wrap. She wasn't too sure what make they were - but i really want to get hold of a set I have seen the La Bella Supernil Double Bass Nylon Filament strings for sake and wondered if it might be them Any tips please Mick

Turns out they stopped making the unlined MIM jazz a few years ago anyway - so need a change in plans - thanks everyone for the advice

thanks all - i opted to get a new MIM Jazz unlined fretless - the chat helped a lot In terms of upgrading it - a lot of people talk about upgrading the pickups - any news welcome ta Mick

I think new Mexican Jazz is about £575 and an american is roughly twice the price - not having had a chance to do an A-B test - can anyone summarise the difference for me - ta Mick

Cheers all

Apologies in advance - but I am trying to get to grips with fender pricing (if it is possible). I have a fender Mexican jazz which i paid 300 for and a Geddy Lee Jazz which cost me 450 - they are great. I now fancy an unlined fretless. There is one on Ebay but at over twice the price I paid for these two - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Jazz-fretless-bass-guitar-Has-To-Go-Asap-/301374636649?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item462b540269 Am i looking at it the wrong way in trying to take a rational approach to the pricing and market value of a fender? I don't want to overpay and then lose shedloads if I want to change the bass later Be gentle ..... Ta Mick

Any suggestions for a bass battery combo - that has magical combination of small size, low weight and long battery life? Ta Mick

I've seen a few band manage their set lists on iPad app. Any recommendations for apps for live performance Mixk
