Hi guys,
So I've been playing Double Bass now since Happyjack forced one into my grubby mitts a few years ago. I did my first studio session on it yesterday (paid and everything) so it's feeling like I need to give it more care and attention (especially since I'm doing 30+ gigs a year on it).
Basically I've been avoiding buying anything for it, I have a Shadow pickup crudely fitted to the bridge, not sure it's even working correctly, I've been running this into my iPad rig for over a year and it's .... meh..... passable
So I was wondering, since quite a few of you know me and this is all Happyjack's fault anyway, is would anyone be willing to lend me a double bass preamp? I'll happily pay postage costs etc.
...and yes I know I should have come to the Bass Bass in Derby and I could have tried out everything but this is the problem I have, I play double bass and I don't drive.
I just don't know if I should get a new pickup, preamp, mic, mic clamp, db amp (it sounds awful into my Ampeg b100r) but I'm constantly trying to keep it as minimal as possible.
So there it is, I fall on your good graces
