    You are correct about the Heritage Acoustic strings. They are lovely. Lots of things I like in this thread.
  2. Owen
    They are tuned to bass pitch. I could happily gig with them. The dark one was my fave.

    I feel your pain.....

    I have a 25+ year old 36" six string waiting to go for a post lockdown refurb. Overwater make a lovely instrument.

    Mr Demeter does hang around on TB now and again. You might find him there. He quoted me in an answer once. I know it is shallow to draw attention to that, but I really don't care. It made my day.

    I have one of those. I will do you a picture tomorrow.

    Yew is what the cool kids are using

    The real answer is to buy one for the right price 2nd hand so that if you ever sell then you can get your money out of it again. I am not joking.

    It has turned out nice. Again.

    Jaco used it too.

    Here are some pics of it. It is PROPER lush. Like, PROPER! Just as well it is not a 5er etc etc etc.

    Those look yummy as well but look like they are not available until he can find a new manufacturer. Not that I will be buying in the near future! But I like to plan ahead

    The corner of the room. I just could not trust a DB, or a cello for that matter (I used to play) to a stand. It is asking for gravity adventures.

    These look lovely. http://www.mjbl.co.uk/double-bass-tuning-machines What other options are there out there?

    I shall not be transitioning from 5 string to 4 string if that is what you mean.

    I blagged it once. I was working with a Jazz monster pianist (and a drummer who would call out the changes to me when I got lost) who called a tune called Oleo. He counted it off at INSANE bpm in the rehearsal. I said that I could not think at that speed, let alone follow a chart. He told me to just play anything and he would cover me. I laughed. He said no, do it. On the gig he played the whole thing "outside" but with clearly discernible melody and solos while I played absolutely abstract walking lines which did not follow any discernible pattern at breakneck speed. I had NO idea what was going on but looked like a Don. Obviously I have blagged it many other times, but that was the best of them all. I still cannot work out what he did.

    I no longer trust myself to comment on bass tone in public. My ears are not what they were. Wear earplugs everyone.
  24. Owen
    Anything with NS on it is quality.

    It is true, absolutely everything does come through BC if you wait long enough! I do not need another bass but I cannot stop myself monitoring here for the interesting stuff, and this IS the interesting stuff.
