Precariously placed double bass. Was a good gig at a great Bristol pub. Brings my total weeks gig earnings to £500. Feel like a pro!

Would have asked for a raise probably…

To be fair, they were all built to be used and rapidly repaired not fetishised over!

Im with you Stu.

1978 Gibson Ripper - Last drop – On Hold - *SOLD*

Yeah, I can see that. I should say, I want this to play semi-acoustic gigs (including outdoor gigs) with a quiet drummer. For bigger gigs, I'll take the full tried and tested concert set-up. This won't be used to keep up with a loud, stick-pounding drummer or electrified guitarist.

This is why I love the forum! Thanks for this, I will order one alongside the Bose.

Good point. I use the EBS Stanley Clarke which has a good HPF in it. I'm using a magnetic pickup too, so the risk is lower. I was going to ask if there was a good battery-powered pre-amp with an in-built HPF. Any ideas?
-
Yes, I get that. It's going to be the Bose as I can also do BVs through it as well. Just in the process of selling some stuff and once done, will invest and provide a full report. The amp will get used a lot as I'm gigging 5-10 times a month on DB now. Still can't decide between the older Pro and the newer Pro+. Any thoughts?

The battery is removable and replaceable, but you should be able to use it for thousands of charges. You can get a sub as well, but probably not needed.

This is a classic book for anyone who wants to learn how to play jazz and improvise over chord charts. It's a logical and intuitive book which is split into one or two page exercises, so it never becomes overwhelming. I found it highly useful and yes, even fun. Yours for £20 delivered. (This is an image I pinched from eBay. Mine has white binding and is in better condition, but I'm lazy and haven't taken a photo of it.)

The king of cakes!

I imagine they sound like underpowered PA cabs that weigh about 50kg each. My point was that there's very little here that can be dated to the 60s, apart from a couple of speakers and some wood. There's also nothing here that you couldn't recreate better today at a fraction of the price, yet the guy wants £7,000 for them. It's utterly bizarre.

An appreciation of supportive wives, husbands & partners
Burns-bass replied to ossyrocks's topic in General Discussion
Lovely thread. My wife is happy with a house full of gear as long as it doesn’t encroach on the family areas. We’re talking two double basses, amps, guitars, basses, acoustics and more. This weekend she happily let me go and play three gigs over 3 days without any issues (we have two small kids so it can be draining on your own). Lovely to have someone so supportive of what I do. That’s a lovely room, too. -

I agree - up to a point. Yesterday I played 3 sets of live music (maybe 140 minutes). The only way to do this safely and without injury is using an old fashioned arm weight technique and traditional fingering.

https://www.talkbass.com/threads/eberhard-weber-question.655765/ “Eberhard´s first EUB was a vastly modified Grazioso Arco resonet, made in Czechoslovakia ca 1960, an "almost look-alike" of the old Framus Triumph EUB. Then he played a bass custom made by German luthier Paul Lijsen. His current EUB is made by Israeli luthier Eyal Vodnizky. It has a semi-hollow body, and is fitted with Wilson pickups. All of Eberhard´s EUBs have a high C string.” I have no way to verify if that’s true but seems authoritative in a typical TB way.

Yeah that’s good to know. Not sure it’s worth the extra fee quid for the + then.
