Hi folks looking for a set of strings that are good for pizz but can slap a bit on, I have the tapewound black innovation rabs which I loved initially, but when I play my other bass with the steels I love the projection, so looking for a halfway house.

The 'Ungentle Art' DVD by Mark Rubin and Kevin Smith is good if you can get it

SOLD

Clarky bought a Shadow DB Pickup paid immediately..... Great guy recommended!

I saw one for sale in Glasgow recently and emailed the person it might still be available it looked quite reasonable

That's a bargain mate go for it...

I've been playing with same drummer on and off for about 20 years and he's very loud and a great player but you know I like it.

Cheers!

+1 for the doubler

My fretless ray started off life as a fretted apparently

In the For sale section. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=101923"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=101923[/url] Shadow SH950 double bass pickup this is brand new, not even out of the box, never got round to fitting it looking for £100 delivered [i]The Shadow SH950 is an improved version of the "Underwood" pickup. In size, appearance and application the two pickups are virtually identical. The system consists of two "lugs" that are simply slotted - or if necessary fitted - in to the "ears" of the bridge. The two lugs are connected by a sturdy coaxial cable which terminates with a black plastic covered standard 6mm (¼ in) in-line jack socket.[/i] [url="http://www.contrabass.co.uk/sh_950_pickup.htm"]http://www.contrabass.co.uk/sh_950_pickup.htm[/url] [attachment=58356:shadow_pick_up_med.jpg] Not the actual box but Identical!

Hi the best rockabilly forum is [url="http://www.doublebasschat.com/forum/"]http://www.doublebasschat.com/forum/ [/url] lots of great stuff there and very knowledgeable friendly people. This guy Memphis Evil has some great vids on youtube.

What exactly do you mean by 'pop attack' I have a bassmax on both my basses and use a doubler but haven't really noticed anything specific but I'll have a wee noodle about and see if I get the same thing.

I've got one of these from around the same period and mine's definitely a solid top and back.[/quote] I have one of these from the sixties and it's deffo fully carved, can you follow the grain on the top to the edge?

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='929232' date='Aug 18 2010, 11:33 PM']Do you fancy writing up a quick how-to? It looks excellent from here, I've got a fairly orange and very cheap bass I would like to have at.[/quote] I'll give it a wee go you can take heart from the fact that I'm the most DIY averse person I know!

Hey Dara It's the doubler and a CX112L so quite a bit heavier than the wizzy I reckon, I think it sounds great with the upright and a electric bass I love it I think oyu really get the sound of the bass, I suppose it might be a bit clean sounding for some folks but I'm digging it.
