    hi yes the dominants are still for sale and they are in good condition. The G is hardly used as I was using only the EA and D with a gut on top. Trying to send you pics but not sure if it's working . let me know if you can see them. If not I can email you pics direct. best p So sorry for not getting back to you . These are slightly lower inIMG_5560.HEICIMG_5560.HEICIMG_5560.HEICIMG_5560.HEICIMG_5560.HEICIMG_5557 2.HEIC tension but they are really best suited for bowing . One of the easiest strings to bow and produce a sweet warm tone. . Some people like their warm pizz but they wouldn't be as good as Spiro.

    Spiro Weich are excellent on many basses for arco and pizz . Don't know about slap. Anyone?
  22. marvin spangles
    Stick to the DB. Aside from a mute you could dampen the bass considerably by putting a wrapped towel between the tailpiece and the bass. As for the baby . I remember as a student taking my first born to Orchestra rehearsal . She slept through the rehearsals. Choose good music to rehearse and maybe you'll get the double whammy of improving technique and subliminally "jazz washing" your baby.

    Like Happy Jack says it depends what you want it for . Separate head and cab allows for a more adaptable rig . A quality head can be paired with a lightweight cap for DB and a bigger cab where more grunt is needed e.g. on an electric bass gig. EA and Acoustic image amps are excellent pieces of kit and worth the investment . As are crazy 8 and the Ten . I'm sure there are other options available too. . Re cost . I like to be on a gig and not be thinking my gear is letting me down . When I'm playing the last thing on my mind is gear.

    " Plain gut has a very weak sound (much less volume than wrapped ones). " Hi comrade Not sure what gut strings you base this comment on . In my experience the opposite is true. Quality gut strings are louder than all the strings I have ever used on my bass. I use Gamuts Lyon G pistol d And wrapped A and E. Maybe others have a different experience? I should add that I'm lucky enough to have two basses . Jazz bass strung with guts . Classical bass with Spiro Weichs.
