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?

I'm sure this has been asked before, but...
marvin spangles replied to Burns-bass's topic in EUB and Double Bass
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. -
Thinking of up-grading my amp-----
marvin spangles replied to gypsyjazzer's topic in EUB and Double Bass
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.
