  1. Hi Matthew thanks for sharing this info at such a sad time I’d have gratefully gone for a coffee at the cafe in Highgate woods as we did on numerous occasions. Without Lawrence’s guidance I’d have been pretty useless as a musician and my wit a lot less sharper.🙏🏽🙏🏽
  2. Hi, I’m researching the best way to re create the sound of an upright on my Dean Pace EUB. I’ve tried using a condenser mic which sounds fantastic but feeds back like crazy once the desired volume level is achieved. I don’t want to upgrade the piezos or preamp but have been contemplating trying the “Tone Dexter” preamp.


    I can justify the purchase as it can be used in conjunction with my acoustic upright as well, but before I do this I was wondering if it’s a stupid idea (in relation to the EUB)

     

    ok I’ve said it, let the merriment commence 😃

      I meant to add; getting your playing technique right will be the biggest first step, of course.

      PPS. I recently got myself an EBS Micro Bass pedal, which is also something else you may wish to look into - it offers good tonal control / EQ options

      I wonder if a 3 Sigma upright bass impulse would work for you. Obviously, you'll need an IR loader device.

  3. One other I knew him and went for lessons at his place in Highgate London.He taught many great bassists around that time as well as at his classes at Goldsmiths college. You can jog his memory about the interview we did for making music magazine
  4. Hi Matt Sorry to hear about your dad I’m putting the finished touches to a video interview and ironically was just about to give credit to your Dad who was a massive influence on my playing and later teaching methods. Please email me we’re we can continue this chat. I have some photos that Laurence took of me that might jog his memory look forward to hearing from you [email protected]

  11. Hi yeah I’ve been looking at the rechargeables online.The output from the Dean is very low and required a buffer preamp.In the course of experimentation I also tried adding a condenser mic which was a revelation. It sounds good now and no worries about draining batteries unless I blend in both the piezo and the condenser. might still research that charging cable though can’t hurt can it Thanks for the info 👍🏽
