Members brake Posted October 2, 2007 Members Share Posted October 2, 2007 What will you be using it for? What type of music? Jazz. More than likely some country/gypsy jazz type stuff, as well. I don't play and don't intend to play rockabilly, if that factors into it. I want to sound like Paul Chambers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Onkel Bob Posted October 2, 2007 Members Share Posted October 2, 2007 I don't know what I'm looking for at all. Bassius suggested I got this one: http://shop1.mailordercentral.com/lemurmusic/prodinfo.asp?number=BA109 I didn't, though, because customs and shipping would have killed me...

Moderators Kindness Posted October 2, 2007 Moderators Share Posted October 2, 2007 I don't know what I'm looking for at all. You should rent a double bass and start to learn about it. Don't buy until you know what you are looking for. Seriously. It is not like buying an electric bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lug Posted October 30, 2007 Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 I'd consider one if the cheap bastages would not skip putting the frets on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members slapthefunkyfour Posted October 30, 2007 Members Share Posted October 30, 2007 I played a show opening for Lee Rocker last october and he was using one of those new pup systems. It kicked ass through a vintage SVT and a fridge. I actually got to play his bass right before sound check. I know you will love that new pup. Adjusting the fingerboard and the bridge independently on the footswitch makes everything really nice. I'm sure you will love your new bass even more than I love it already!! It's beautiful!!!

Secondly, that I hate you out of pure green eyed jealousy over having touched the bass of god. Well, it wasn't actually the bass that he personally owned, but it was his sig model that was owned by a local guy who owns knucklehead strings who loaned it to him for the show so he didn't have to fly his in from california. But I did get a very quick and small slapping lesson from god, and he autographed the bass in my avatar. edit:I forgot I changed my avatar. It was the bass in my last avatar. So, you can still be jealous if you want, cause I'm still jealous of you and your bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played Calgary at a little club here in town and I was a monitor away from him through the whole set. I learned many things from him that show too. He had his sparkle king there and I resisted the urge to run off with it. haha. We chatted a bit after the show, but I was too gaga to say anything cool.
