I found the clamp just as interesting... If you played upright you'd understand

Maybe to hold on the Piezo pickup? That's what it kinda looks like as its in a weird place that doesn't seem like a repair point. If it was supposed to be holding that bridge together I dun think that the bridge would have been strong enough at all to keep the stings tensioned.

Btw, you play upright man?

[Mudfuzz]

Now and then yes. I pretty much only haul it out for recording work... lets see...
here she is

Actually, I do understand (I think)...that was a feeble attempt at humor. And I'd like to try an upright sometime,even tho I understand that electric skills don't actually transfer over too well.

[Mudfuzz]

I know... I just had to flex my old TBDB snark at your joke As to the second part of your post, some stuff does cross over and they are not as hard as you think to play. Just look up a vids on proper hand positioning so you don't hurt yourself. And if you don't need it to be really loud you can get the string hight down pretty low and use light strings.

Wow, she's a beauty! Mine's 100+ years old and therefore a beat up old bitch, but she sounds really nice, especially arco. Not quite bright enough for pizz stuff though.

that's all show I did that finish, and carved that fingerboard and tail piece, it started out as a orange ply bass of which I got two different stories on where it actually came from. Soundwise... it tramps any old Kay I have played and it's loud... You bass sounds neet got a pict?

This is the only one I have right now:


Its pretty scratched up all around, and some of the sides are coming up. But for a fully carved german from 1910, its not too bad. The teacher that I bought it from told me it survived the bootlegging era in California while being used as a jazz bass for the speakeasies. It should hold till I get my music ed degree though, and then I'll either have it restored, or do what my teacher did and hand it down to another learning student. Still want to put a pickup on it so I can run it though some effects though lol.

[theavondon]

Are you guys talking about those basses with the more than four strings? I don't....like...those...much...

I needz teh low B.

I tune to low G.

Also, both of your uprights are delightful looking. Mine's just some CCB, but it's been far too long since I've played. I went from playing at least three hours a day to like...haven't played in nine months. Just transferred all that to bass guitar. I should probably dust the upright off...

nice! I love beat up basses! I guess the restore vs getting a different bass really has to come down to how much you love that basses sound for what you are playing. The pickup I use now is a K&K bass max, it works well and you can pull it on and off really fast, I use it on my "real" bass and my EUB, you just stick the pad in a bridge wing and put the clip on the after lengh and bob's your aunt. I'll tell you arco with delay and verb is soooooo fun

DB's have always been interesting to me. a tad intimidating too.

i find it FASCINATING that you hid the pic of your bass in a NSFW tag.

FASCINATING.
