Hello Folks, I'm owner of an acoustic db, I'm interessted by an EUB ( not too exepensive) for some gigs and venues ( easiest to "manage", transport, amplification etc etc ) . I'm ok with the fact " that It will never sounds like a acoustic). I like the triumph concept,I'm considering also the...

So I finally took the plunge and went all out for a cheap upright! not an EUB but a proper acoustic monster. Its a cheap Chinese one, but I got it at bargain second hand and its got a decent set of strings and has been set up properly a while back. Its a Hofner with a solid top and laminate back...

Playing the upright bass! (string swing content!) End of Aigust/September this year i started playing the upright bass, because two guitarists in my class who already had a string swing-duo needed someone to play bass. I've wanted to play upright for ages, and there was my chance. I told my...

Ok, so my band teacher (who i'm renting my U.R.B. from) decided that she was not going to lend it out again next year, so that her student can play it. I have no money, and even if I did my parents would not allow me to buy one even a cheap electric version. So, my only option is...

Ok so I am performing the song Perdido-Duke Ellington Our band is taking the song very quickly 300 BPM at a minimum, no joke Theres my solo, i'd appreciate any suggestions, but there is not a lot of room for experimentation. Because the band director just told me to play the bass line an...

I got a call from my old band teacher today, and she said that she would give me GIVE ME her upright bass. The only catch is that I have to do a performance for her, tomorrow, but it is well worth it. javascript:emoticon(':D')

Hey when I turn up the acoustic pick up I get a strange punch sound. And if you tap the pickup it blasts the sound. Like you were virtually hitting or punching the pickup. It worries me. Also, when playing through an amp, I can get barely any volume even with the electric pickup on. Any...

Last night I've been to a concert of a famous italian band, the bassist opened the soirée with a Warwick Triumph in blue color. Nice. The same day I've ordered from the States my brand new NS Design CR4-M upright in amber finish. Stunning. Time to stand up, folks. 8)

In our previous articles, we have covered some of the basics of recording an electric bass guitar. This time we will cover the standard procedures used by most to record an upright bass, wether played with a bow or finger style. The upright bass has been for many years a standard in many...

I was just wondering if any of you guys and girls play electric upright? I have just bought myself a Dean Pace EUB to see if i like it, and so far i'm really enjoying it. Any one got any suggestions of songs to listen too or practice exercises. I took it rehursal with my metal band the other...

Has anybody ever seen/heard what happens when your amplified doghouse upright bass starts feeding back and you don't stop it from feeding? Does it blow the amp? Or does it blow up the bass? Or nothing? It seems like the feedback would cause something major to go wrong? Can I learn from...

I've been looking at maybe purchasing the Triumph upright....however, these kinds of instruments are rare to find in any storefront setup. I don't expect to find one easily, without ordering direct. I don't want to do this without getting my hands on one, or at the VERY least HEARING one...
