[Billie'sBouncer]

Thats sick man, my new one is supposed to arrive in like 3-4 days ill post pics of mine when it gets here. :) Have fun with it :thumb:

[Dyslexic Magician]

After I get more into bass playing i'm sure as hell getting an upright.

[White_Summer]

if you dont mind me asking how much did you pay, and is it new or used?(looks new but i have been fooled before)

[tenorbass]

Looks pretty nice man. What kind of bow you got? Are you trying to make String Bass a hobby or something more?

[Shinobi_sniper]

To White: 2700 dollar with the works, bow stand case, ROSIN!

to Tenor: I am hoping to get into maybe the orchestra at school, but just as a learning thing, I really want to play jazz bass.


It's brand new

[Jody LeCompte]

ITs a shame you like it so much, because Im stealing it.

[Billie'sBouncer]

Wanna possibly post some soundclips? :)

[Shinobi_sniper]

Oh yeah, it's a french bow.

I don't really know how I can get recordings ATM, but I might be able to later.

[sixner]

congrats man, looks sharp.

ive been lookin into an upright latly... a guy down the street (my friends brother) is selling his upright for about $2,000... it's real nice, the wood is freaking fantastic... comes with 2 bow's and rosin w/ the cloth sheilding thingy and a gig bag (it's so weird seeing a gigbag for an upright?!) i believe it's 3/4 size...

-sixner

[Shinobi_sniper]

3/4 is standard size. What kind is it? because it might need a full setup on it... which costs lots of money....
I got a gig bag for mine, it's interesting carrying it around because you carry it infront of you.

Rosin is a cool word.

[sixner]

...i saw it, but i cant remember it now. i dont believe it needed set up, he kept in great condition but hasent really played / gigged in a few months now.. just occasionly goes to tidy it up now and then, keep dust off n' such....

i couldn't imagine carrying it in a gig bag? haha...

[Soulfly666]

I hate you? ;)

[Rawb]

Congrats man. :thumb:

make us proud. :D

I was in Orchestra for 3 years and played an upright. It was pretty fun stuff. And yea, there's "gig bags" for uprights, you just grab both the straps on the side and carry it infront of you.

[White_Summer]

in rufus reids book, the essentials i think its called, he shows you how to store and upright on an airplane.... haha... great book to start learning from by the way, upright is so much fun to play, i wish i had more money, i would get one so fast... a used one that is, possibly hungarian made, i have been looking for a very long time

[Alma]

Congrats, nice looking bass.

[Bass Queen]

cute cat

[PainKiller8191]

freaky cat, I'd say
oh yeah nice upright it looks so new! i wanna hear it

[Shinobi_sniper]

I am thinking of a way to record some guff...

and yeah my cat looks nice and demonic in that pic <3

[Jamie]

Oh! Its a cat! I thought it was a bag or something :p

That looks gorgeous :) I'm still to play an upright.. No one has one around here :(

[PaulR]

My school has two, that's one each.

They just live in a cupboard... I'll meet you outside with a van. Gogogogogogogogo!

[SlincoJ]

It looks great man,uprights are a lot of fun to play.

[katana_manatee]

I need to play a good upright one of these days. Only one I ever played was my old schools horrific one. It was grade A crap. Battered to buggery and has an action so high aeroplanes have to change their flightpath when in the vicinity.

Nice buy.

[Son of Magni]

Oh! Its a cat! I thought it was a bag or something :p

That's a cat? I was gonna say the bass doesn't really fit in the gig bag does it?

[Billie'sBouncer]

Heres a cheap way to record, it may not sound the greatest but its is cheap and sounds decent enough.
Make one of these http://home.earthlink.net/~erinys/contactmic.html and tape it to your bridge or puut underneath bridge feet.

Thats also a good way to make an electric drum set from practice pads (with a few more steps)

[PERFECTXDARK]

Im stealing your Bass.....and cat.

[Shinobi_sniper]

or I could be really cheap and put a computer mic near my bass and DL a recording program >.>

[Billie'sBouncer]

Mine just got here !!!!!!!!! :)

[hellonearth07]

damn, i always wanted to play an upright.... wellll now maybe i'll start saving up. Hmmmm, how's the transition from fretted electric to an upright?
