Subject: Miking an upright bass
Organization: OUC, University of Notre Dame
Distribution: us
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 1992 20:22:23 GMT

I play upright bass in a small jazz combo.  I want to mike my
bass, after I found that doing so in the studio gave me much
better sound than my pickup/amplifier combination.  Does anyone
have any experience with this?  I'll need a rugged but quiet
and inexpensive mike which can handle the low end.

One problem with miking is feedback.  You have to close-mike
the instrument, but you don't get a lot of sound that way,
so you have to turn up the amp.  Also, you don't always have
the choice of where to stand, and the mike might tend to
amplify everybody except the bass, particularly overzealous
drummers.  Advice?  What I _don't_ want to do is to carry
around a lot of signal processing electronics and other
baggage.

	Lately, I have been tuning my E string down to a low D. I'm
looking into buying a Hipshot to make these transitions easier. Does
anyone out there play with one, and, if so, did you install it
yourself?

Someone posted about thirty Rush albums they really liked, then someone
else added to it... Like any good Canadian kid I grew up with Rush all
around and I knew I liked them, but I didn't know I would grow up to be
a bass player (lotta gender stereotyping in my house) so I didn't pay
too much attention.  Now my big brothers and their Rush albums live
thousands of miles away, and I don't have much $$ so I can't just go
buy every cd they ever made.  I have been so impressed with Geddy's
playing on recent singles, and I would like to build up a bit of a
Rush collection but don't really know where to start.  So I'd be
interested in hearing what people's very most favourite albums are
and why.  I know everyone's taste is different.  But if you can pick
out 2 or 3 that you think really stand out, I'd like to hear about them.
Thanks.

anyone ever seen this?

My last bass was a Yamaha BB1600 which I had a Hipshot put on.  I didn't do
the original installation myself, but I did take the thing apart to grease
it.  If you can change strings, you can put on a Hipshot (the one made
specifically for your bass).  From experience though, when putting it on,
grease the string post with some white lithium grease (bicycle grease).  My
Hipshot key tended to drag until I did this which more than alleviated the
problem.

I recently heard a radio conversation with some
guitar building guru.  He spoke of building a
magnificent bass for a guy and experimenting with
wooden frets.  He claimed the wood frets were great
because it eliminated buzz and clicking and also
because they wore down slower than their metal counterparts.

No, I don`t remember the guys name.
No, I don`t know what kind of wood the frets were
made of.

Yes, I`m ashamed I can`t provide anymore info, but
maybe one of my fellow bassists can throw an
opinion or an assist?

	Sorry, you can get a box of 6 sets of strings for $72 ($12 per

This sounds like a really cool idea! I too, think it does sound a little
off the deep end, but if it were to really work imagine the sound! It seems
to me that wooden frets would help produce more of that "natural" acoustic
sound (like a fretless does, if you want to call it that...but you all know
what I mean anyway)...

Hi,

I checked the 'ftp.nevada.edu' directories to get 

	Rock'n Roll You Gave Me All The Best Years Of My Live

but couldn't find it in the INDEX or anywhere else.

I actually don't know who wrote it or who performed it, may be Kenny Rogers?


Anyway, if there is a chance to get the words and perhaps the chords of it
by e-mail or on the net, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Besides, I miss many well known Country & Western songs on the ftp-site. 
Is the interest for the songs of Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash,
Kenny Rogers, Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams, etc. etc. really that low ?
I can't believe...

Well, I'll enter some of the songs that I've got at home and push it into this
newsgroup.

included were: Sting, Big Country, Phil Collins, George Michael.  The

Everything Chris wrote is correct.  But it's much easier to get away with
playing an extra lower string if it's a _fifth_ in the chord than if it's a
third.  You can strum all six strings on an A chord, or you can strum five
strings on a D chord, and it sounds fine.  But strumming all six on a C
chord sounds a little goofy (don't ask me why, I just know that it does),
because that low E is a third and not a fifth.  If you want to play a good,
solid six-string C chord, play 332010.  Otherwise it's probably a good idea
to muffle the E string with your thumb.

The subject says it all...  Someone mentioned in a post today that this
newsgroup will cease to exist and will be replaced by rec.music.makers.-
guitar.tab or something like that.  When is this going to happen, and
just out of curiosity, why?
