So, I just got back from seeing a friend of mine perform (plays the bass) with a pianist. They played pieces by Giovanni Bottesini and i couldn't get enough. Anybody know of any other great pieces that focus on the double bass?

That's what she said! Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I've been watching too much of The Office. Quote: Originally Posted by gorgak There is only one that I know of. Check out Galactic They're more of a 'jazz funk' sound from New Orleans. I do love the MMW though...

Just saw them this past tuesday here in new orleans! They put on a great show.

I just saw the Kronos Quartet and i loved it. It was just an amazing performance. They played a little bit of everything: some Sigur Ros, Thelonious Monk, and Steve Reich are the ones I remember and could readily identify. For the Sigur Ros portion they even broke out a huge pipe organ. The...

I was bored this weekend so I decided to make a stand out of some wood that I had lying around. I'm no carpenter so be gentle haha. I apologize for the crappy pictures. I took these with a really old digital with a non-functioning screen and no viewfinder. I couldn't mess with any of the...

I think the bithead would be a pretty good choice. For the price, it does a really great job. Plus, it's a good way to upgrade from your computer's on-board sound and get an amp in one shot. Do a little searching around, and you will find that the bithead is far from your only choice though...

nah

I was in Victoria this summer and remember seeing a little vinyl shop that had some cans in the front window. It didn't look like they had a ton in the way of headphones, but they did have some. They had some great vinyl in there though, if that interests you. I couldn't give you an address or...

I want a free recable!

hrmmm... I have a pair and I haven't had any of those issues, besides a little pressure. Pressure in your ears is just sort of the nature of the IEM beast, though. The only explanation I could offer for the other problems is that the 5 pros are known to have a pretty colored sound, which if...
