I have not been on here for a while, but I got lucky and bought this bass for $300 about a mile from my house. Has a new and stronger stand.

Here is my rare bass I posted before, 1969 Gibson EB:

Great deal! Can't beat the price, and so close to home! How does it feel and sound?

Plays nice, I also bought a bow for it, but I'm still figuring out how to get the best sound from it.

I'm mostly into metal/ dubstep and other edgier stuff, here is the bass + overdrive + synth pedals:

Hey Matt, I've never really used a pre-amp before, what does it do, boost the sound? Cuz I can't even hear it when I bow it.

Yeah that thing has passive piezos. I used to own one. Just grab a Fishman outboard preamp or something similar. I use a Fishman BII with my Shen upright. You'll be able to control volume & EQ before it hits your amp, I guess not unlike having active electronics in a bass.

Check out the other preamps as well, the BII is pretty simple. There are others that will give you more EQ options, but so far the BII works great for me.

Oh cool you had one, that's right I think I remember you selling it.

Thanks for the advice. The previous owner also shimmed up the bridge, (they are white, behind the tape measure in this pic):

Do you think they hurt the sound? Jesse offered to make me a taller bridge.

Congrats on the EUB! Do you still have the P/J bass I sold you? I don't see it in the picture and am just curious.
