I just picked one of these up, but it doesn't seem to be working for me. I believe it's because I have nylon strings. Do you have any recommendations on what strings would work well for this equipment and work well with slap?

Salut et merci pour les infos mais à quoi sert les prises "POWER MONO OUT" et "FINGERBOARD OUT" ?
@colinthedead
8 ай бұрын
Power mono out - quand tu insère un câble le system s’active , le signal qui sort va être un mix de slap et pickup du pont. Quand tu insère un deuxième câble dans fingerboard out la signal du click et pont va être séparé dans c’est deux lignes la. C’est cool pour l’enregistrement mais à tout les jours je plug mon wireless dans le power mono

He was impressive on stage. I remember the multiple audio cords coiled together sticking out from his electrified bass. bigger and bader! fyi: Wampas and Les Wampas is the same band. Still around. They started by playing psycho-Billy then switched to punk and a more pop sound lately.

Well, I got the Shadow based on this video and damn! I can now state I totally upgraded my bass! I never expected it to work properly on my electric Stagg bass, but the sound coming from it is equal to that of a regular double bass. I also upgraded my strings from weed whackers to rotosound. Perfect combination! Thanks for the video!

Hej Colin....Can you help me out please. My slap signal disappears while playing. It's if the input is too high and my amp (Genz Benz 1200 + HLF 610) shuts off. I think that this problem originates within the Shadow. What's your opinion?? Thanks!!
