This fantastic double bass belonging to a family of good customers has recently been through the workshop to have a David Gage String Instruments "Realist" bass pickup fitted as well as a bit of tweaking the the bridge and pegs.
It now plays perfectly, stays in tune and can be plugged in to amplify those low frequencies.
