Heriba Bass String winder. We use these string winders here all the time. They wear very well and will hold up for years of use. After using one of these, you'll never put bass strings on without one again!
Choices Products microphone holder. Here's a nice product that holds a microphone at the bass' tailpiece (drops into the hole) and comes in 3 wood choices: Poplar, Maple and Walnut. (Maple is shown here.)

Soft latex rubber tubes for French Bass bows. Read more about bass bow rubber tubes here. Comes two in a package. Black color, thin rubber.
Sure Stop. This is a good, cheap, rubber endpin stopper. Otherwise known as a ' rock stop '. It keeps your bass from sliding and will keep from putting holes or marks in the floor with your sharp endpin.
Wolf Endpin Ball. A popular endpin ball (stopper) that attaches to the bottom tip of your endpin.
Click on photo for close up of how it attaches and works.
Threaded Endpin Ball. Here's a new rubber endpin ball, similar to the one above. This one a tad easier to put on and use than the Wolf (above) as it simply screws on the same endpin threading as the old, rubber crutch tip did. For 10mmendpins which fit most all German and Chinese endpins.

The Black Hole. This is cool end pin stopper. It is obviously more money than the Sure Stop (shown just just above), but is smaller and works better. It's made out of a special kind of rubber (Dycem) that lasts longer and grips unbelievably well.
Xeros Bass Endpin Anchor attaches to chair or stool leg (fully adjustable length).
Gewa Bass "Dampit" Humidifier
These are copies of the old "Dampits" and are made by Gewa (Germany). They are slightly smaller, more narrower and hold less water/moisture.
See the page we have that explains what these are and how to use them.
Dampit Bass Humidifier
The old (better) version of the bass Dampit is finally back! These are more money than the Gewa, but (in our opinion), they do a far better job. Just more water to evaporate, makes a difference to the bass.
Kolsteins cleaner and polish kit. Kolsteins polish is still one of our favorites here. It has a dependable quality and most bass varnishes (really "like" this stuff.) The cleaner is strong and should be used sparingly
Pirastro String Oil. This oil is for gut strings (not metal) and used to keep the string from drying out and/or premature wear.
Mighty Bright Duet Stand light. The new duet stand light gives a lot of light with the 2 adjustable 'goose neck' type stems. These clip on the music stand (or where ever you want to clip it) and can be great in dark rooms where you need to read music or chord changes. Takes only 3 AAA batteries. (inlcuded). The light in nice and small and easily fits into our Tuff-Bag cover's rosin pocket.
The Mighty Bright Orchestra Light. This a nice, new stand light. It can be plugged directly into an outlet (comes with adaptor) or runs on 3 AAA batteries. This is one bright light! In fact, we've noticed that orchestra musicians that do lots of pit work are buying these lights because they are usually brighter (more white than yellow light) than a typical stand light they have to use. It has 9 LEDS of brightness and two brightness levels. It also has a good, adjustable goose neck, and comes with a nice carrying case. If you do pit work, or have to play in dark conditions a lot, this is a good light to have in that you can take it with you and be confident that where ever you go, you'll have the right light and don't have to worry about plugging it in.
Wolf Eliminator
(click photo for larger image)
This is
a wolf note (suppressor) or as is comely called
Eliminator. They don't really eliminate a wolf as much
as they change
the fregquency
response and balance. Read more about bass wolf notes.
We offer in 5 weights:
16, 18, 20, 22, 24 (often at the SE workshop, we use a
20 or 22 gram). The weight can be turned around (so as
not to show the slit.) These tend to work better than
the knobbed adjuster style and are far more attractive
looking.
