  1. Past hour

    It arrived today. It’s the lightest bass I’ve ever played, it's like a toy. It’s got the same Gotoh Resolite tuners as Gary's CST that I played recently and it’s got no neck dive. It's really well-balanced, which I wasn't expecting at all. On the lap, it stays put and on a strap with a shiny textured inernal surface it sits well, so that's all good. Neck carve is standard Euro LX shape. The finish is ultra thin matt, it feels like my oiled Euro5LX to the touch. I know a couple of folk have found this finish to be a bit fragile, so we'll see. This will be gigged. I've been playing it through the HX Stomp with GK800/Ampeg810 rig settings with the DarkGlass Legacy pre-amp dimed and it's exactly what you'd expect. My ebony board peacock one is just 22 lower on the serial numbers indicating that the two were made during the same short period. Another comparison is that the RST resonates differently acoustically to the gloss finished ebony board one and they've both got new EXL170s on. I'm nt going into tonewoods and all that wizardry, I'll just bring a few along to the next Bash and let people see/hear for themselves 😉 The build quality of it is as we've come to expect from the Czech factory, it's absolute top notch all round.

    I’m selling 2 Upton Bass Workshop Double Bass Bow (purchased new in 2008). One German (never gigged) and the other French (not heavy use, as predominately played Americana/Bluegrass music pizzicato) They have a Composite plastic tip, 100% ebony frog, stainless steel wrap, un-dyed black horse hair. See link for further bow description(s) www.uptonbass.com/product/ub-workshop-double-bass-bow-french-and-german-styles/ I’m including an Upton Bass Hardshell Case for each (Cordura Cover & velvet lined interior, which were purchased separately). However, whilst the bows are in very good/excellent condition, please note, the zip fastener with the French bow case has come away, therefore I’ve simply used an elastic band to wrapped around it to achieve closure. Additionally, the case shoulder strap is missing. The German bow case still fastens and has the shoulder strap, however the zip ‘tag’ is missing, so has to be ‘pushed’ to zip up Each Bow, individually, with case, £40.00 includes postage or £75.00 for both, and if purchasing both, I’ll include a leather quiver and some Rosin

    Can you remind us how these instruments are traditionally tuned, please?

    Back up for sale. I had sold this on eBay but the buyer requested a return saying it wasn’t producing sound. I got it back today and it works flawlessly just as it did when I sent it to him and I’m down £11 in return postage.

    With 48 different Grade 3 pieces to choose from, and a World Of Books account, I have found a few pieces that are both part of the syllabus, and great fun too. In other news, my neighbour's daughter is one Grade ahead of me, and has the same piano teacher. Dad handed me her now-redundant Grade 3 books. So, I have 12 pieces from the syllabus to try. I will nevertheless be working on other things, such as some pieces by Bach. As for scales, I will give them a miss for now. However, if I carry on at the current rate, I will be taking Grade 5 piano by March 2027, so should l want to aim for the Theory exams soon?

    Having a bit of a clear out so up for sale here is my Gretsch 1883 Banjo. I got this about 10 years ago and learnt a few tricks but never really got the hang of it, time for someone else to have a go. Hasn't left the house, so is in fantastic condition - would probably benefit from a new set of strings though. I've got some books that I used to learn what little I know - will include these in the deal. I don't have a case for this so collection/meet-up is the only option. I live in Nottingham but happy to travel an hour or two if that helps.

    For sale my Eden Neo powered (passive) 2x10 made in PRC and USA made D115 cabs. Together they make an excellent full range stack. Relatively compact as the D115 is the shorter version. The Neo 2x10 is a lightweight cab and very manageable, the D cab a bit more weighty though not ridiculous. The 2x10 is 500 watts at 8 ohms and adjustable tweeter, the D115 is 200 watt at 8ohm. Both offered in very good used condition and perfect working order, of course. No tweeter in the D series cab so it benefits from Being part of a stack with the highs taken care of elsewhere, unless some sub reggae is the order of the day? Will consider splitting though, as usual, it'd be a bit of a shame. EX210N8 = £165 D115=£145 Collection much preferred, but i can package securely, if you can arrange the courier of your choice. Cheers. Craig.

    Having a bit of a clear out so up for sale here is my Squier Classic Vibe 60s Stratocaster. This has only every been played at home and so is in fantastic condition, not a mark on it. Not a lot more to say really, looks like a strat, sounds like a strat, plays like a strat! I don't have a case for this so collection/meet-up is the only option. I live in Nottingham but happy to travel an hour or two if that helps.

    Having a bit of a clear out so up for sale here is my Epiphone Dot. This is one of the good ones that was made in the Peerless factory (in 2003 according to the serial number). I've owned it for most of its life and only ever played it at home, its in good condition with a few small dents but nothing that would pick up on camera - other than the blooming on the headstock. This is under the finish and hasn't got any worse in the 20 years I've owned it. Other than the headstock, its a thing of beauty but sadly not getting played much recently so time to move it on. Comes with a hardcase but I'm not really keen on posting it so collection/meet-up would be preferred. If you wanted to arrange your own courier and insurance then I could maybe find some cardboard to wrap it in, but would rather not take the risk to be honest.

    You are very welcome, so far it's a duet with a possibility of @neepheid

    That's a really useful point, thanks Linus! So essentially we can go from bypass --> clean or dirty B15 tone, depending on what you have the pedal set on. Tbf I guess that's exactly what you would have to do if owned the amp? Some great bass tones from this - particularly liked what IMA was producing - that Retro Rock! Ooof! Question: how much different / better than a Sansamp VT Bass DI, is this?

    Having a bit of a clear out so up for sale here is my Harley Benton Fretless Bass Uke. A fun little thing and sounds pretty good when amplified. Played it on a couple of gigs but that was ages ago so time to move it on. Comes with a soft case but I don't have a hard case for this so collection/meet-up is the only option. I live in Nottingham but happy to travel an hour or two if that helps.

    I recently got a silent (EUB) bass made by Luthier Marian Pawlik in Krakow, Poland. It's a beautiful instrument, plays and feels more like an acoustic upright than any of this type I've tried. It has a standard adjustable maple bridge, so I could use any bridge-mounted pickup, but I'm pretty happy with the Wilson K4 bridge pickup that came with it. I'm just trying to get the maximum possible acoustic tone. The bass has a small hollow body (13"X8"X3"), so there's slight acoustic sound, enough to practice in a quiet room, but no more than that. I'm curious to try a contact mic on the body, to see if that, along with the bridge pickup, could fill out the acoustic quality of the amplified sound. Any opinions on this, recommendations for external contact mics, or other ideas? Thanks! DC

    Having a bit of a clear out so up for sale here is my Ibanez PCBE14MH Acoustic-Electric Bass. Only had very light use, mostly at home although I did gig it once. In fantastic condition with no issues. 32 inch scale makes this very easy to play. Currently strung with black nylon tapewounds which sound great to me. Comes with a soft case but I don't have a hard case for this so collection/meet-up is the only option. I live in Nottingham but happy to travel an hour or two if that helps.

    ...also, it applies to everything.

    An interesting bass was listed today but almost immediately withdrawn in between my seeing it, asking how much it weighed, and getting a reply. Not seen one before. Seller did a little more research and pulled it because he believes he undervalued it. Which is probably true. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/267482497835

    Having a bit of a clear out so up for sale here is my Warwick Streamer STD fretless. Sadly doesn't get played as much as it used to so it has to go! I got it in a trade for a double bass over 10 years ago so I don't know that much about it. From what I've found on t'internet these seem to be German made using a cheaper body wood and electronics than the full-on Warwicks, same necks though. It's served me well though and is in good condition. The finish on the body is oil rather than Poly or Nitro so there are a few small dents but nothing too serious. I don't have a case for this so collection/meet-up is the only option. I live in Nottingham but happy to travel an hour or two if that helps.
