Chris. I've been in denial that I need to buy a bow for proper practice so knock it off the ply DB cost and I'll take it! how does that work for you?

PM'd

I visited Chris recently to try this bass (thanks Chris!) and I can certainly vouch for it. It has a lovely punchy tone and is utterly playable, even to someone as out of practice as I am with the DB. The quality of the construction is excellent and although its surprisingly light it manages to combine this with feeling seriously robust at the same time. I actually found it quite inspiring to play, with a nice clarity and presence which surprised me. It wouldn't be for sale as I was set on buying it but unfortunately it would mean selling my Rob Allen and I can't bring myself to do it I still want it though, so someone please save me from myself and buy it... And now, for your entertainment, here's Kylie and Dani rolling around on the floor together

Sounds like a good decision on your part given the history of this thread. However, now I really want one and Bass Direct only have 1 and that's a 5 stringer (the nut width is a bit much for me), maybe I should put my '63 P up for sale and wait until they get some 4s in stock and then fill my boots. [/quote] Sorry matey, you were already out of luck there anyway! I had a buyer turning up tomorrow who has very graciously accepted my total change of heart. Used ones do come up on talkbass now and then which could save you a lot on a new one if you wanted to go that route. Of course Rob is always building lovely new ones as well

And now withdrawn as I've had a total change of heart to stick with my cheaper DB for now meaning I don't have to part with this (yet)

PMs replied to, still available bump

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1407780063' post='2523969'] As if this is back to haunt me! I can't play fretless, I can't play fretless...... [/quote] Would it help to mention that its one of the easiest fretless basses I've ever played? Practically plays itself it does Guv'

Having sold this, then embarrassingly needed to buy it back fast...I'm now in the position where it could be sold to fund a proper DB upgrade. It was always my intention to be back on DB properly and this has been such a good compromise in that area that I've nearly lost my way and not bothered with the DB at all! I kept finding myself thinking "if they could have made a bass like this Rob Allen 200 years ago, would they have bothered with the double bass?" So I'm putting it out there again to see if there is any interest. Scary thought as I love this little thing J

Bad Chris - makey promise and no keep

no nO NO

Hmm, I'd love to take a look at this. Might be in contact soon
