Legion

Been a week already type bump

Bump, still enjoying this bass, but still in need of something more upright-ish as a priority

Another bump

I'll be in Bristol next week, USA the week after, Czech the week after that (and I will be trying to check out some DB's whilst there) [quote name='Jezyorkshire' timestamp='1394552426' post='2392586'] HI legion, you gonna get back into Double Bass, just got myself another after 2 year layoff due to domestic issues lol, hope your well mate [/quote] Hi Jez, all good here thanks. All being well yes, I'd love to get back to the DB. If I can find something nice in my price range

Ditto - I'm also after a nice loud DB for purely acoustic use at the moment and don't have a huge budget (well, I don't have any budget really) but I'm similarly 4 hours away.

Sorry to hear it was disappointing mate. My Gibson experience was the same unfortunately. A short scale decade is a great alternative :-P

[quote name='kristo' timestamp='1394025782' post='2387034'] That looks awesome! [/quote] As good as it looks Weekend bump and price drop to £1700

Bumpety

A non-Basschatter friend of mine has the rosewood version of this (he always wanted a maple one but has stopping playing much lately). Cracking basses and not something you see very often. I'll mention it to him, but he probably won't be inclined to bite at the moment.

Weekend bump for this little shorty

[quote name='rabanbass' timestamp='1393614302' post='2382661'] hi. can you tell me what is that white point on the neck? [/quote] Someone has just put dot stickers on the fingerboard, should peel off no problem.

I've literally just driven back from trying out a Double Bass that's up for sale local to me and I have to confess to having an epiphany about it - I really miss the physicality of playing a DB and the tone. I now know I'm ready to go in that direction again after a few years. I also just got a call from a friend (its taking me ages to write this ad due to all the interruptions!) and he has lined up a great bunch of people locally and wants me on bass, DB if possible as there's an accordion in the line up. Likely to be very Madeline Peyroux inspired. So unfortunately this recent, very rare purchase has to go in order to generate some funds. When I say rare I mean it...I've never seen another one come up for sale apart from this which is why I felt compelled to snag it. It's a Lakland US Decade with the normal (neo) Chisonic pickups and a short scale neck. Great bass, well balanced, beautifully built, lovely smooth neck and a good weight at a shade over 8lbs. It's in Ocean Turquoise metallic so pictures tend not to capture that very well. Clean original cream hard case obviously included. I've fully shielded the cavity and grounded the pickups so its hum-free and ready to go. I realise these are somewhat niche so I'm expecting to have to wait for the right buyer to come along, but there's no hurry at my end. Looking for [s]£1750[/s] [s]£1700[/s] [s]£1650[/s] [s]£1600[/s] £1550 If you want to know what it sounds like, head over to here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/230182-lakland-decade-vs-fender-pino/page__p__2373179__hl__decade__fromsearch__1#entry2373179"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry2373179[/url] EDIT: forgot to add, has a finish crack at the neck pocket, very common issue on the top poly coat. Very hard to see this, only visible in the right light (tough to photograph thats for sure) More pics to follow

Another +1 from me. Love these straps, got a wide and a normal one. Although I have to say the wider ones seems both thinner and softer (which is even more comfortable)
