    Really? If no stand then lie on its side?

    Here is a photo of the string silks if this helps identify the existing strings. Any recommendations for replacements are also welcome.

    Hey there, I just picked up a 2nd hand 1/2 size double bass by Antoni, made in China. Got it for £150 so was worth a punt I thought. So, are there knowledgeable buffs out there who can advise on getting the best out of this instrument? I’ve cleaned it up, slackened the strings, adjusted the bridge and tuned it to concert but that’s it so far. Strings seem dead, is that normal, or is it that a bass of this level is never going to have great sounding strings put on it in the factory? Feel the E string is lacking clarity, very muddy compared to other strings. I’ve only ever played/ recorded on DB a few times in my life with borrowed instruments but never owned one to practice with. All advise appreciated as to what to do to improve the DB experience 🙂

    My first lefty bass after years playing righties upside down was a Yamaha BB300. It was later stolen. I also play with bass strung for a righty so not much trouble for me to just flip any bass I want to try instore.

    Wonderful! Never knew about this retro combo. Love the VU meter too.

    I used Jack’s Instrument Services in Manchester for 2 lefty P bass pickguards. One in red tort, the other a gold anodised finish. Great job and pleasure to deal with.

    The best 2 Fenders I have owned have both been Japanese. A 1987 MIJ '62 Jazz bass which was super light and a 2010 CIJ '57 P bass which had a wonderful neck.

    Laura bought a bass rig from me. Happy to pay by bank transfer and collect later. Great to deal with 👍
  13. sblueplanet
    That is absolutely stunning! Hope it sounds as good as it looks.

    Rig is now SOLD. Thanks to everyone who expressed interest.
  15. sblueplanet
    Rig now on hold 🙂

    Hi, the amp can be used standalone as a headphone practice amp. Never encountered any limiter issues. The operation manual is readily available as a pdf document online for any technical info. Cheers

    Lovely combo. Super light too. Packs a punch volume-wise.

    Sweet 😎

    Whoever got this has made a great choice. I regret selling my 1999 Warwick BO4.

    Thanks for that. This bass I’m interested in is giving full body measurement from tailpiece to top of scroll as 64 inches. Above the 1/4 size and under the 1/2 on that chart illustration.

    These are sweet basses. Played one of these when they came out along with the ‘54 P bass equivalent. Both lovely to play and well put together. This one has the extra cache of now being a Pino lookalike 🤩

    What would the respective scale lengths in this instance be for 1/2 and/or 1/4 size?
  25. sblueplanet
    I’ve seen a double bass for sale locally but because of current restrictions etc can’t go check it out. The description lists it as being 162cm in length, minus the stand. Would this make it a 1/2 size or 1/4 size instrument?
