    wow, alright, double bass, I was just thinking electric bass! that's nice to know though, thanks.

    I'm moving to London (from the US) this week, and have hopes I can get into a band & some gigs. I've lived in the UK (Oxford) before and had a car, but didn't really plan on a car in London (don't even know where I'll end up - probably west i.e. Notting Hill Gate etc). Do you find that you can get around the tube or buses fine for practice & gigs or do most people have a car? These days with a gig bag and tiny amps/combos it seems feasible to use public transport (although I've never tried it!).

    looks nice, do you get to London? I'm not sure if a trip to Sunderland is feasible for me. I'm moving to London (arrive next Thursday) to do a PhD at Imperial, and will need a bass (I'm lugging 3 guitars from the states but my basses seemed too much to haul over). I guess this is "Made in Korea"? Is it tuned in 4ths usually or like a 7-string guitar an octave down?

    oh I don't mind, it was a nice bass (my Lakland DJ5), and I didn't really need the money, but with this overseas move it was just going to gather dust. It's just a crappy market I guess (look at all the stuff on talkbass that is really nice but doesn't seem to be moving). good luck on your sale.

    looks nice, how did you appraise it? I see them on ebay (in the US) not selling at US $2500. It's a terrible market now with the recession though; I just sold a Lakland Skyline DJ5 with Nordstrand pickups for a "whopping" $900... (just over half what I put into it)

    wow - it would be humbling to have a bass with parts older than Stonehenge!

    it looks nice, is that the model called "American Deluxe" (there's so many damn variations of Fender instruments nowadays)? I am scheduled to fly over to London next week and am interested if it's still available then.

    Hi, I'm moving to London in a week and interested in joining a band as bassist or guitarist (or both depending on the situation). I have pretty good chops in all styles, grew up on prog rock (have been in various Yes & Genesis tribute bands as guitarist & bassist). Also played lounge jazz/Real Book sort of gigs on guitar & bass; as well as the usual "rock cover bands" and funky horn bands (Tower of Power, Steely Dan etc). Bear in mind that I'm a fat balding old git so if you want to make music videos in spandex I'm probably not what you're looking for. I haven't visited my own myspace page in awhile but it should be up at: [url="http://myspace.com/carlgt1"]http://myspace.com/carlgt1[/url]

    Hi, thanks, yeah I hope I'll have better luck in London with bands -- video killed the radio star - and DJ's killed the bass star! ;-)

    Hi all, I've been on talkbass for awhile and just discovered this board thanks to a UK member there. I'm moving to London (from Philadelphia) next week to work & take up a PhD in Engineering at Imperial. I've been playing guitar & bass since I was a kid -- mostly prog rock & jazz & some classical on guitar, and jazz & funk & prog rock on bass. I'm currently debating whether I should bring a bass over or whether it's simpler to just buy one in London (I already have a lot of stuff e.g. personal effects to bring on the plane!) I'd also love to join a band either as guitarist or bassist but not sure if the London music scene is 99% DJ's now (that's how it is on the US east coast unfortunately).
