    Hi there You certainly could get away with what you suggest, the strings would be fairly low tension but a lot of people, myself included, like that. You could also just buy a low B string and shift all the others up one. So you definitely wouldn’t need a whole set. I can have a look at what strings I have lying around in case I have one that I could throw in if that helps too! Cheers Dan

    No problem at all, I probably should have done one in the first place! Still open to reasonable offers if it helps…

    Hi all Excuse the Sunday outfit/hair but here's a quick demo showing the bass pizz and arco. The bass is plugged directly into a Markbass LMK set flat. Audio recorded by a condenser mic in the room so should be a very good representation of how it would sound live. In my opinion, if you shut your eyes you'd be hard pushed to notice the difference between this and a 'real' double bass with a realist pickup. Hope this helps! Thanks Dan

    Hello! The reason I bought this was was because of how similar to an upright it feels. It is the closest sounding EUB to an upright that I’ve personally ever played. I also considered the NS designs ones but found that they basically sound like a fretless and the action is so low in them that you can’t play them like the real thing either. The Oakwood has a ‘proper’ double bass scale length of just over 41” (I think a lot of the NS ones are shorter) and also has a hollow body so does resonate on its own like a double bass, although a lot quieter. Yes it can be plugged in direct - I tend to use a preamp to shape the sound a bit but you could do the same with the EQ on your amp. I can do you a quick video later today to show you the sounds if you like? Let me know if you’d like to come round and give it a try. Thanks Dan

    Bumps and also to answer a couple of questions: - This is proper double bass scale length, not the shorter scale like NS design etc - it’s also set up to feel like a ‘proper’ double bass, you can dig in properly and play with a bow etc. Thanks Dan

    Hi all I bought this lovely EUB from The Gallery just before lockdown for a show that never happened and feel it should be enjoyed by someone who will play it more than I do now. It is an old Oakwood which as far as I know was build in the UK in the 80s and has a 'laminated figured sycamore and bubinga body'. The built-in pickup has a very similar sound to a Realist. It's in great condition for its age, there are a few chips around the 'shoulder' which you can see in one of the pictures and a few small age-related dings elsewhere but nothing major. Some useful dots on the side of the neck too! Currently strung E-C but have also had it set up B-G with no issues. You're welcome to come for a coffee and to give it a try in Chessington, Surrey (South-West London). I'm also more than happy to pick you up from Surbiton station (20 mins from Waterloo) and drop you back afterwards if you're serious about it. Very good quality soft case included, the 'shoulder' is removable for easy transportation. Bow and quiver not included, but happy to sell with the quiver if you'd like it. SOLD The closest I can find currently for sale is this four string one one here https://edinburghmusiccentre.co.uk/guitar/vh98ju6dav7y9eb305m73cm2ism3eo for double the price! Any questions, give me a shout. Thanks Dan

    now £79 Up for sale is my mono Bass Sleeve. Only reason I'm selling is that I got a Mono Tick for Christmas so would like a case that has the rings for it to fit. Really good used condition, no issues. Trade with cash your way for an M80 or Vertigo! Also would trade for Way Huge Pork and Pickle pedal. Thanks Dan

    Tentatively listing my Marcus Miller Jazz 5 as my Sadowsky is getting all the love at the moment. Would also be open to trades for a Sadowsky J5 with cash either way depending in which line. This is one of the USA made MM jazzes. Really lovely neck and feel and nice radius to the fingerboard. It has been professionally refinished by ‘relic art France’ (google them) in Candy Tangerine. There is a lovely subtle sparkle to the finish which is very hard to do justice in the photos. Original preamp has been replaced with a Sadowsky one with VTC and the poly neck finish has been stripped and refinished with gun stock oil for a much smoother feel. Also includes Fender softcase and pickup cover. Weight on my luggage scales is a comfortable 4.5kg/9.9lbs Located in Chessington KT9 but travel quite a lot, feel free to come round for a play and give me a shout if you have any questions. EDIT: Open to offers on this. Also realised that one of the pics has Aguilar pickups, I'm selling with the original pickups which in my opinion sound better. Cheers Dan
