  1. Selling my Realist pickup. I bought it a couple of months ago from an official UK dealer. At first didn't get a chance to try it on my bass, when I eventually did, I decided it wasn't a good match for my instrument. Unfortunately the dealer can't take it back, so here it is for sale.

    Essentially new, in original retail box. Will ship for free in the UK.

    Bank transfer only, please, or payment in cash if you are local and picking it up. I'm based in Glasgow.

    A mix of study/method books. If you're a beginner to intermediate looking to get your walking lines and soloing in shape, you'll find these books invaluable. A really nice mix of technique and method/inspiration stuff here.[list]
    [*]Ray Brown's Bass Method · Essential Scales, Patterns & Exercises
    [*]The Evolving Bassist · Rufus Reid
    [*]Primer Scale & Arpeggio Fingerings · Dr. Morton
    [*]Technical Foundation Studies for Double Bass, vol.1 (Open Hand Technique) · Thomas B. Gale
    [*]Technical Foundation Studies for Double Bass, vol.2 (Thumb Position) · Thomas B. Gale
    [*]Practical Studies for Double Bass · Thomas B. Gale
    [*]Melodic Foundation Studies Studies for Double Bass · Thomas B. Gale
    [*]Expanding Walking Bass Lines (inc. CD) · Ed Friedland
    [/list]
    The Dr. Morton and Thomas Gale stuff I imported from the US, so I guess they're quite hard to get hold of here. Although thought of as more classically oriented, there's nothing to get your jazz chops in shape like good solid classical scales and arpeggio practice.

    The Ed Friedland book, although targeted at electric bass, has a great play along and it is normal notation with chord symbols, so just as good for us double bassists.

    The Rufus Reid and Ray Brown books... well, I'm sure you're all familiar with those.

    [b]£35[/b] for the lot which represents over 60% off UK prices.

    I'm in Poland. Will ship within the EU for £7.50

    Pictures below are of the actual items. Condition of everything excellent. They are used, but I take good care of my books!

    Douglas, I just bought a bass, and I live in the United States, so I'm not in the market. But I have to say, I listened to the video you posted. That bass sounded like many I've heard in the $15,000 range. Very impressive. And your playing was great too.

    On that video - how was the bass amplified? I'm just curious because the sound was so big and pure. I couldn't see an amp. But surely it wasn't unamplified straight from the stage? I also couldn't see a microphone.

    Only just saw this post, so sorry for the delayed response!

    Thanks very much for the nice comments. Yes, the Bryant is staggering value for money - it's a bit rough end ready, but after a bit of tweaking and decent set up it's a reliable and solid instrument. No amplification on this gig, purely acoustic.

    Douglas.

  5. [s]Pirastro, Evah Pirazzi, full set (E, A, D & G), medium. Several months use, but still in fantastic condition with plenty of play left. £55[/s]

    [s]Thomastik, Spirocore, full set (E, A, D & G) Mittel (a.k.a. medium). A couple of months use. Great clarity, but well settled in. £70[/s]

    [s]Thomastik, Spirocore, E, Mittel (a.k.a. medium). A good few months of use, but still going strong. £15[/s]

    [s]Pirastro, Evah Pirazzi, full set (E, A, D & G), medium. A few weeks use. Fantastic condition. £65[/s]

    Pirastro, Permanent, D. Only tested for a few minutes. Basically as new. £9

    D'Addario Helicore Orchestral, full set (E, A, D & G). The D string is a bit bare on the peg-winding, and the ball-end silks are a wee bit frayed here and there (they have been sitting in my bass bag pocket as a spare set for a while), but the strings are in great condition. £40

    The silk and winding for all strings above is in excellent condition, unless noted otherwise.

    Free shipping to Europe (also free for the rest of the world, if order over £15)

  6. Hello!

    I'm selling the AMT Super Preamp.

    So, anyone needing a replacement AMT Super Preamp, or looking to upgrade their existing "Standard" AMT preamp, now's your chance. The casing is a bit scratched from use, but it still functions perfectly and the connctors and volume control are all nice and firm and operating as they should.

    Photo is of the actual item and was taken today (actually, a few minutes ago!)

    It's very hard to put a price on this, as I can't find anywhere you can buy the preamp standalone. The price difference between the AMT with an inline preamp and AMT Super version is around $450, so obviously this pre-amp must be worth at least that. I'm happy to accept around 50% of that price, so let's say £140 (plus I'll ship it anywhere in the world for free!)

    Please be in touch with any questions.

    Cheers!

    Douglas.
