Highly rated compressor pedal. Used it a few times then decided a compressor wasn’t for me. Collect from Leighton Buzzard or will happily post at buyers expense.

It’s been sitting in a box since the 90s. I put this on my old Fender Precision for a while before realising the original bridge worked better despite being very crusty. I’m sure it’ll work well on someone else’s bass though… Will post at buyers expense.

I think this is an old Gear for Music case that they ship new instruments in. I bought it some years ago for £30 to put a bass on a truck for a tour. It has more than served its purpose and has taken up a corner of the house for too long now. It lost a handle along the way but is still functional. Please help me get some space back! (it wouldn’t let me put zero pounds)

Would be a great bass for someone starting out on upright or a spare for any working pro

Mittel gauge with extended E/C. Fantastic orchestral strings but not the ones for me. Came on a bass I bought and I took them straight off. Don’t think they had been used much so should have plenty of life. Good condition with no damage.

This is a ex-school bass. Czech made heavy plywood, swell back, Eb neck. Fingerboard looks like rosewood and has a couple of dings in it. Standard-ish 3/4 size, 105cm scale. It’s a very solid instrument but was being chucked out as the neck had come clean off. Rather than just gluing and screwing it back on I put in some threaded inserts to make it a removable neck. It seems to have worked as has been stable for a good year in which the neck has been on and off a few times. Get yourself a bicycle flightcase and this bass is plane ready. The only problem is it is on the heavy side so the case would have to be light.

Ever fancied playing really low notes on double bass? This is the cheapest way to try it and be able to get back to pitch safely and efficiently. Works really well with a metal E string. I have now got a bass with a low C extension so it’s been gathering dust for a while. Still got the box, instructions and everything. Very easy to fit yourself. Will post at buyers expense.

Hi, have you still got the Spiro weich C extended E?

1/2 might be perfect then. Those Stentors are great for what they are. Just sold this one anyway

1/2 size is a bit smaller hehe

I am actually gonna be in Edinburgh on Sunday 29th. It would probably fit in the car if you’re serious?

This bass came from a local music service and part of the money from the sale will be going back to them. It is pretty messy but completely solid and functioning fine. It’s slightly small for a 3/4 size so I have labelled it as 5/8 but I may be wrong about this. The end pin goes high enough that it feels fine to me but would suit somebody on the smaller side. Playing string length 102cm Length of body 108cm Upper bout 49cm Lower bout 66cm Depth of ribs 19cm Swell back, I believe it is a carved top and plywood back. The fingerboard is a light coloured wood (maple?) stained black. It’s just labelled ‘Made in Hungary’. The action is currently fairly low and it’s a bit rattly on the E string but this could be solved with heavier strings or fitting a new bridge or adjusters. The neck joint looks like it has never had a problem. See photos for messy edges/varnish especially on the bottom corners. There are a couple of old cracks on the front which appear to have been glued and do not seem to be open. Priced low for quick and easy sale. Come and have a look/play. It’s not gonna be a pro instrument but would be ideal for someone starting out on upright bass.

Yeah, I’ll take these please. Oli

Looks great and I’m sure it is coming from them. Can’t believe nobody has snapped this up. I would if I had a spare £6k…

Actually yes but no room in the car for this bass...

Eb I'm afraid, as most German basses are in my experience. I never used the heel as a reference point so swapping between D and Eb necks is not a problem. I never considered it could be until someone didn't want to hire this bass for that reason.

German style flatback 3/4 size bass, possibly from Czech Republic (no label), I'm guessing mid 20th Century. Carved top, ply back. Perfect for jazz. I've had it as my spare bass for the last 10 years but it's time for it to move on. It's definitely been messed around with at some point. Looks like the neck has had a major repair and been reset at a lower angle but it's all solid. Adjustable bridge and last setup by Jerome Davies. Strung with Evah Pirazzi Weich. You can hear me playing it here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1A0-1j_lTBodO1hVxgUlUEuE2cf4-0SRz/view?usp=drivesdk Please ask any questions or come round and have a look.

Looks like a great instrument!

Great! Sold! I'll message you now...
