  1. 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.

  2. 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

  3. OVERVIEW

    Practice with punch!

     

    The Markbass Micromark bass combo is an amplifier that is less than 9" in any direction. Despite only a 6" speaker, the Micromark is a practice amp with deceptively loud volume and the kind of sound quality you'd expect from a B&C speaker with Markbass electronics. Pumping out 50W of power, the Micromark amp boasts a mini-plug for attaching your CD or MP3 players, to help you master your favorite licks.

     

    The Markbass Micromark amp has a Variable Pre-shape filter for boosting lows around 35Hz and highs around 10kHz, and cutting mids at 380Hz”which is perfect for rockers and slap bassists alike. There's a volume control knob, headphone jack, XlR output for recording and live situations, a ground lift to eliminate hum, and a 1/4" jack tweeter out for the optional Markbass satellite tweeter.

  4. Great sounding 2 channel preamp. I think Raven labs was one of the SWR guys. I used to use this to supply 9v phantom power to a K and K Golden Bullet double bass mic and blend that with a piezo pickup. This makes for a very natural sounding amplified double bass. It would work just as well for acoustic guitar or running 2 instruments into one amp. Sound engineers always loved this warm clean preamp.

    I'm afraid the power supply is lost but it runs off 2x9v batteries.

    Very good condition. It has sat unused in a case for the last few years but sounds as clean as ever.

  5. It's the slightly bigger brother!

     

    I've not had this one long at all and it's great but not right for me. The amp is dated Jan 2019. I guess I have had it for half its life and have taken it out twice.

     

    Big sound from a small box. Brilliant practice amp and quite enough for rehearsals or small gigs with certain drummers.

  6. Microscopic size but huge sound. Possibly the ultimate practice amp? I've currently got 4 bass amps sitting around in my house and none of than have left it for months...

    I don't think you can get this one new any more. 6 inch speaker but it can handle low notes and is enough for rehearsing.

    Very good condition. It has hardly been out. It's dated 2007. I got it about 5 years ago and not had any problems.

  7. Beautiful old bass. I believe it is 1880s German. Great sound and feel. It should be worth more than this but it is an Eb neck which seems to be out of vogue in the UK. It has also suffered damage to the neck (close up picture)at some point which has been repaired with internal screws and glue which have held solid for the 5 or so years that I have had it. Repair by Jerome Davies who I bought it from. Last set up and repair by Laurence Dixon after an incident at Ronnie Scott’s where Lady Gaga kicked a small hole in the side (close up picture). Complete with bridge adjusters. I am selling it now purely because I have far too many basses.

  8. 1994 (I think) Warwick Fortress One 5 string in perfect condition with one careful owner from new. I have mostly been playing double bass since about 1996 so it has spent many years sitting in a case. Feels and sounds great. I have just finally admitted I don't really need it any more.
