  1. [color=#000000][font=Helvetica][size=4][size=4]A beautiful fully carved bass. Characterful, clear singing sound for jazz or classical. Currently setup with an adjustable bridge and Velvet Garbo strings. Used as a main instrument by a professional jazz bass player for the last 3 years for countless performances and recordings. There has been damage to the neck at some point which has been solidly repaired 3 years ago by Jerome Davies. Last setup by Laurence Dixon. It also features a small wound on the ribs (which has been repaired by Laurence Dixon) where it was kicked by Lady Gaga in performance at Ronnie Scott's [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63yKaKgNRF0"]https://www.youtube....h?v=63yKaKgNRF0[/url][/size][/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Helvetica][size=4][size=4]Playing string length 108cm, Eb neck, very comfortable shoulders.[/size][/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Helvetica][size=4][size=4]Please come round and try it out.[/size][/size][/font][/color] [attachment=233483:s-l1600-1.jpg][attachment=233484:s-l1600-2.jpg][attachment=233485:s-l1600-3.jpg][attachment=233486:s-l1600-4.jpg][attachment=233487:s-l1600-5.jpg][attachment=233488:s-l1600-6.jpg][attachment=233489:s-l1600-7.jpg][attachment=233490:s-l1600-8.jpg][attachment=233491:s-l1600-9.jpg][attachment=233492:s-l1600.jpg]
  2. Sold very quickly for asking price. Thanks!
  3. Removable neck 4 string version with flight case. Good condition, just a couple of dings in the varnish round the edges. It is a great bass, really nice acoustic sound, perfect for practicing in a hotel room, sounds just like a double bass when plugged in. Perfect for travelling on planes, just pack it the golf club flight case and chuck it in the hold. I am only selling it because I have got into playing hired basses when abroad. Also easy for gigs on the train, squeezing in a car etc.
  4. Yes, in my experience, the Yamaha is the closest feeling to a double bass apart from Mo's brilliant invention. I have an Eminence for sale which, I believe, is the closest sound-wise. It feels slightly more vertical than a real upright but the lack of knee contact is not a problem as the bar on the bottom of the end pin prevents any rotation. You get used to it quickly and it feels like a real acoustic instrument with proper (if slightly light) attack, worlds away from anything with a solid body. Contact me if you are interested. I will be posting an advert shortly. I am in Bedfordshire.
