Oooffff what a stunning bass Keith fabulous woods and I love the shape too. The Irving Sloane tuners alone are probably £ 600.00.
BTW Keith is a top bloke and a great person to do deals with. So have no fears his gear is always in great condition
Thanks Laurence, hope you're keeping well.

Just had a query about the vibrating string length so thought I'd include it here
approx 103cm or 40 5/8"

How well does it work with fretless bass guitar? Maybe you don't need the electric upright after all 🙂
I've not tried it with fretless, I don't need to as I prefer playing upright these days.

Thanks for that - any particular reason why do you don't use it any more? I'm guessing that with a decent pickup/amp setup an IR isn't really worth it for live situations.....
I mostly play double bass now but on the odd occasion I use a Yamaha SLB I get a good enough sound without the IR's.

Finding the above video has introduced me to IR loaders (something that I was previously unaware of). As I'm skint, I'm wondering about using the TC IR Loader (about €140) with some upright bass IRs through my existing amp - has anybody else tried doing this? It seems like a promising way of enhacing the sound of the piezo output from my DB....
I've been experimenting with double bass IR's for some time using a Mooer Radar. I'm not really using it anymore so might consider selling it including a few dozen IR's I've collected.

Think I've over priced this. I'd seen another one sold, they were asking asking 4k but I don't know what it went for.
How about £3.5k?
I have an old German hatpeg needs a new home too but not sure of it's value yet.

Yes all is well thanks. We have a 2 year old grandson now and we'd like to move closer to the family.

Hoping to move house soon and need to de-clutter.
Fast approaching 71 I'm still doing a few gigs but mainly on my Yamaha.
I Probably need to sell 3 uprights.
First up is a 2008 Jay Haide, Ifshin Violins, Berkeley. Ca.
Lovely red varnish, slim neck.
Prefer collection in Harrogate but could possibly meet up within reasonable distance.

Hi Chris, long time no chat. Hope ya'll well.
I have dozens of books which I need to move on. Might take a while to list them but I'll put your name on one of the Goldsby books if you like.
Hoping to move house soon so need to de-clutter instruments and gear.

For some reason I've got 2 copies of the book, both with c.d.'s, one is new and unused.
-
I might have it among loads of bass books I need to move on. I'll have a look later.

I think you'll find the sound will improve as the newness wears off the strings

Elixir nickels?
Thanks, just ordered an Elixir C string to try. They don't come in a set and the C string is the worst offender, although if I like the C I'll probably get the other 5.

I'm a big fan of La Bella nylons, I have a spare 4 string set somewhere
but they might be to thick for the nut.

After longing for one of these beauties for a few months I finally got one. On the day it was delivered I became ill and hardly touched it for the first two weeks.
Most BTB's are 35" scale, I wanted something shorter for playing chords, this is 33". It's very comfortable to play seated, seems ok standing and balances well.
The strings are D'Addario NYXL and are a bit too bright for my liking. Can anyone recommend something warmer sounding that would fit?
The picture doesn't do it justice, it's much nicer.

Hi Jimmy,
sorry only just seen this post.
The bridge saddles are staggered with the E saddle being about 1/4" further from end of fingerboard than the G saddle
I think you'd struggle to get the intonation spot on, but then it's fretless so if you adjust your technique accordingly it might be ok, after altering the nut of course.
It's a great instrument, I used it on quite a few gigs, mainly sitting.
Hope this helps

On it’s way to me to try on my Yammy Slb100

Good to see you back on BC Clarky
A nice bass indeed, I'd be tempted to have it back but have too many instruments and not enough gigs.

I also need to sell this old German flat back but not sure what its value is.
I'll consider any reasonable serious offers.
The Clifton is sadly no longer in my possession.
