This might help with identification [url="http://www.quinnviolins.com/stringidfier.htm"]http://www.quinnviolins.com/stringidfier.htm[/url]

Hi Matt can you identify the other 3 strings? do they match? I might have something that will do Keith

[attachment=2856:twin_cropped.jpg] It's been done before, over twenty years ago.

Aberdeen again? ask him to take a photo of the serial number and date sticker inside the control cavity!

Bass now sold to Edward, pending payment / collection.

I play mainly upright nowadays, but I take a bass guitar along just in case. Just in case I have to play something that is more suited to a fretted bass, & just in case I have an accident with the upright. Well last December I knocked the bridge on a door frame going into a venue. I got the bass out of it's gig bag and checked it, it had moved about 1/4", I reset it and did the gig. At the next gig I was warming up playing some Christmas carols when there was this huge bang! The bridge snapped in two! Luckily I had my trusty old jazz bass with me and could do the gig.

I've got a CR4 (the actual one reviewed in Bassist magazine) and would prefer a traditional neck profile. If anyone out there fancies a swap the other way, lets do it!

Do soap bar pick-ups give a cleaner sound???

I've just signed up for a five week evening course, Inspection & Testing of Electrical Equipment. Starts next Monday.

Headless, Stein style body, 2 necks, fretless and fretted - pretty much ticks al the boxes :-) Being an old prog fanboy I love double necks - I'm just in the middle of making my 2nd double necked guitar and I toying with a double neck bass as next years project. Do you gig it?[/quote] I don't gig it nowadays, although I did take it out to an open mic session a couple of months ago.

I bought this in the mid eighties. According to Washburn there were only six brought into U.K. Anyone else got one? [attachment=33488:misc_078.jpg][attachment=33487:twin_cropped.jpg]

Bernie has bought stuff from me on a couple of occasions. He's a nice guy to deal with, no worries. Keith

[quote name='Pbassred' post='43264' date='Aug 9 2007, 01:51 PM']If you had to suggest one CD which summed up upright bass what would it be? Not necceseraly a famous bassist's album or the flashiest playing. Just examples of how UB fits ( or artisticly melts) into a band.[/quote] Scott Lafaro with Bill Evans, "Waltz For Debby" or "Sunday At The Village Vanguard". I can't decide which one, or could it be Oscar Peterson "Night Train" with Ray Brown? Or Isreal Crosby with Ahmad Jamal at the Pershing Or maybe Christian McBride "Gettin To It" Or Major Holley with Kenny Burrell on "Midnight Blue" Or Oscar Pettiford Or Whims Of Chambers etc. Sorry I can't suggest just one, but what about a thread for recommended listening, or swaps?

Thought this might be of interest to some of you. [url="http://www.curtisnovak.com/vintage/JazzBass59/"]Herbie Flowers Jazz Bass[/url]
