Mr Bassman

Yep

Just said goodbye to an old friend. Gone to a good home.

What does the blue bass weigh Dave?

Forgot about this.

I have 2 PJB C4 cabs which match the D600 perfectly, could be persuaded to let them go and keep the C6

Are the sidedots at the usual spots? And with no signature, you mean no stripe of masking tape?

Yes, dots on spots and masking tape

Side dots look like mother of pearl, need better light for photos

There's no signature, It could be the first fretless 5 string. Although some one claims theirs is the first on the Wal database, this predates it.

This was the demo bass which I had the pleasure of trying out in the presence of Ian Waller. I later purchased it from Pete in 1990 after he made a new neck for it.

Sorry to be 'that bloke', but is there a weight on this please?

Thanks.

Not bad for a Wal at 11lbs

I've got one of these original '64 cabs complete with dolly (minus original speaker) in the back of my garage.

I've been on the look out for an amp to go with it for about 25 years

The guy I got it from threw the amp out as he thought it was too old technology!

Thanks MB1

since deciding to keep this lovely instrument about a year ago I've found something more suited to my needs, so back up for grabs she goes

May consider px with a Rob Allen solid or other or Kolstein Travel Bass Mk11

Here's another pic

Always wanted one of these Chris, but sadly I couldn't lift one now.

I love the Labella black nylon tape wound on my Rob Allen mouse.

My '82 fretless Steiny sounded good with Labella flats but sounds even better with Labella S660 black nylon tape wound 60 - 115

Finally got a set of La Bella S660 Black Nylon to try on the L2.

I can't use them as the silk windings are too long and protrude over the bridge saddles and nut.

I've messaged La Bella about the issue, anyone else had similar probs?

If you can get one for £100 why not try it for yourself.

I got a 1/2 size a couple of years ago to experiment with, it was a cheapish Antonio and was unplayable out of the box, but after some work to the fingerboard, nut & bridge I got it playable and sounding nice with D'addarios

The neck was too skinny for me, I was going to fatten it up with a 1/4" shim under the fingerboard but a good friend liked it as it was and bought it.

It was a doddle to carry one handed.

I still think a decent quality 1/2 size (39") would be be a good choice for anyone using public transport or a small car. If using amplification a good sound can be achieved.

If you've got £3k Clarky is selling his Kolstein Travel Bass https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=898007286912927&set=gm.1686583471561323&type=1&__mref=message_bubble

AS for the crazy 8,looks interesting but would really want to try first,most reviews seem to be from builders rather than users!

I had two Wizzy 10's but I was never happy with the sound unless at very low volume.
The Eden might be worth a punt if you could return it.
I like 8" speakers, having owned a SWR 2x8 which was superb, even with low B string, an Ampeg 2x8 SVT100T combo, and currently I've got a Genz Benz Shuttle 3 8T
I also like Phil Jones cabs and cant't decide which I prefer yet, 8" or 5" but I'm considering trying the Faital Pro 8" that is used in the Crazy 8

Kolstein Heritage or Zyex light work for me.

Hated the Honeys

Update on the Mouse

Done a few gigs seated with the Mouse in the 2 months since I got it, but last night was the first time I played it standing with a strap.

It was great, balanced really well, no neck dive.

Sounded good through a GKMB150

Sax/guitar/bass trio played to about 60 women on a Ladies Night, had them dancing, no need for a drummer!

I love this bass!

Is it fixed or removable neck?

I won a set and put them to one side, then while my Jazz bass was out of action I needed to use my 62 P for a gig. It had flats on which weren't suitable for the music being played so I put the Elixir on and was really impressed soundness & feel.

Going to try them on my Jazz now it's up and running again.

Thanks to Ped & all involved

Kolstein Heritage or Zyex light

Bump for an amazing instrument!

I've got one, bought as a back up for when I play upright but these versatile basses can cover all styles & sounds

Last bump of the month

This could be the answer if you make some enquiries first.

It looks like the same construction as Stentor Student 1950 model I recommended earlier

I've owned over 20 double basses, don't overlook this because it's inexpensive!

An old thread http://basschat.co.uk/topic/216686-stentor-1950-student-model/

Having been to Gear4music and seen their starter basses I wouldn't recommend one to anyone.

Stentor do a nice student bass, I picked one s/h and with a bit of work to the bridge and some decent strings it plays and sounds great.
