I have one these fellas and I really like it - with some TI flats on it does a great impersonation of my double bass and is a lot easier to play and carry round.

Joined a Big Band on bass.. getting a good sound?
haruki replied to Caz's topic in General Discussion
Congrats on getting a big band seat. I made a similar move a few years ago and have not looked back. I really like the way its improved my sight reading and general musical skills and forced me to play different types of music. Though some of the numbers are a bit cheesy - can you play 'Wheels' and keep a straight face? I've actually gone from bass guitar to double bass - which has gone down well with the band - but sound wise adds another layer of problems. My solution to stage sound has been to be to put something close to my ear off the ground (1x10) so I can hear myself without too much feedback and then park another speaker somewhere nearer the front of stage . Its a bit clunky but seems to have worked. Some band members are also good at letting me know if I'm too quiet ..or too loud. -
TC BC208 2x8 Bass cab. In excellent condition – about a year old. Its great little cab but I have just too much stuff. · Rated power: 200 watts · Impedance: 8 ohms · 2x8" sound custom drivers · Connections: 2 x 6.3 mm jack · Dimensions: (W x H x D): 262 x 546 x 315 mm · Weight: 10.4 kg Pick up from North Essex – happy to explore options to meet up. If you wanted the tiny TC BAM 200 head as well I would let that go for £65….but only if it goes with the cab.

Set of lightly used Helicore Hybrid Strings 3/4 Light tension HH610L. I tried them on my bass for a couple of months - but I've been having a bit of string swapping fever and these perfectly good string are now surplus. Even got the original packaging...seen here resting on the sofa after a gentle pluck. Say £65 posted to UK

I bought it off somebody on basschat a few years back - forget who - I think he may have been in Ireland. but not sure where he got it from

Yes Ive got an older that I got s/h on here. It looks a bit like this https://bacchus-guitar.com/node/3421 but with Bartolini pickups. I've got it strung with TI flats and use in either nig band/jazz trio and odd musical. I love it - its my goto 4 string - build quality is great and the feel is just spot on for me.

They are amazing instruments.... Funnily enough my double bass teacher is better known for her nyckelharpa playing - she's a great all round musician and plays all kinds of things (swedish bagpipes anyone) but her music degree was on double bass........ http://www.swan-dyer.co.uk/n

Hi Marino I'm near Dunmow/Stansted/Saffron Walden area - I'll send you a pm bw martin -
Romanian Reghin 3/4 double bass £1000 £950....small price dropette Solid wood flat backed 3/4 sized double bass which I believe was made sometime in the 60’s. Marked with yellow label Musikinstrumentenfabrik Reghin Romania. Solid wood front back and sides (ie not ply I am informed) with ebony fingerboard and tail piece. It has a good quality adjustable bridge and endpin from Martyn Bailey who set up the bass. The bass is in good shape for its age - no cracks, splits or earlier repairs - just the usual surface scratches/dings. It’s a really solidly built instrument that is ready to play now . It was my first carved bass and its done a great job in a big band setting and in smaller groups. Currently strung with newish D’addario Zyex and works ok for pizz and with bow. Note pickup not included. There is a case but tbh its pretty minimalist and will include a double bass stand I’m based North Essex/Cambridge way if you want to try it out. ...as for trades...well Im interested in trying a cello

James Baker Classical Guitar – Made in England (well Hackney to be precise) £600 Handmade classical guitar which I’ve had from new (about 25+ years ago) made by a chap called James Baker – he didn’t make a lot of guitars but there are a few around and he a had a good reputation amongst English makers. I think he has subsequently moved to Ireland. I seem to remember him saying this was one of his graduation pieces – its got some nice little decorative touches. It has an unusual combination of woods – cedar top and cypress back and sides – more like a flamenco. Its very light and produces clear bright tone and is pretty loud.. The nut width is a smidge narrower than many so would suite somebody with smaller hands – though I’ve played it ok with my fat fingers for many years. There a some scratches and marks on the top but these are purely cosmetic. Structure is fine and its never given me a problem. I don’t want to courier but your welcome to try in North Essex or I can bring into central London or meet up somewhere convenient.
