New Spiro Mittel G £10 including postage. -
I have a set of unused and mint Spiro Mittels. I have had them as spares for a while in old packaging but they are mint and no different from those you’d buy today, at a fraction of the price. £90 posted. -
Secure the toddler to the wall.

I’ve just read on the ‘other’ forum that while John Clayton was in NYC receiving a Lincoln Center award his house was burned down in the fires. One of the basses destroyed once belonged to Ray Brown which he played on several Oscar Peterson albums. Heart goes out.

You can find them on line as short speaker stands. I made a platform from 10mm ply, hole sawed four holes to sink the speaker feet into and put the cab on top. Or if your cab has a top hat underneath you can simply stick the 35 mm pole up it.

My playing days are over so I’m offering for sale my gorgeous Bryant small Panormo DB. I’ve owned it from new and although it has supported me well over hundreds of gigs it’s been well looked after and today’s photo will show that it’s in great condition. Shortly after purchase Laurence Dixon did an excellent jazz set up including a new bridge. It’s strung with the original Spiro Mitts and fitted with David Gage Lifeline pickup. Protected by soft cover from T&G Martin. Also available with the bass by separate negotiation and at a bargain package price is the signal chain and peripherals comprising:- Broughton Audio HPF/DI with variable impedance, vari HPF, phase reverse - the best! Tecamp Puma 500 amp and carry case Euphonic Audio 10” Wizzy Cab Cab adjustable height stand K&M bass stool iPad holder and stand RAT cantilever music stand Various gig bags, leads and plugs. Happy to discuss, provide further info via PM.

Depends how you -and others- value your sound. I’d never go to a gig without HPF and impedance matching.

The standard one takes approx 11mm. I say approx because there’s quite a bit of latitude in the tightening. All the ‘non Gage’ pickup jacks can be accommodated. -

I am doing a short run of my Jack clip. It gives the pickup Jack a firm fixing on the tailpiece. So firm that you can insert the Jack plug one handed. Superior to a cable tie or Velcro and an improvement on the clip that goes on the strings afterlength. Back in the day Tony Bennett’s bass player had a couple off me and was very happy. Please specify whether you have a conventional silver jack or a black David Gage; the diameters are slightly different. Nine quid should do it including postage UK.

My work colleagues once bought me some silver cufflinks. Cello silver cufflinks.

It’s Broadway, not Roadway but I can’t edit it. Sorry ‘bout that. -
I bought this for my DB, it made a small improvement in some situations. But it’s particularly effective with EUBs with piezo pickups. It gives the signal added resonance and brings it to life. Can be used with all instruments using a piezo pu, such as acoustic BG. £45 posted.

It’s called networking. Always a good investment whether you get paid or not.

Underwood double bass pickup now surplus to requirements. £105 posted

This mic will clip on to most instruments- acoustic guitar, double bass, sax, drums etc and will send a clear signal to backline or house. Requires phantom power. Very little use. £100 posted.

bars and bars and bars… reminds me of the pit percussionist who had rests and rests and rests on his sheet. So much that he briefly nodded off and when he came to he lost his place but thought it must be about now. So he grabbed a beater and struck the adjacent gong with a massive reverberating sound. Which stopped the whole orchestra. He turned round, bowed to the audience and announced ‘Dinner is Served’ in sonorous tones. sorry, carry on the discussion.

I didn’t know anyone else had one of these in UK. Believe me, it’s an amazing piece of kit and performs just as well as a Felix over one channel.- 1 reply

Yes, keep one. I’m well past it and will probably never play ever again. But I’ve got one bass, one amp and one cab. And a few leads. Otherwise I might suffer a crisis of finality.
