My bow is a basic model, £150 new - I buffered it with polystyrene in the tube because although ‘technically’ covered by Royal Mail I strongly suspect it would have been a fight to get compensation. I suspect he gets valuable bows in though - may be worth contacting him regarding recommended carriers.

I've just had my bow rehaired by Rob Bray at http://www.braystrings.com/bow-rehair/ , with postage and return via a dedicated cardboard bow tube I bought from thestringzone.com. Fast service and I'm pleased with the coarse-black rehair, and the bow was cleaned too. Recommended!

As an aside, this is surely the first bass with both a '5' and a 'V' in its model number that is not a five string 🤔

Warm Audio WA12 single channel mic and instrument preamplifier. Features 65dB gain, 48v phantom power, polarity reverse, and a ‘tone’ switch between 600 and 150 Ohm impedance. Single XLR mic input, single XLR line out, and Hi-Z 2MΩ TRS input (gorgeous warm tone with my P-bass :). Includes a 24v PSU but no manual. In full working condition. Sorry not looking for trades on this one

Heil PR 40 end-address dynamic mic in ‘champagne’ finish. Excellent mic for double bass recording with solid low frequency response. Only used on a couple of home recordings, selling because my dpa499 can cover the occasional recording as well as live duties. In full working and near mint cosmetic condition, original box, zipper bag and mount included. Sorry not looking for trades this time Sound on Sound review: https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/heil-sound-pr40

Looks perfect for doubling at pub gigs - i.e. finish the set and it doubles as a cribbage board!

Loved listening to her request show in the 80s, came after the Top 40 and was always miles better (both the music and the chat). Introduced me to loads of new tunes and genres. Thanks and RIP Annie x

Stray Cats Runaway Boys - what’s the walk?
Kevsy71 replied to Kevsy71's topic in EUB and Double Bass
Thanks all for checking it out - having listened further, and watched Lee Rocker's lefthand in the video below (starting 1 minute in) I'm going with @jrixn1 - much appreciated! That should be on my tombstone... -
Just started to learn Runaway Boys, and I’m hearing this on the opening walk: Eb Db C Bb Ab Gb F E Seems right to me, although various YouTube play throughs / tab sites have it differently. Any thoughts from the Basschat rockabilly crew..? https://youtu.be/SveJCGB09GU?si=AS8PQjTJ3Gq4gJJg

How do we get rid of the 'Privacy' tab that's now appeared??
Kevsy71 replied to binky_bass's question in Site Issues and Questions
I have the Ghostery Safari extension (macOS) and app (iOS) installed, which removes the privacy floating tab and all adverts. -
Almost GAS free - settled with my bass, amp, cab and DB: only GAS now is for DB gut strings…

Another super-smooth transaction with Paul for my Quilter, as always a pleasure!

NOW £200 POSTED IN UK Tronographic Rusty Box bass preamp Owned from new, ungigged, unmarked and less than an hour home noodling. Nails the Bob Weston tone to my ears, even with a P bass (no aluminium required!) Only selling as I’m focusing on double bass, although I should probably try bowing through the Rusty Box once… Price includes UK tracked postage and accounts for the import fees incurred on original purchase. Payment by BACS or PayPal. Collection also fine (20 mins from J5 M25) for £10 less. No trades or offers thanks Cheers! Kev

EBS Stanley Clarke preamp in excellent condition. Fully working and with original box, PSU and manual. Only used for a bit of home practice blending a DPA mic and bridge piezo - does a fantastic job of taming feedback with LPF and notch options, and you can run both channel strips in parallel (two inputs) or in series for one input. Plus EQ, phase, phantom power, speaker sim options, XLR and TRS inputs/outputs - and as many have written here great for doubling with electric. Only selling as I’ve just bought an Acoustic Image Clarus S4 to go with my AI DoubleShot which has many of the same features. Payment by BACS or PayPal - price includes UK tracked postage. Collection also fine for £10 less, 20 mins from J5 M25. Feedback link in my signature. Cheers Kev

Quilter Bass Block 800 including Quilter bag, manual and UK power lead. Owned from new and used on around 20 gigs. Terrific head with quick and easy tone shaping, 450w@8 Ohms, 800w@4 Ohms and packs quite a punch without clipping! Only selling as I’m now focusing on double bass and have an Acoustic Image Clarus/Doubleshot which should be adequate cover for the odd electric gig. Full working order. Cosmetically good condition, the odd light scratch per photos. Manual has a couple of tears to the back cover but is complete. Note the power plug is included (as is the original USA power cord with a locking interface, in case that can be repurposed on a UK cord), but there is no Speakon cable included. Payment by BACS, or I can issue a PayPal invoice but will add the PayPal fees. Price includes UK tracked delivery, in the original Quilter shipping box. I’ll knock off £15 for collection (about 20 mins from J5 M25). Feedback link in my signature. Cheers! Kev

I found the remains of a piano buried in our garden some years back - the metal frame was taken by a rag'n'bone man who said buried pianos are more common than you'd think!

Sad to hear of Rick Jones’ passing, I’m very pleased with my AI doubleshot and was wondering why Thomson no longer stocked the AI heads I was browsing for. Good to hear the schematics are intended for release.

Hervé Jeanne's terrific "string matrix" site can help, at least with comparing tones...or send you (like me) into an unending loop of comparison-madness: https://www.hervejeanne.de/en/string-matrix
