Arg, just posted this on the wrong section: can a lovely moderator please put it in the amps and cabs section. Thanks.

Rare as hen's teeth on here and absolutely best cabinet I have tried. Brand new made for me by the great guys at Tricky Audio in August, BUT simply too powerful for my upright uses and too difficult to take to the gig in a car which also has a double bass and a band member with several guitars and his amp. I am now getting a crazy 8 from the same maker, which will cover 80% of my needs. These guys are truly great and make a wonderful product. Don't take it from me, search the Internet and find reviews and opinion on the Greenboy fearless. £750 posted in the UK. The sound is absolutely the best sound I have ever had in a loud setting. It is indeed loud and clear beyond its size, like all reviews will say. Again, only selling as too large and powerful for my double bass needs and because I need the money. Happy to trade with small and light cabs like Crazy8, or Phil Jones stuff plus balance my way. Thank you very much. [attachment=206039:IMG_0001.JPG]

Bump at £110

One week old, here's the last remaining item of my clearout. Pirastro Oliv A string, gut inside, luscious flat wound wrap outside. New they cost an eye watering amount of money as you know. I got it one week old off Talkbass only a month ago and never fitted it on my bass.

If you PM me your email I can send you an image of the actual one. And here is the link online to the full description http://www.gear4music.com/Woodwind-Brass-Strings/DISC-Tom-and-Will-3-4-Double-Bass-Gig-Bag-Black-and-Yellow/111U

Sold

The best reproduction of the double bass sound IMO. I and no feedback (at least at humane volumes, drummer included). This stuff is the best, go check out the retail price if you need a coronary. I bought it here a while back for £400, so passing it on with a considerable saving. The system consists of the Schertler DynB contact microphone and the Pre A III acoustic preamp. Some people like to use their own preamp, but Schertler does not recommend it, saying their preamp is optimised for their mics. If you wished to buy only the mic, despite Schertler's advice, that would be £200, and £100 for the preamp. It's the older model, the one without the blue, which is better, cause you don't need phantom power. PS- reason for sale is that my Bryant has gone, so I don't need a mic for a good bass.

Black and yellow. Super protective and in superb condition. One year old, no issues. RRP £225. Get it her for £95

Bump at £40, now in eBay as well, so I shall withdraw or from here.

Blimey! Never seen a bass going this fast! A very eminent classical pro came to my house today and snapped it up for his son who is going to music uni. Less than 24 hours after advertising it! Thanks for the encouraging words everyone. I know I sold it for less than worth, but I'm not a greedy person, that's how much j had paid for it and especially it's going to be played at the standards it deserves.

Down to 80 quid for 4 practically new strings, 2 of which are gut....

Every few years, I convince myself that I need a carved bass. But I don't , I really really don't. I am a plywood player and I enjoy the way plys sound and feel. I drove from Scotland all the way to the genius that is Mr Bryant to get this bass. Paul is a gentleman and a legend: his basses need somebody to play them, not to keep them in the house. So this has to go, plus I need the money real bad. I am told that this bass is valued at 6-7k, but I only want what I paid for it. If you are reading this ad, you already know about Paul's basses, so need for me to go on about it. This Bryant's bass number 107, is a couple of years old and it comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by Paul, of course. This is a large ¾ size orchestral instrument closely modeled on a bass by John Lott, the king of English double bass making. A flat back bass with the characteristic high back angle. A well proportioned instrument with a body length of 113cm. 44.5ins and a string stop of 105cm. 41.4ins A very playable bass. This bass has a back, sides and head of medium figure English sycamore, the front is of medium grain Alpine spruce. Fitted with fine quality Baker style machines. The instrument is covered with golden brown oil varnish. I am in Scotland, happy to drive a bit to meet, and happy for people to come try the bass at my house. Please hit me with questions.

The selling spree continues. Bought on Talkbass last week, apparently only one week old (they do indeed look new apart from the windings areas). on my bass 3 days. Round wound not my thing. Yes it's £40 for the pair so gigantic savings for the regular guy like me who fancies trying real gut at the bottom.

On hold.

Thank you very much mate, well spotted.

Down to £90, priced to sell!

Hi Chris, it's a classic 3/4, and probably at the small end of that field. 41 1/4" scale, 20" upper bout, 26 1/4" lower bout. Honestly the break down and put up are just as quick, but depend on practice. At one point, I was pretty nifty, say about 3 minutes each way (not as quick as some of the guys on youtube), but as I say now I haven't unfolded it for a while. One note, the putting up depends wildly on the strings you have on. At the moment I have G and D gut on it, so it take longer to stretch them in tune. With Spiros, they get and stay in tune in a jiffy.. Drop me a PM, I'll give you a call to discuss if you wish.

Ha ha, come get it Andy!

Sounds like a plywood of very good quality: it's a Shen modified by Chadwick basically. It projects really well acoustically, but when you play it, you may not realise the full extent of how loud it is. In fact, one of the main reasons why I didn't sell it before is that I stood in front of the potential buyer playing it and for the first time actually heard how loud and full it sounds out front. Also, it has extra support inside to allow for folding, which makes it almost immune to feedback, and I'm talking outdoor festivals with monitor playing with an Ehrlund and still no feedback! Plays like your favourite DB, it's well setup to start with, but I did a full luthier trip with it too. Yes of course it can be sent by courier. Hope it helps.

Hi all, I think the time has come to sell my Chadwick Folding bass. It has been played at loads of gigs, but it is in excellent shape. Reason for selling: I have not travelled anywhere with it for 2 years! Basically I bought it after a few long distance gigs forced me to hire instrument (total pain in the neck! Nightmare in fact!!). Well from that day all my gigs have been within 100 miles from home. I can't see that changing to be honest and I could do with the money. This is the website [url="http://foldingbass.com/"]http://foldingbass.com/[/url] As you will see the price is a steal. If you import it from the US, apart from costing you £500 more, it will also incur in a massive amount of tax, if I remember well another £700 for me, taking it to a whopping £1200 circa of savings from my rough calculations. I put this up for sale at the beginning of the year, then changed my mind, but this time I'm pretty convinced. Please get in touch with any queries. Peace & love.

Trade agreement reached, just pending exchanges to take place tomorrow before thread can be closed.
