Stuart had one of my favourite pedals (Sadowsky premap) for sale at a great price. Great comms, easy transaction. He was also very flexible with sending the pedal due to me being away. No problems at all and highly recommended. Thanks again.

Bought an EBS Black Haze 2 pedal from Dan in what was a simple, easy and speedy transaction. Great comms and the pedal was packaged very nicely. Very much recommended. Thanks again.

Just bought a Boss tuner from Paul. We live near and ended up meeting in a parking lot for the transaction. Lovely chap and a very easy transaction. Thanks again and hope the match went well.

Same here.

Hi, I was fortunate to take over from the wonderful Pete. The band is great and the hang is great too. Very grateful to Pete and the band for the seamless transition.

Would you like a broom with that statement? I disagree with this. Like you, I take the boy scout attitude of "be prepared" and go to gigs with extra basses, leads, amp heads, stings etc... because I am a pro. The pros I play with are the same and cover themselves and others. We have saved each other's skins and gigs many times and enjoy doing so. I find it's those that think they are pro that don't actually behave as a pro. Yes there are exceptions, and I'll conceded that. I've just started a big pro theatre gig and am joyous in the professionalism of the group and crew. I found it difficult to stay out of the way and not help as the crew are so competent. I just show up with my basses, pedal board, leads and IEM and off we go. Lots of great compliments from returning fans so it must be working.

John made up some great cables for me. Top quality stuff. Thanks again.

I bought Ru's Lakland DJ4. Nice bass as described. Very easy, quick transaction with great comms and quick delivery. Thanks again.

I bought a pedal from Nigel. Really smooth transaction. Great coms and parcel sent quickly. Very many thanks.

I bought one of these for a Hohner B2B. https://www.thomann.de/gb/steinberger_guitars_stadb04_adapter_4string_bk.htm Gives you more string options.

There is one on fleabay, says it's in Bristol. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/K-K-Bass-Max-Upright-Bass-Double-Bass-Transducer-UK-stock-/202645394523 Other than that, I used to get them from Thomann.

Can the tweeter be switchable (on/off)?

I bought a set of these https://www.thomann.de/gb/presto_balance_hybrid_34l.htm They're a steel string but not too stiff/too much tension. I tried them on one bass and they now live on my EUB and make it sound/feel very DB like. They're a little fatter feeling than spirocores and they bow ok too. Good price. Read the review on Thomann and see if they might work for you.

Looking at the pics, the tail wire is worse for wear, the end pin looks like it has tape or something around it, and the bridge is quite a way out of place on the front. You might want to ask for more pics showing if the sound post is in place, fingerboard close ups, headstock to see if there were repairs etc... He does say collection only and for cash so if you go and it's rubbish you can walk away. Travelling a distance for the right DB is not uncommon. Looking at this one, you'll ask yourself if it's worth the journey.

I found having that having a portable eub (BSX Allegro 5), it gets transported fully assembled in a gig bag. Taking it apart just for space was a pain...time consuming and dealing with getting it back in tune in a short amount of time etc.... I only took it apart when flying, maybe twice. You may want to try some different eubs if you can. I know times are difficult right now but maybe ask the community if anyone near you has anything different to what you have, given the potential cost you're about to incur :-)

I bought Paul's Hohner B2B bass. Great comms and was willing to ship to the continent. Bass arrived well packed and safely even though I goofed up my address in a senior moment 😂. Thanks again for the very easy and straightforward deal. Pleasure to deal with.

Looks fab. Great job. 👍

Or any other bossa style song. There are loads of them.
