Just bought a new bow so will accept £275 posted.
-
Bloopdad1's advice is sound. Those old ply basses can work out great for hardly any money. I'll add, definitely ask for the dimensions before checking it out. Either that door in the pic is massive or it's a lot smaller than full size.

Had a few comments that my price is way too high.
A new bow will cost 465 USD (about £350) incl shipping from String Emporium in the USA. Then you have to add UK import taxes (VAT, duty, fees) as it's coming from outside the EU. The total cost new will be around £430.
£300 seems reasonable to me (approx 2/3 cost of a new one). If it doesn't sell I'll just hold onto it as another spare.

Hi there,
Does it have the original hair?
Thanks
Yes, it's the original hair, it's still got plenty of bite so you won't need a rehair anytime soon imo

Great condition carbon bow with case. This is the upgraded brown stick version (although the brown only shows through in certain light). IMO the best bow you can get for this kind of money, it has great balance & a punchy direct sound. Would make a top notch bow for a beginner or a great second bow for a professional. I've been using this one on West End shows & for orchestral tours abroad when I can't bring my main bow. Selling to fund another wooden bow.

I've got too many bass stools & no gigs to use them on. Excellent comfy adjustable stool used as used by top orchestras & studios (Abbey Road has a full set of these). Condition-wise, it's missing a plastic foot on one of the legs & there's a small hole in the upholstery but nothing that affects performance.
*WITHDRAWN FROM SALE*

Apologies mods if this isn't ok.
Selling great U47 like mic in the other forum. Sounds incredible on double bass.

Excellent condition CM47 tube mic, complete with power supply, shockmount, cables, windshield & case. Superb sounding mic on double bass & bass cabinets. My other half has also used it on her tenor sax for a few albums. Selling as upgrading to another Advanced Audio mic.
Info from Advanced's website-
Advanced Audio CM47
The Advanced Audio CM47 is a large dual-diaphragm, multi-pattern, tube condenser microphone inspired by the famous U47. The CM47 is a great choice for vocals, saxophones, acoustic instruments, and excels in front of bass and guitar amps.
Capsule
The Advanced Audio CM47 features our very accurate and smooth AK67 capsule, a 35mm capsule with 6-micron-thick German mylar diaphragms. Its frequency response falls between those of the U47 and U67 vintage tube microphones. The AK67 capsule goes down another ½ octave before rolling out, compared to the K47 capsule. The CM47 also has more “air” or “sizzle” above 10kHz, allowing it to cut more easily through busy mixes without adding EQ.
Circuit
The circuit is based on the very hifi 6072 tube optimized with a two-stage Class A design.
This circuit provides a much lower output impedance with more headroom than the circuit used in the original U47. The lower output impedance provides a faster damping factor when driving the BV8 type transformer, delivering a better transient response than the original design.
Selected 6072a tubes are some of the quietest tubes made, and are much less susceptible to microphonics than the metal-clad vf14 tubes used in the original U47 tube microphone.
The dual-bobbin output transformer with its hum bucking configuration and our optimized circuit will deliver +20dBu with less than 1% distortion.
The output transformer is driven with a 2.2 ufd metal-film capacitor to take advantage of the transformer’s response down to 10Hz.
Specifications:
- 1.07” (35mm) dual 6-micron German mylar diaphragm AK67 capsule
- 9 selectable pickup patterns remotely switched from the power supply
- Dual bobbin BV8 (6.5:1 ratio) output transformer
- 6072a tube Class A dual stage (CCDA)
- Frequency response: 25Hz to 20kHz +/–3dB
- Noise: -17dB (A-weighted)
- Impedance: < 200 ohm
- Distortion: < 0.5% @128dB
- Output: +20dBu with less than 1% distortion into 1.2K load
- Robust shock mount that threads onto microphone bod
- Flight case.

I'm not sure. Laklands have 3+2 headstocks so you'll probably struggle to twist the d string the other way without breaking it, regardless of length.

Brilliant tiny lightweight 600w amp. 2 independent channels that can also accept mics via the included XLR to balanced jack adapter. 48V phantom is available on both channels. Condition is as new, it's only ever been used for a few rehearsals. I always go DI straight to the desk on gigs & given that all my work's completely dried up thanks to the pandemic, I can't see myself using this anytime soon. Includes all the original packaging.

Add a Fulltone Fat Boost to the list. Not sure what the current version is like but I used to have a v1 that sounded epic with a p bass with flats.

Definitely neck first, better visibility & it's less likely to attack you if you get a bit racey in left handers. Neck between the seats is good too but in both cases put the bass on its back if room allows, much more stable.
