    Beautiful cobalt blue jazz 5 from the Fender Custom Shop. Got this in a recent trade & whilst it's a stunningly good bass, I'm in the process of buying a new double bass and need some funds to go towards it. [u]Specs[/u] Made in 2011 Ash body Birdseye maple neck Rosewood board with blocks & binding Fender noiseless pickups J-retro preamp (original Fender active pre is included too) Ramp (removed at present) C & G case with all case candy (CS certificate, leather strap, strap locks, manuals, tags, picks etc) Weight is 9.6lbs 19mm bridge spacing 1.875" nut width Condition-wise, the neck is spotless. On the front of the body there are 2 v small nicks in the lacquer & the back has the usual surface marks associated with a proper gigging bass. You're more than welcome to come round for a cuppa & try out the bass in Catford, SE London. I won't post this but I do travel often with my work, so may be able to deliver in person depending on where you are. £1750 ono *No trades please* [attachment=210263:DSCF1727.jpg] [attachment=210264:DSCF1731.jpg] [attachment=210265:DSCF1732.jpg] [attachment=210266:DSCF1728.jpg] [attachment=210267:DSCF1733.jpg] [attachment=210268:DSCF1734.jpg] [attachment=210269:DSCF1735.jpg]

    Same here, only my main bass has a name. He was made by a guy called Tarantino, so naturally his name is Quentin!

    Top of the range pickup from Schertler from a couple of years ago. It's in as new condition (I just don't really use it anymore) & sounds miles better than the standard Dyn-b pickup. Can be used on any string instrument, guitar, mandolin etc. RRP on these was around the grand mark when they were available. *NOW SOLD* [attachment=208707:FullSizeRender.jpg] [attachment=208708:IMG_1023.JPG]

    Good quality student bow made in Germany under the W Seifert brand. Nicely balanced with a weight around 136g (no idea how accurate my scales are but it doesn't feel overly light or heavy). You're welcome to try it out in London SE6 or I can easily post within the UK. *SOLD*

    Emanuel Wilfer 5 string swell back made in Germany in 1999. Excellent condition (maintained by Laurence Dixon). 109cm string length. Even sound across all registers with a powerful low B. Equally good in orchestral & jazz settings (v punchy pizz!) Used professionally in various orchestras & theatre pit bands over the last couple of years. Only selling as my main instrument has 4 strings with extension & I need something similar. *SOLD* Based in SE London Wilfer website - [url="http://www.contrabass.de/e_index.html"]http://www.contrabass.de/e_index.html[/url] [attachment=207675:DSCF0930.JPG] [attachment=207676:DSCF0929.JPG]

    Those look like very nice basses indeed but I'd be wary of stumping up that amount of cash when you haven't played any of his work before. There's a wealth of amazing instrument makers here in the uk. If I was in the market for a brand new instrument, I'd be talking to Roger Dawson & Laurence Dixon. There's also Martin Penning who's a bit closer to you in Somerset.
