  1. 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]
  2. [quote name='geoffbassist' timestamp='1453115899' post='2956410'] Chris is a great player/seller so if you are looking for a French bow I would check this out. :-) [/quote] Cheers Geoff!
  3. Also check out Joel Quarrington's exercises, a lot of which is based around Petracchi. Lots of v useful stuff all in a cheap pdf download. [url="http://joelquarrington.com/store/"]http://joelquarrington.com/store/[/url]
  4. Petracchi - Simplified higher technique
  5. Same here, only my main bass has a name. He was made by a guy called Tarantino, so naturally his name is Quentin!
  6. And the new year de-clutter continues... D'addario Kaplan heavy set, approx 6 months use - £50 Thomastik Belcanto G, brand new sealed - £20 2 x Pirastro Original Flatchrome C ext - £20 each
  7. 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]
  8. 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*
  9. 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]
  10. 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.
  11. Thomastiks gone. GHS £20 posted
  12. Hardly used, 5 string set cut for a Stingray 5 headstock (4+1) GHS Precision flats 45/65/85/105/126 £20 posted *SOLD*
