Needs must (and I am not prepared to sell my ACG Recurve), so this one-off beauty is back up FS

Going for the One. Just for the opening bars of Parallels alone, let alone the rest

Michael League demo'ing the same model as yours, Essential Tension

I bought a set of DB strings from Andy. Perfect in every respect - friendly comms, well packed and kept informed every step of the way. Nice one matey!
-
ooh thats lovely. I drooled for ages over the TV yellow version of this model that was at BassDirect around a year back. Funds were not forthcoming at that point so I missed it, boo!

I have an AI Clarus and - as others have said - it sounds better with DB, likewise I at one time had an EA Micro 550 which was better with DB. HOWEVER, in each case this can be rectified simply via a warm-sounding preamp (eg Sansamp BDDI, MXR M80, EBS ValveDrive, etc etc) or overdrive pedal (TC Mojo comes highly recommended on BC for a low cost option, or Darkglass Vintage Microtubes for pricier option). I have an EBS Valvedrive (valve-driven preamp) and this helps my my electric bass sound fab through the AI.

*SORTED* Anyone selling a set of Silver or Golden Slaps?

I know this could go in Items Wanted but I have a feeling few people read that forum. My preferred strings are Pirastro Perpetual steel (like a softer, more flexible Spirocore) but I may be playing some fast country/cowpunk stuff with a new band and I think the super low tension of Silver/Golden Slaps will suit that specific setting better. So does anyone have a spare set they want to sell (not the Super SIlvers BTW, only the regular Silver or Golden Slaps, thanks)? Cheers

Always wanted to try a Gretsch Broadkaster (MIJ around 10 years ago) and have finally snaffled one. Short scale thumpy with flats on and should work well in my country/blues tinged bands.

If anyone is into matching pairs of basses, you could buy this beauty and a near-identical Passion 3 fretless currently FS at BassDirect http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Vigier_Passion_Series_III_Amber.html -
Wonderful design by Rolf Spuler RIP -

Need a backup @jazzyvee ? -
My acoustic/Americana/blues outfit live from Upton Blues festival a couple of weeks ago. This time I am playing a Takamine TB10 on an endpin, rather than the fully monty DB. The video is embedded on the page https://wilybo.com/acoustic-band-videos/1982-2/

Nick bought some DB strings off me. Friendly comms, prompt payment. All good!
-
Great that they worked out for you 😁

US made piezo pickup with basic ziplock attachment cable for bridge. Similar to well-known K&K Bass Max but without the neat bridge fixing. Bought as a backup and never used. The very last thing in my double bass drawer clear-out! £42 posted (which is less than half the Bass Max' ~£110-120 price tag ... and also less than the £55 I sold one of these for on BassChat in 2011!)

Another vote for Hemispheres and Permanent Waves. Which is two
