This is an excellent mic set-up which - at the current US$ rate - would cost you closer to £400 to put together. If you are a mic aficionado, then this is a very good deal for a super transparent sound which a number of DB posters on Talkbass reckon is better than the 'gold standard' DPA4099 mic.

This bass is now sold

Cheers Gareth! It does sound fab and its a YOB bass too which was an added attraction for me. I just can't get comfortable with the short scale and 'old school' action, though

Saturday bump. As stated, happy to listen to cash offers PS, as the linked post points out it has the most mojo'd original case ever (held together by a leather belt wrapped around it!) I would post in this inside bubble wrap and then inside a cardboard box

I know I have said it before but I honestly think I have finally found my string nirvana (Spiro Weich EA and gut DG) Hence am moving on this lovely set of strings which is very nearly as nice as the aforementioned Its a combination of Garbo Light EAD and a Garbo Gut G. All are in very good condition with no breaks/kinks/unwinding - the Lights are probably 2 months old and the Gut G is just 2 weeks old New would cost you well over £200 at Thomann or Bassico when in stock (eg, Thomann is charging £227 plus post for a Garbo Light set). I will sell for £140 posted and consider that an absolute bargain given the quality and condition. So roll up for a very low tension, gut sounding and feeling set

Will listen to near offers in order to move this 51 year-old piece of history on (the bass probably thinks the same of me)

And replied:)

KK are very high quality copies of the Ampeg Baby Bass from the 1960s and this is a nice discount from new price and means no waiting time. Customer service from Kris Kedzior (the West London-based manufacturer) is excellent too. Someone grab this quick (I already have an Ampeg BB before you ask why I don't just snaffle it myself .... )

£27 to you door bump, saving you £13 for the tiniest amount of use

Price drop (having checked out similar listings) to £65 posted

This is what a Senator sounds like (there is also a video on the previous FS thread) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoVoLDjoNog

I bought this only a few weeks ago from BCer guybrush threepwood (aka Craig) who had previously bought it from BC's Owen. After the initial burst of enthusiasm I very quickly discovered that I simply do not enjoy playing short scale basses with medium/high action, however beautiful and retro they may look. It sounds lovely and thumpy but I just don't like the experience of playing it compared with my Jazz bass. Best pics and description are on the previous FS thread and here's a tasty pic Craig took (hope thats OK, Craig?)

Also happy to hand over in London. I would also consider p/x against a US or Japan Fender Precision in sunburst/rosewood neck or oly white/rosewood or maple neck (no other trade offers and no MIM Fenders thanks, sorry but I am a gear snob!)

I have a spare Shadow SH950 dual wing piezo pickup that isn't being used. Its in excellent condition Looks just like this [url="http://www.thestringzone.co.uk/shadow-sh950-double-bass-pickup"]http://www.thestring...ble-bass-pickup[/url] £70 posted in UK
