    Keith sent me a double bass pickup that I was after and refused to take payment. KInd and generous and one of BC's real gents

    Cheers Marc. They will be winging their way to you very soon

    These strings are about a year old and have years of life on them but the silks are a little tatty, especially the D, having been on and off my basses a few times while I have been on the usual 'string odyssey' (why [i]are[/i] Spiro silks so fragile?). The silks are not of course integral to the integrity and tone of these highly-thought-of strings and you won't notice the fraying when in the peg-box! Anyway these are £126 + post from Thomann so how about less than half price, at £55 posted?

    Just spotted that long(ish) time TC Electronic endorser Chris Minh Doky has switched to MarkBass amps for his upright and electric rigs. For his acoustic gigs he is now using a Mini CMD121P combo - as do I, but there the similarities end! In case anyone was interested! http://www.markbass.it/artist_detail.php?id=1207

    [quote name='EliasMooseblaster' timestamp='1401361432' post='2462782'] I'm always impressed by how well your singists pull off those harmonies in a live setting - even with laryngitis, Laura sounds better than a lot of singers I've heard live! [/quote] Thanks Ralph! Hope New Cross Inn was fun

    If you buy this bass, i won't make you listen to this album [attachment=163820:wancas.jpg]

    Putting this search on hold for time being. I am going to try matching Evah Weich EAD with the Oliv G and see how I get on. I have tried Kolstein Heritage EAD but doesn't quite work and Spiros are too growly to match IMHO

    You are too kind John and Nick!

    Mr_Bassman is after one of these. I could meet you (I am just south of Hammersmith Bridge so only a few miles from you) and send it on as I have packing materials if he wanted to go ahead. I will PM him

    [quote name='paulmcnamara' timestamp='1401107188' post='2460067'] Bump for a great looking Jazz! ATB, Paul. [/quote] Thanks Paul! In response to enquiries, I live in West London and work nr Liverpool Street station. The good lady is not keen on me having people round to view instruments (after a burglary) so I am happy to meet somewhere in London and have an unplugged inspection. You would have to take my word for it that the bass sounds superb - my 9 pages of feedback should tell you I am trustworthy and you could also ask previous owner Old Horse Murphy.

    This is ideal for playing at very high volumes and the microphonic design means it picks up fingerboard noise too so it's favored by rockabilly types as well as loud bands Here is quite frankly a very scary video of a man playing one! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0ALgX8WnwY

    No worries - bit of a hike from Dorset!

    Tonight. Free entry and there's a BBQ preceding it too!

    A video from the same gig, again thanks to the lovely Bluejay! Our dark-haired singer Laura had laryngitis so its great she managed to pull this off (which is why its got me speaking at the beginning, telling everyone it will a shorter-than-usual set) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlTVaiO7bL8&feature=youtu.be

    Thanks Peter but in this case I did have ADG Oliv on my 3/4 flatback bass a year or so back and loved the sound (even the A). I got fed up with having to re-tune all the time and sold them. Now this bass is just for home use (I gig my downsized Kolstein) I am happy to put up with the tuning instability

    About 7-9 London musicians will be paying homage (for the second time) to alt-country heroes Uncle Tupelo, with yours truly on bass duties. Onstage at 8pm I believe http://windmillbrixton.co.uk/listings/events/25-may-14-the-songs-of-uncle-tupelo-the-windmill/

    These have the reputation as one of the best and woodiest sounding mag pickups for DB. I only bought it a month or so ago for a belt-and-braces approach to amplifying my downsized Kolstein travel bass but have since found an Underwood works beautifully. Hence I am moving this on. It came from Gollihur's in the US and cost me about £150 or so including import duty and delivery but will let it go for £110 posted as the buyer will need to get some 3M Dual Lock tape to attach to the end of their bass fingerboard (I used it all and it's not reusable). Should set you back less than a tenner on Amazon.

    Bought a nice gut DB string from Chris. Friendly as ever and speedy posting too

    I just popped an Oliv G back on my 3/4 bass and - stuff the tuning instability issues - it sounds and plays wonderfully. Think I want to match it with an Oliv D and - rather than shell out for a new one - wondered if any of the august BC double bass-playing community happens to have one in good condition (no breaks in windings, separation etc) they are looking to sell? If so, please drop me a PM

    [quote name='steve-soar' timestamp='1400928671' post='2458225'] Why on earth is this bass still here? Bargain. [/quote] Hey Steve, long time no speak! Yep, you will be hard pushed to find a better sounding passive Jazz. The chap I bought it from might be taking it back if one of his sales goes through but he told me to keep it up FS in case he can't raise the moolah. In his words its the best sounding Jazz he has owned (and he has owned CS amongst others)
