Man, you have some nice basses! Is the PJ the custom shop special from 2012? - never seen one except on the Fender website. Our wateroftyne will be drooling over that one!

Hey Steve, glad that you have found your sound with Acoustic Image - wonderful amps/combos for DB. Which combo did you get? Contra or Ten2?

Thanks! Here it is being played upright in a jazz stylee (not me!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjQHbU-n1wU

And a very extensive review of the TB10 fretless (which is identical bar having a tube in the preamp) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKEtECsF8To

Here's a guy showing how it can be played upright in a 'heavy Western' style take (from the very excellent Phillious Williams): [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bjPMgoUX94"]https://www.youtube....h?v=1bjPMgoUX94[/url]

I have owned this beautiful bass for a year or so, bought from Beedster. Its an ultra-high quality Takamine bass that delivers a very upright like tone and can even be played on a brass endpin (comes with the bass). The neck is heavily radius'd, like a double bass, and very chunky and it is wearing LaBella black nylon strings. Its in immaculate condition. I am after £1300 collected in London - it has a very heavy hard case and I have since acquired (for over £120) a padded, semi-rigid cello case which means it can be easily slung on back and taken to gigs/rehearsals. The bass will come with both cases hence I am after it collected (live nr Hammersmith, work nr Liverpool Street, rehearse in New Cross). Cash only, no trades please as I have enough bass and DB gear! The near-identical (bar slightly different preamp) TB10 is £2054 new at GAK (when in stock) which obviously doesn't include the gig-friendly cello case, so this is a net saving of more than £850 on new for the package Stock photo here: [attachment=129380:TAKAMINE_B10.jpg] Close up showing how big the body is (not my bass but identical): [attachment=129381:PB042204.jpg] Video of me playing the bass here: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuaFpXdnJyU[/media]

Here's another Nige. €2100 or about £1800 new. You did good, hanging on to your one matey [url="http://www.doctorbass.net/en/producto.asp?id=1000171925&idfam=1000166929"]http://www.doctorbass.net/en/producto.asp?id=1000171925&idfam=1000166929[/url]

Had you put this one up FS first Harry I would have had this off you rather than the Micro, especially at the same price!

Sid-tastic!

For a long time I played Silver Slaps and really loved them. I switched to Spiro Weich (after experimenting with various other strings) but recently had a hankering for an earthier sound after listening to a lot of Scott LaFaro .... so I bought a nearly-new set of Silver Slaps on BC for £45. Well hind-sight is rose tinted and I quickly discovered I definitely prefer the Spiros on my old 3/4 bass. So I am selling the Silver Slaps on, less £5 for the small amount of additional silk fraying caused by fitting and removing again. So £40 posted for a good, but not pristine, set of Silver Slaps anyone?
