There is an items wanted thread for one of these - should sort you and the other guy (Thor I think)

And another clip, this time of Miroslav Vitous (Jaco's predecessor for those that don't know him in the earliest version of Weather Report). Its arco for three minutes (pretty unlistenable if you ask me), with pizz from that point on. But it does give a representation of the sound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMRkAoGp3H4

If you jump to 6:47 of this video you can see me playing the bass. This extraordinary video was us helping out a Uni student with her final degree piece http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QBLUHlDFK0

Many thanks for the links Keith. I can't believe how lucid my OP appears given I had been out for a heavy (birthday) evening

[attachment=117271:Busetto_Flyer_fb7b9.jpg][attachment=117272:meet folks.jpg][attachment=117273:P1040319.JPG] I got this a year or so ago from Mr_Bassman (Keith). Its aesthetically wonderful, absolutely fantastic to play in the house (superb, rich acoustic sound) and very transportable compared with a full-sized DB. Selling (see post below, dated 2 September) as I want to buy the removable necked version of this lovely instrument for added flexibility on travelling. This bass was previously owned by Dave Swift, Jool's bass player. It has been played by other BC'ers if you want an unbiased third party opinion (eg, Greg, aka gcordez) Comes with padded gigbag and also a hard glass-fibre (I think) hard case. Fitted with Kolstein Heritage steel strings and a choice of Planet Wing or Bassmax pickup. I traded it for an Eminence with Mr_Bassman as part of a complex deal at an assumed value of £3,000 and I am after the same value given the rarity of this bass this side of the pond. Here is my bass being played by Dave Swift, who owned it before Mr_Bassman [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2jCG3ZR3wg[/media] Her's the stock page from the Kolstein shop in NYC: [url="http://www.kolstein.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=KMI&Product_Code=1LTB12&Category_Code=bass"]http://www.kolstein....egory_Code=bass[/url] Here it is in a vid shoot: [url="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=462733170405486&set=a.462732893738847.108916.134661549879318&type=3&theater"]http://www.facebook....&type=3[/url]

I have a broadneck (20mm spacing) 5 string Warwick Thumb 5 BO that I am selling (£1000 ono) as I just don't "get" 5 strings. I am well sorted for basses and amps but could do with a portable quality EUB for busy London gigs/rehearsals where schlepping the doghouse along is impractical. My good BC friend Mr_Bassman rates the SLB200 as does the super player Chris Minh Doky, so I wondered if anyone fancies a p/x (with cash adjustment). Failing that a similar quality 4-string EUB (not a NS/Steinberger though as they look a bit pogo stick to me and my band likes the whole DB visual vibe), eg, Eminence, Kania da Gamba or possibly Clifton.

... or trade against a Yamaha SLB200 EUB?

[quote name='Bassman Steve' timestamp='1342614876' post='1737882'] It wouldn't have been fair to keep it open for me while I check things (cabinet dimensions) with a definite sale pending. I'll catch the next one. Enjoy that amp!!! [/quote] Thanks Steve, you are a gent

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1342614680' post='1737879'] Oh really...? [/quote] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3C6Utr027QY"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3C6Utr027QY[/url]

Looks like I was too slow as I am second in line. Sorry Kirky
