I've retired from double bass playing, so this has to go. Bought in 2014ish from the US, it's seen lots of home use but hardly ever taken on gigs. I have little to compare it to, but it's always felt very comfortable even on long practice sessions. Small chip on the top side near the adjuster which I've done my best to photograph. Rehaired last month by Adrian Warrick strings in Byfleet. Ebony frog, abalone inlay, ebony adjuster, 69.5cm length, includes case. It's the satin black model on the Finale site : https://www.stringemporium.com/finale-bass-bows.htm Current new price is $480 including shipping, not sure what the import duty would be. I'm asking £230 delivered to mainland UK, if you want to come and try it then I'll knock money off for collection. -
Another jazz one rescued from my Sibelius folder that time forgot. Ray Brown playing very simply (for him, at least) on an F blues, almost everything sits in half position: Full transcription here: Ray Brown F Blues transcription

Welcome, Joe! A question re: your lessons - has your teacher asked you about your goals, and then given you a plan for how he might help you get there? Lessons should definitely be a two-way discussion, but if you feel like you're having to steer things in a particular direction then maybe the balance of effort is not as it should be (if we all knew what to work on and how to practise it then we wouldn't need lessons, right?).

Not a transcription (sorry!), but a lot of my students seem to get easily overwhelmed by set lists for dep gigs, so I made this: Yes, it's common sense, but it's amazing how much time I've wasted running through songs that I've already gigged 100+ times.

Has been sitting on a shelf for over a year so needs a new home where it'll get played! Boxed with instructions. Some scratches on the exterior but otherwise in perfect working order. £140 £120 securely packed and tracked to UK mainland addresses. -

Great pedal but I don't have much use for it these days. No box or manual, but minimal scratches/chips to the body as it's never left the house. £65 securely packed and tracked to UK mainland addresses.

As many have said, he was - for me, at least - the greatest of the greats. I saw him with Hiromi at Ronnie Scotts in 2015ish and was so taken with his focus and ferocity that I immediately bought a ticket for the next night's show so I could do the same thing all over again. Hard to pin down my favourite AJ contributions as his output was so vast and so diverse, but the Michel Camilo (One More Once, Rendezvous) and Chaka Khan (Naughty, What Cha Gonna Do For Me) albums are the ones I keep coming back to. Certainly a man of principles who stuck to his guns in spite of musical trends. Just dug this out and it's possibly even more relevant now than it was in 1992:

Everyone bangs on about the Joni/Jaco era (and rightly so, it was fantastic), but Max Bennett played some great stuff on that record and I feel like he gets very few column inches. 'Edith and the Kingpin' is another great performance.

It's been a minute, sorry. I dug up a transcription I did years ago of John Patitucci demonstrating walking bass on Stella by Starlight and synced it with the clip. Some very useful vocabulary in there that can be stolen for your own purposes: You can download the transcription PDF here: John Patitucci - Stella by Starlight

Sorry, trying to cut down to only one amp! -
This is a great little bit of kit, I have the Apogee Duet too and I can't justify owning two interfaces. Discontinued now, but it works without issue on both my elderly Macbook Pro and my newer M1 Air running iOs 14 (with a USB-C adaptor). Takes a 1/4 inch bass/gtr or an xlr input as well as the built-in mic, so it's ideal for recording - I've used it for online teaching as it's a great way of easily getting my voice and bass into Zoom. A fair few scratches on it and the plastic on the channel indicator has a couple of small cracks, but I've just plugged it in and everything works as it should. £40 securely packed and tracked to mainland UK addresses. -
Looking to sell my Finale carbon fibre bow and I'm unsure of what a reasonable price might be, can anyone give any advice? (I know this should go in the 'Wotzit Werth?' subforum, but I didn't think many people look in there!) I've had it for 10+ years and it's seen a lot of practice and the occasional gig; there's a small chip on the top of the bow near the frog, and it would benefit from a rehair. Pretty sure I bought it from here, where they're listed at $400 + $75 shipping: https://www.stringemporium.com/finale-bass-bows.htm

In the manual it says that outputs 1-5 are 100mA, outputs 6-7 are 200mA, I guess that's a no for the ADAM, then!
