Gator 2U rack bag. Bought a few years ago but has only had very light use and has been siting in my wardrobe unused. Comfy padded handles, handy pocket in the front and has a strap, nice and light and easy to move around. Does offer a reasonable amount of protection as there is a wooden box under the material exterior. Installation depth is 35cm. All 4 rack screws are present and correct. £20 plus p&p Thank you for looking, please don’t hesitate to ask any questions.

RME Fireface 802 audio interface. In excellent condition. Comes complete with box, manual, USB cable, power cable and installer CD. Brilliant audio interface; sounds nice and clean and rock solid reliability. The only reason for selling is because I have upgraded to the RME UFX II solely for the DURec feature.

Helicore Hybrid Light Tension double bass strings. I got these from Basschat a while ago to try on my bass. While they are great strings and very easy to play, I decided that they weren’t for me on my bass. The strings had been used when I got them and I had them on my bass for a couple of weeks, I would describe them as well used with a reasonable amount of life left in them. If you’re interested in trying these strings then getting these offers you an affordable experiment - unlike buying new! £25 including p&p to mainland UK (other destinations please ask). Thank you for looking, please don’t hesitate to ask any questions.

[font=Verdana][size=3] This is an amazing bass - I had it commission from Bernie Goodfellow and later, as my circumstances changed, sold it to Tor on basschat. Tor is a great guy to deal with and I can fully recommend him and the bass.[/size][/font]

[size=3]Back up for sale is my Paul Bryant Double Bass, soloist model.[/size] [size=3]Paul is well known for making fantastic double basses in the English/Italian style. I’ve been fortunate to commission and own 3 of his basses and each one has been amazing and a delight to play![/size] [size=3]Paul describes his soloist model as,[/size] [size=3]“A great little bass, with classic Italian styling, good for Arco work, jazz, or general gigging. Compact and easy to transport, but with a big sound, a very versatile bass.”[/size] [size=3]I’ve used this bass in all kinds of settings, big classical symphonies, chamber music, solo recitals, recordings, jazz groups of all sorts and music theatre/pit work and I’ve always been very happy with how great it sounds and plays. Also I’m amazed at how the bass holds up against others that are bigger and much more expensive.[/size] [size=3]The particulars for this one are as follows:[/size] [size=3]length of back: 43”[/size] [size=3]string length: 41”[/size] [size=3]rib depth: 8 1/2” (8 3/4’s at the widest point on the lower bout)[/size] [size=3]upper bout: 20”[/size] [size=3]lower bout: 25 1/2”[/size] [size=3]varnish is red, golden, brown[/size] [size=3]swell back of lightly flamed maple (most of Paul’s basses are flat back and plainer wood)[/size] [size=3]sides of medium flame maple[/size] [size=3]neck and scroll of highly flamed maple[/size] [size=3]front of medium grained Sitka spruce[/size] [size=3]comes with a certificate of authenticity[/size] [size=3]In 2013 Paul valued the bass at £7000, so it would be a bit more by now.[/size] [size=3]Sale price is [b]£6150[/b] (sorry no trades)[/size] [size=3]Other Bryant basses and soloist models do come up for sale at lower prices but Paul made different levels of bass and this one is in the top of his range, Paul himself said that this bass was, ‘one of the better ones’.[/size] [size=3]Also this particular bass has several more things going for it; swell back rather than flat (costs a lot more to make in the first place), much more flamed wood than is usual for a Bryant bass, it’s been played in a lot and the sound has really matured and improvement works by Malcolm Healey.[/size] [size=3]The bass comes with a David Gage Realist pick up installed and a light soft case.[/size] [size=3]You’re very welcome to come over and try the bass and any questions please do ask.[/size] [size=3][attachment=248669:front 1.jpg][/size] [size=3][attachment=248670:front 2.jpg][/size] [size=3][attachment=248671:neck 1.jpg][/size] [size=3][attachment=248672:neck 2.jpg][/size] [size=3][attachment=248674:scroll 2.jpg][/size] [size=3][attachment=248675:side 1.jpg][/size] [size=3][attachment=248676:side 2.jpg][/size] [size=3][attachment=248677:back.jpg][/size]
