    The quote I got demanded that any instrument be not visible in a vehicle if left unattended, almost impossible!

    How much are people paying for insurance on their double bass?

    Bought this bass off EBay last year, listed as solid wood, took to Sam Wells in Altrincham to have work done on it, he said the front and back are definitely solid wood and the ribs maybe as well? work done was shoot fingerboard (Ebony)and glue a seam and a small crack, adjust sound post, new tail wire and fit new strings, it has Spiro Solos fitted, plays easy and has a good sound, he said I would need to spend about £3000 to get a better sounding bass! even though it is a bit tatty! he didn’t think it necessary to fix the finish lol. Message for any further info and to have a look/play or cup of ☕️! No case, just the bass as seen in the photos

    4/4 Spiro Mitts big improvement on the e string but too much tension, took em off again after a day, solos back on! Might try the Weichs later.

    What physical shape are you in at the moment, particularly in the upper back and shoulders? I injured myself playing 5 years ago and it’s taken me until recently to get back in shape, I had similar pains to you but worse and it was mostly down to muscle wastage and being out of condition, I had to build muscle with exercise in my back and I also learnt to do Chi Kung to gain more flexibility and strength . Another thing that has been very helpful is having a very good physical trainer who is a great massagist and has given me the right exercises to help me play again

    Aye, I’ve had to put lighter strings on while I built my strength up, it did have heavier ones on, I suspect it likes more tension on the top, I’ve got some 4/4 Spiro Mittels coming which should be ok as my string length is only about 41inch so shouldn’t be much more than 3/4 Weich tension wise

    I’m in my living room mate! Unamplified by myself lol

    I probably only play up to the G# on the E string with the very occasional higher note, I’ve just been doing a chromatic exercise on all strings and noticed that the clarity/focus of the notes on the E string is less than the other strings which makes it difficult to find the centre of the pitch, around the middle of the neck and higher in particular it seems the notes are more of a thump than a pitch, is this normal or any one else experience this?

    I had my bass setup a while ago and the Luthier said that it was solid top and back and that the sides may be as well but wasn’t sure, is there a way of telling if the ribs are solid or laminate?
  18. Jezyorkshire
    The strings lengths seem very long considering they have been snipped, are they for a 4/4 bass?
  19. Jezyorkshire
    I have Spiro Solos on my bass, thought I would retry my Weichs now I have got my hand back in a bit. Went to my spare string draw and what do I find, the super silvers that I should have posted to a guy on eBay, looks like he has got my nearly new Weichs! For £45! He never said owt lol, what’s worse I just checked the eBay listing and it has the Spiros on the photo in the Innovation box lol, I didn’t even notice,

    I have been hearing him over many years not realising who he was until last week and was shocked to learn this morning about his death, what an outstanding musician,very sad.

    I’ve messaged him about the Squier Jazz bass and I’ve asked for the serial number and he hasn’t given me it, I’ve sent him 2 messages and his second reply was “ he can’t keep replying to messages” he’s got some very odd listings for cameras and a lens with no photos and no real descriptions, I would be very wary of this seller?
