Thank you Chris for the excellent bass, the smooth transaction, thorough packaging and good communication!
All the best to you!

Perhaps you could put that info in the title?

There's no zero fret on this though!

Hence my question.
Thanks for clearing that up!
So the scale-lenght is most probably not 35".

No, as the seller states it is a TRB6P.

The TRB6II has a bolt on neck and doesn't have a piezo pickup. it also has an ash body. The TRB6P is a neck thru and has a piezo loaded bridge. The P features a maple body.

Yes, sorry I meant TRB6PII, wich it is apparently!

Cheers!

So is it a TRB6II then?

Up!

We're back from holidays, quivers are available for order!

Are you sure it's 34" scale?

Another one has been made with an extra cord for fitting it on a stand.
I'm looking forward to know how it works out!

I live in Edinburgh so it's unlikely I'd come, but we'll see what happens!
I know what you mean though, I spent a lot on my bow as well, even if way less than you did! After playing it I had to have it!

Thank you very much for the kind reviews!
We're happy for your satisfaction!

I gathered from other threads about your bow, Neil! £3000! I'd like to give that one a go!

Happy playing!

Gyrus bought a custom bow quiver from me, friendly discussion and smooth transaction!
I can recommend him!

Maybe we should get together here in Scotland too!

Thank you for the interest gentlemen!

Two black ones are being made now!

Cheers guys!

For your cello, we'd need to know how long your tailpiece is for the fittings, and also the lenght of your bow maybe!

If you were to wear one as such, people would quite rightly sigh: "What a dick!"

Hello everybody,

I took my bass to my luthier the other day and he admired my bow quiver my wife made me so much, he ordered one for himself! Upon recieving his a few days later he said: "There's a market for this you know!"
Well I didn't think of that before but shortly after, a friend of mine ordered two and she wanted colorful "funky" ones! They came out so nice, I thought I'd post them here to see if any of you would be interested in using one of these!

In my opinion these are superior to the usual leather ones! These are made of textile -as my wife does textile design- and as such are much lighter than the leather ones, have velcro fittings instead of metal buckles, and they do not knock on your basses top.
The wall has a hard lining -think hats- for holding shape and a soft cord inner lining to catch the bow without damage or much sound! The "mouth" has wire support to maintain shape of the opening.
They are sturdy too! The black one on the bass in the photos is my one I've used for the last 8 or so years! Still looks the part and does the job perfectly!

The default design is the one with black micro cord outer material.
We do offer a limited variety of colorful patterned textiles also, photos available on request!

If you have any questions or would like to own one, please get in touch!

They are £25 + postage.

(Please note that they are made to order and ther will be about two days wait from order to postage!)

Thanks for reading!

I think your price is very good, but your photos need to be better to make this good bass more desireable! Also, do you have the missing piece from the broken corner? If you do that'd make the repair more affordable for the future owner!
Good luck with the sale!

I think he has a dislike towards working on basses! :-)

Did you do this after all, Martin?
If you're in doubt, you can ask Gordon Stevenson in tollcross if he'd do it for you! He used to pass on bass jobs to Ken before he retired, maybe now he'd be up for the job himself!

Despite the info I think you'd manage this yourself too!

A rubber walking stick tip from a shoe-repair shop will do perfectly. I found one that was perfect fit on top of the original plastic tip of the pin.
(I also used cork, but that turned out to be a bit slidey.)
I've been using the same one for years, and it's still nice and sticky, although I play my bass quite vertically anyway!

My mittels are 8 years old and I'm still waiting for them to mellow! :-)
I have a set of lights and a heavy E that I bring with me to use on hire basses when I'm on tour. They started to wear out at the point where they leave the peg from being on and off so many times, but the sound is still good! Ply basses just love that huge E string!

Just as Mr. Beer sais, buses -here in Edinburgh at least- are a perfect way to get around!
Chose a good bag with reliable shoulder-straps and have some padding where the bass meets your lower back and you'll be able to walk quite a bit without discomfort. I always thought about getting a wheel, but never really needed one...

I use an '84 Steinberger P-2 sometimes, mainly for recording. The sound is great, very versatile, records amazingly! The output of the active emg's is insane!
For me the lack of upper horn makes it uncomfortable to play standing so it doesn't come out gigging.
