22nd would be a nightmare for Happy Jack, Bluejay, MacDaddy and Paul the Drums ... we're gigging that night in Leighton Buzzard!

A band with 3 basses. Radical.
I cannot speak for the Neve 1073-ness of it at all. I imagine not. However I have found the Grace Felix pedal to be very fine indeed with my DB. The Hellborg preamps occasionally come up for really not much money and fitting all that gubbins into a pedal is going to be tricky indeed.
I bought this because I fancied hanging it on my wall. It is an unused DB front from 60s Germany. I will get aome pics up later. It would look fabulous above your fireplace.... yes, yours.
You know what this is. It is a lovely thing but it does not have enough strings for me. The frame is a complete revelation. It makes playing it completely natural coming from a DB background. I will stick with my NS because it has the B.

If had been fretless would be after this too.

Fretlessing this (is that a word?) would be a simple job for any luthier. You will not see a fretless five string full fat Omnibass 2nd hand for ages and ages and ages. And the price is right. I have a vested interest as the original owner. It is a lovely instrument.
