Okay 4pwclm, they are yours. I’ll sort a message for payment later on. -
£9 includes U.K. postage. I have three Cosmo Black ( not jet black) metal control knobs with a line indicator on them. They have a screw fit and have a nice weight to them. Totally unused, one out the pack to photo. Cost me somewhere around £12-14 so save a few quid with these.

I met Lee many years ago at Aria when they were sited near Heathrow and then near Guildford. He is a very nice person, I'm glad you got this sorted, top stuff Aria.

I’m surprised these cheap bridges were ever used on those basses!
-
Interesting stuff neilp ... I was in a bass repair shop once and the owner let me try a very old and very heavy full size bass. I had difficulty getting good bow volume out of it but he explained that this bass projected far beyond the player’s area and actually had a huge sound......in the right hands!
-
Ah, not ambient’s clip.....yes a quite novel hand position for French style bow, I must try, I’m in the throws of changing to a German style, perhaps even practising the DB again though I don’t know if I can get the Bach cello concertos playing as well as Ibragimov!

I seem to remember a story that after Koussevistsky passed away, his wife offered his double bass over to Gary Karr. I saw Karr play in London in the 80’s accompanied by piano and it was awe inspiring especially his harmonics playing.
-
That is a ‘German’ style bow, it has the wider frog so the grip is different.
-
Mine was sold on to a shop in Shepherds Bush, London back in the 70s, looks like this colour too.I think I tried a Ricky but then went for a Gibson Les Paul Recording that I had a long scale neck fitted perfectly by Richard Knight guitars down Weybridge, Surrey way. That bass has a bass clef at the 12th fret......(anyone got it now?)....So, when and where did you get this one?
-
Interesting zero fret Combi nut on this site, I’ve never seen one like this.
-
Find a reputable osteopath, really. My man (Hindhead, Surrey) is excellent and has seen many musicians. ie....I had a bad knee problem once, it turned out it was my ankle that was out of alignment and a single visit sorted it all out.

String sale to Reggabass Tony for his bass restoring project, great dealing with you, cheers.
-
Gotoh tuners to Gary, all nicely done, cheers 4pwclm.

Hiwatt and Fender valves in the UK and Jansen in NZ.

Maybe that particular cables doesn't have decent wire in it so bin it. I make up cables from quality stuff and always use Neutrik jack plugs for a proper contact area for bass or pedal inputs as some jack plugs from 'other' countries are inferior quality and just ever so slightly less in circumference than Neutrik.

Withdrawn off Basschat....selling elsewhere. New price at £30 includes postage U.K. New unused D’Addario strings as shown. There are TWO sets in each packt. These are priced at £30 per pack which will include standard U.K. postage. I bought these last year but have decided to stay with my original D’Addario gauge strings so these are up for grabs. Great strings, long lasting. As D’Addario state their strings are often ’faked’ I have checked all these on D’Addario’s site as being the real deal. -
A set of Fender style fit USED Flat Wound strings of unknown origin (but by the blue silk colour could be D’Addario or La Bella). £5 for the strings....if you want them posted I haven’t checked a cost but as they don’t wrap down in a tight circle they have to go in a large Jiffy bag so likely cost a few pounds for postage. Gauges in the picture are as close as my measurements can be. -
These are unused, fixing screws included in their sealed pack. Top notch tuners used by many bass manufacturers world wide. The price includes U.K. postage via Hermes dropped off at my local Hermes collection depot. -
I’m not so sure Cites is pertinent as far as the age of this bass is meant to be....contacting Shecter with the serial number might work. I recently sent a pic of some real old rosewood I had to a luthier supplier and he said it’s not possible to ascertain exactly what wood it is unless he has it in his hands and even then it may not be possible to exactly say what and where it came from.

The cheap n cheerful Dr Green bass reverb might get you started to see if reverb is suitable....it isn’t as bad as its price denotes! https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Dr-Green-Bass-Verb-Reverb-Pedal/PFI

Great stuff....just needed steam off the machines and you'd be away!! -
Well back in his DB book writing days, Rufus Reid was showing us how he did it! By the width of those seats, I'd say he got 1st class tickets.

SOLD The powered monitor has been used more than the passive. All working good on volume and eq slider controls and I’ve also spit n polished n hoovered them and wet soldered the internal controls. The cabs are slightly ‘bruised’ from age but holding together well and the handles are intact. These are pretty good and just the single powered monitor was enough for our vocalist on gigs. Both are 12” / 8 ohm speakers and the internal power amp is rated at 100 watt . Collection best, postage might be possible but I have no boxes for them. I’ve seen the powered one alone on EBay at £75 so maybe these are a bargain for the pair for day to day gigging/rehearsal rooms. -
Probably magnolia Mick!

Yes it does look like that and it was. The days of one bass ownership only, struggling on apprentice wages to pay HP on a an amp head and mates building speaker cabs for me. Those were the days my friends, we thought they'd never end.
