    Interesting how the slab body precision there came back up for sale so quickly….

    Love these. Lightweight, sound amazing and look great!

    Quick update. Still not bought one (as I bought another double bass). Now I'm just waiting for a few mre gig bookings before buying one, but it would have come in handy last week!

    A recent new addition (expensive double bass) means that I need to sell some things that I'm not using and sadly this 1977 Musicman Stingray is next on the chopping block (and indeed, is the last one to go). This is all original and was purchased from the lovely team at Moto Music. You can find a comprehensive selection of images here: https://motomusic.co.uk/products/music-man-stingray-with-maple-fretboard-natural-1978?_pos=3&_psq=stingray&_ss=e&_v=1.0 I have the bass in my possession (it's literally behind me now) and can take any additional images you may want to see. The bass is in excellent condition and is an amazing sounding and playing bass. It's a great collectible, too, with values rapidly rising. It's a slab body with no contour. It has the sealed pre-amp and The frets are pencil thin, which is a feature of the early Stingrays. It plays wonderfully well and has an even action all the way up and down the neck, but it would be remiss of me not to mention this. The case that came with the bass wasn't really fit for purpose but I will purchase a suitable hard case for it (or take some cash off the price to compensate you). Collection and a chance to check it out is recommended. I'm based in Bristol and work for myself, so that's not a problem. I can post this, but we would need to agree a courier and pay for insurance, so expect to pay around £75 for this (if you're based in the UK). I think I've priced this fairly at £3395, which is 20% less than shop prices, but I'm happy to discuss it. Not interested in trades (as the expensive double bass is here!).

    I've played this one and it's great! https://motomusic.co.uk/products/wandre-davoli-mini-bass-1960s-red?_pos=2&_psq=wandre&_ss=e&_v=1.0

    This is going to go straight into Reform UK, political correctness gone mad BS so I’m out. Have a good gig whatever you decide.

    Not at all. In my Chicago blues band we play a song called “little schoolgirl”. The singer explains that the lyrics are a bit dodgy, but it’s a fun song. World has changed and it’s worth reflecting on that.

    This. Shows respect and an understanding of the context.

    If you’re worried have the conversation with the band. In my bluegrass band one of the players had a problem with some of the lyrics. She raised it, explained why and we changed them. No stress.

    Bristol has Elevator Sound https://www.elevatorsound.com/?srsltid=AfmBOop4A2d-1vjoEEkt-LT-NSxJs0OchGEyMImZZiXs1yPOaDQu9fn0

    It’s a Google Form, so there’s nothing to worry about.

    These were fitted to a new bas I bought and have literally been played for an hour or two before before being swapped to Evah lights. These are medium tension and sound absolutely stunning under the bow. £125 (Price includes a postage) (Will come in the Weich packaging but these are medium tension!)

    800km is insane. knowing my luck I’d have left my keys and have to drive back. Glad the bass is sorted. I alway love the feeling when your bass has been set up and playing well.
  15. Burns-bass
    I take one of these as a spare to every gig. I wouldn’t be without it.

    Really need this gone by the weekend so reduced to £350. Bonkers price for a very lovely double bass.
  17. Burns-bass
    Two nights, two gigs. Had some mega-feedback from the double bass so emergency jumper was called in to sort it out.
  18. Burns-bass
    I agree. There are some songs where the baseline is the song (or at least a huge part of it) and you can’t mess with that. But for others, you just need to find what works. Thats the difference between a cover band who play an interpretation and a tribute band, I guess.

    Did yesterdays gig with zero rehearsals, setlist changed around and some called out in different keys. Was a good workout. Turns out the guys are all pit players and have been doing this for 20 years so lots of eye contact and trying to fit in. Sounded good and some great players. A lot of fun (and £250 so pretty good).
  20. Burns-bass
    Reduced to £275

    I can add some starter double bass books if they would be of use.

    I completely agree. This fella is a committed criminal who continues to offend. He’s a scumbag. I am playing in a band later with someone who was convicted of robbery. He was more a victim of circumstance and it was 30 years ago. Guess you have to believe in the capacity for change. My dad’s house was repointed by a childhood friend who went to prison for attempted murder. A lovely fella who had a breakdown and did something entirely out of character.

    I think, from memory, he’s the guy running the bands. It may be that he’s a nice guy who’s fun to be around and pays well for the band. Confidence criminals can be quite lovely people, it’s the reason they can be successful.

    You’ve seen Police Interceptors too!
