    Yes, I quite agree. The person I bought it from struggled with it, but ultimately gave up. All it needed was some time with a specialist and now it's a good value entry level bass. More suitable than the bass I started with!

    The model is this one: https://www.thomann.co.uk/thomann_111sn_3_4_double_bass.htm I’ll politely suggest the “experts” at Thomann didn’t do a great job of setting it up.
  3. Burns-bass
    This is a Thomann laminate bass that has been set up and is ready to play! The story is that I picked up recently from someone who had tried DB and failed. Not from a lack of effort and skill but a terribly set up bass. (I actually went there to buy his bass buggy and ended up with the whole bass.) I’ve had it professionally set up and the action lowered so it’s now a great starter bass. (Bridge fit isn’t perfect, but it’s much better than it was.) The action is low, it sounds good (in a thumpy plywood way). I was going to use this to teach with but I don’t have the space, skill or time to teach so it’s here. It’s a really well built bass that simply needs playing. Personally I’d find a used set of Spiro Weichs and add those and it’ll be a whole new beast. For £499 you get: Bass Case Few books For £35 more I can add a magnetic pickup. This reflects pretty much what I paid, but if you’re stuck for cash and want to try DB we can always work something out. I’m quite proud we’ve fixed up another double bass and it’ll get to be used again. (Hettie used for scale.)

    I see this bass advertised somewhere before. It’s truly awful.

    I sold Nick a 70s Jazz too. What a lovely guy he was.
  6. Burns-bass
    Any offers?
  7. Burns-bass
    Nor had I but it really works. It’s a magnetic pickup from the DB so there’s no problem using effects. (The DB is more a prop rather than being used for its acoustic properties.) Sacrilege, I’m sure.

    It’s a Flattley Bass Nirvana delay pedal. Looks bonkers doesn’t it? https://ivormairants.co.uk/products/flattley-bass-nirvana-bass-analogue-delay?srsltid=AfmBOoqAnU7LZ119asgDOJlSVaYcsEPRDxYkIs9VkkRS-GmaRTyc6cNz I bought it on here as it was recommended by a friend. It works amazing well for double bass (after the signal has gone through the compressor)
  9. Burns-bass
    This is a fantastic price for an amazing pedal. Used mine at the gig today and it’s just brilliant.

    I don’t do gigs for money really (although it’s an added bonus). I do it because I enjoy it and if I didn’t I’d stop. Sometimes I find it hard to turn things down because the people I play with are friends. I had a similar thing as you did in August and took the whole month off. It didn’t impact my playing at all and I felt loads better. I’ve started listening to different music. I’ve found some incredible new stuff I’d never have ever considered listening to and (guess what?) it’s made me pick up the bass and try and play along.

    I’ve gone for a shrunk down one compare to you beast of the board! This is for double bass in a psych / blues style. About 50 minutes from trying it out...
  12. Burns-bass
    These are absolutely brilliant basses.
  13. Burns-bass
    Interesting! This was definitely a case left in the damp.
  14. Burns-bass
    There’s a lot of good material out there. Gary Willis’s Fingerboard Harmony is a good one, showing you how to practically apply a lot of this theory.
  15. Burns-bass
    Please don’t message me if you are seeking a Pedulla case. I’ll sort this somehow.
  16. Burns-bass
    We use this method on carpets and it’s proven to be very successful. I shall try it with this case too. Be a Shane to have to consign it to the scrap heap but I can imagine anyone else would want it like this.
  17. Burns-bass
    Sorry!
  18. Burns-bass
    Thanks all
  19. Burns-bass
    I've recently picked up a Pedulla which is a lovely bass. Problem is that the case smells damp and musty. I'd normally just leave it in the sun for a few days, but this isn't an option (as I live in Bristol, not Bali). Does anyone have any foolproof and preferably non-messy methods to make it smell a bit nicer?
  20. Burns-bass
    I’m in the same quandary. My plan is to bully my whole family into contributing at Christmas.
  21. Burns-bass
    I still think Yamaha has never made a bad bass. I managed to try a John Myung bass (not my thing really) and it was amazing.
  22. Burns-bass
    Great pedals, amazing prices, super fast delivery. 100% recommended.
  23. Burns-bass
    Rush book gone! any offers for Vic? postage is £3.50 so anything on top of that is golden.
  24. Burns-bass
    I also found my local off license (lovely people!) are now accepting Royal Mail deliveries which has helped them improve turnover and saved me a 20 minute trip to the post office. For small items it’s a brilliant system.

    Here are some short books (16-20 pages approx) from two of the UK’s best educators. Partially in treble clef. £8 delivered
