    These are brilliant, agreed.

    I use the EBS Stanley Clarke for both electric and upright gigs and it’s great.

    Love mine. Used it for two gigs on the weekend and it was perfect. I treated the little beauty to a new case.

    This bass is the same. I have used it on over 50 gigs so far and it's been flawless. I play bluegrass too, so I think you're right. Few dings and dongs won't harm it!
  5. Burns-bass
    Yes, you’re right. This one is a bass for life so I’m not too worried.

    Nice outdoor acoustic session. Unfortunately, the high heat caused the finish on the bass to crack. Doesn’t really bother me but probably impacts sale value!

    If it’s of interest, the bass is 90cm long and 24cm wide!

    Given most people don’t know who he is, I reckon we can get away with it.

    I played a lovely pub in Cornwall. Was offered our pick of the food menu, free drinks and £100 each for the gig. Was a busy night elsewhere and only 5 people turned up. Guess it happens! Second gig this afternoon outdoors. Having a walk and coffee…

    Custom shop! This was the perfect bass for a couple of UK holidays. That’s why I bought it.

    Found out his solo band is playing in London on the 18th of August. Sadly I can’t make it.

    These are stunning things.

    I really do think they’re a drummers band. We listened to the Royal Scan for 3 weeks across Europe in 2005. Id sort of had enough by then. Will check them out again. I’m a huge Chuck Rainey fan.

    I literally discovered this behind a door. That’s a sign from someone upstairs that it must go. Can send for £50 or you can collect for £40

    SD not my thing either, but they were super smart lads and steeped in jazz history. Probably helps when you assemble some of the greatest musicians ever to play on your tracks. Got a long road trip today. Might do some Dan for the road.

    Ok, some more info. Good news is that the bass and case weighs 16.5kg (some idiot was reading the lbs as kg - what was me). LEDs are operated by the switch near the horn and all work. The controls are a mystery to me. I assumed VVT and Boost but they don’t conform to that. The sound is good, strings are low and the neck absolutely insanely easy to play. It’s not even all the way up the neck. I’d recommend a set up and new strings. This has been factored into the price. On quick test, there is a crackle from the jack socket, but I believe this is from lack of use as it settled. No hums or nastiness. No major damage and additional pictures below. Price remains the same. I still can’t send this and don’t want to. I sort of fell in love with it a bit when I plugged it in so I won’t be sad if it remains here. It looks really, really cool.

    There’s no way anyone is sneaking this case into the house without being noticed…
  18. Burns-bass
    Lovely stuff. I’ve been offered significant sums to trade in, but better someone gets a bargain than all that.
  19. Burns-bass
    It’s a competitively priced indulgence. I’m going to fire it up later and get some pictures of the LEDs and so on. There is no sadness if it remains here, but I believe it’s made to ramble on.
  20. Burns-bass
    You did indeed. And I’m tempted to buy this back to fill out my bass sound on some bluegrass gigs. World is mad.

    This is a custom made and quite incredible Andy Manner bass. Andy is based in Corsham and has built bases for the late great John Entwistle. An amateur he is not. It has a SIMS made neck with leds. Electronics are Status and it comes with the world’s heaviest and best custom made hard case. The neck is pencil thin and the craftwork is exceptional. The bass works amazing well and is unique. It sounds epic. It’s for sale at an incredible £550 Why? Well, I bought this a few months ago at Gardiner Houlgate for around this sum (after fees) and have paid for some setup work. I used it on a few festival gigs but is now surplus to requirements. The new cost would have been thousands but I believe in a Basschat bargain. This is strictly collection only. The flight case and bass are oversized and weigh around 16.5kg. Bass is around 4.5kg

    Massive logical nightmare sorting that all out.

    Went past the shop in Bristol and was going to pop in. Seems a shame. It wasn’t perfect, but wasn’t like the elitist and exclusive shops of the 1980s and 90s.

    I’d work with the bass as it is for a while.

    It’s often worth asking around for a local engineering firm who can build you a stand or even a rest much cheaper than the NS branded stuff. I asked one to make me a screw in endpin once and it was a few quid. A shop wanted to charge me £150 for a replacement unit.
