If he’s got 5 guitar amps he’s a guitarist who’s pretending to understand bass. Find a genuine bass teacher and you’ll be ok.

I was given one of these and I don’t have a use for it. Yours if you want it.

Hi Richard, our friend Bassace is right. It's a 3/4 double bass but it's just a fraction smaller in the body than a typical 3/4, and the string length is a tiny bit smaller (not so that you would notice). It's as suitable for orchestral playing as it is for jazz. The sound is rich and full bodied, but the neck is a little thinner, which makes it easier to navigate (for me, at least). You can see details on the site: https://www.bryantbasses.co.uk/basses Here's the Martin's version of a similarly sized bass: https://www.thomasmartin.co.uk/instruments-for-sale/new-double-basses/martin-solo

Again, as I said above, I don’t play with a bow so you’d need to come and play it to see how it performs. I know that many Bryant basses are used in orchestras and you’d assume have a full bodied sound. But it’s such a personal thing so once again I’d urge you to try it. You’re under no obligation to buy it!

Nobody deserves bad service, whether your buying a few screws in a shop for £1 or a £100,000 sports car. I have a friend who owns a retail business and when he’s in the shop takings increase by around 20% because he genuinely cares about his customers. Mad they would treat you that way. To be fair, my experience of BD was very good.

Indeed. And at 40 mpg you’re only losing £3 each trip!
