    Packaging is a bit bashed but the strings are sealed and new. £25 delivered.

    Still for sale. Great price for an exceptional bass.

    There’s a funny story in the 17 Watts book where a composer gave Mo Foster an incredibly complex part to play 8va (as a joke) and it filled him with fear. Practising with a drone really helps with getting intonation I found. Weirdly I also found the Simandl book to be helpful for EB too when I was trying to do fretless. In the end, I found the sound I wanted was a DB so bought one of those instead. I’d also echo the point above that master fretless players add all sorts of tricks and techniques (like blues players) to each note. It really is a wonderful sound in the right hands. Good luck!

    Jon Peel nails it…

    Used to be mine. It’s an exceptional instrument in every way.

    Updated the list after a hilarious/annoying misunderstanding ( I sent someone the wrong book as I'm stressed, old and tired). Happy to listen to offers on these if there's something you're interested in.

    This is the last bass I'm selling and the saddest to go. According to Rob Allen himself, this is a Rob Allen Fretted Mouse #1181 - alder body, walnut top, walnut neck and Indian rosewood fretboard. (I'm not going to arge with him!). the wood is wonderful to look at, and sounds even better. This was owned by the legend that is @Frank Blankwho had the pencil thin mandolin frets swapped for larger ones, giving better fretting and enabling you to use a wider range of strings. The condition is excellent. There are two marks (pictured). The bass comes in the Rob Allen fitted hard case and the little booklet and some wax too. This bass plays incredibly well, is light as a feather and is just beautifully made. So, why am I selling? I can't get on with short-scale basses, I need the money for a new business, and I'm getting back into playing double bass. This is strictly collection only, but I can drive and meet you somewhere if Bristol is a way to get to. I can't and won't send this (I can't insure it and I wont' risk this). Price is £2200. This reflects the quality, rarity and the fact that these are hugely in demand now. Pictures below. Anything else you need, let me know.

    Yeah I’ve been to the auction several times and to be fair they’re clear about it, but some people still get stung!
  9. Burns-bass
    + 25% in fees…

    Still never been played…

    Bump for a beautiful amp!

    Message sent. I'm local and this could be perfect!

    There's mad, and there's divorce-level craziness. This is the latter.

    I’ve heard good things. This is in my budget range as I won’t pay VAT and can buy from Richer too.

    Hello! I’ve got a Bose soundbar which has done me well for about 6 years, but its not powerful enough now so I was a replacement. Requirements are that the sound quality is good, the interface has simple to use and it’s not garish. I’m looking mid-price (up to £500) and would prefer to buy from decent guys (Richer Sounds) not evil box shifters (Amazon). Happy to take advice form those with experience.

    Wonderful basses. I found the tuners to be a little lightweight, but other than that no complaints! Was beautifully made.
  17. Burns-bass
    Yeah just a grounding strip which was then internally routed in late 62. They’ve gone proper on the authenticity!
  18. Burns-bass
    Nice and a fair price too, it seems.

    no worries dude. I’ve got family who fought there too. What you’re doing is very thoughtful and a very kind gesture. I took my dad to the Menin Gate and we heard the last post and went to see where some of our family had fought and died. Let us know how it goes!

    You should be able to figure it out from this. https://www.ultimate-tabs.com/misc-traditional/anzac-last-post-tab Im intrigued as to how old your uncle is if his son fought on WW2. Both of my grandparents who were veterans have sadly passed.

    I’m selling my truly wonderful and beautiful AER Basic Performer. This is one of the worlds best amps and is voiced for acoustic instruments (double bass, acoustic bass) but works just as well with electric bass. This is in excellent condition with just a few small marks on the bottom and a little on the side. I can buff these out, too. I’ll post specs below. These are almost £1500 new. This one also comes with a custom made cover. I’m selling for £725. I can’t post this and I’d prefer you collect. However, I can meet somewhere equidistant from Bristol. I’m selling as I don’t do jazz gigs really, I’m now investing in a large set-up for a heavy hitting blues and funk band.

    Boss Waza Air has transformed practice for me, bringing the fun back to bass and guitar. It’s tied in first place with the 1971 Martin D35. Worst purchase was one of those annoying and fiddly folding music stands that is useless.
  24. Burns-bass
    Snap! In all fairness, the best sounding jazz bass I’ve ever heard has one. It also has high output vintage pickups and is strung with chromes. I wanted something that would be ideal for jazz, blues and funk and this is, but I’m pretty sure the bridge has little to do with that!

    I agree to a point. And I love a British eccentric. The issue here is that he’s knocking out cheap basses at double the price to unsuspecting people (probably parents) who know no better. Personally I think that’s a bit off. Im sure he’s a lovely chap and I wish him all the best. I just hope that anyone starting out on bass doesn’t end up with this nonsense on Christmas Day and instead gets a brand new, clean and healthy HB.
