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!

That’s amazing! It’s a universal part apparently. With a bit of sanding and all that I’m sure it would fit.

Harley Benton Standard Series Telecaster. This is a lovely guitar for the princely sum of £60. It was bought as a gift, but my daughter didn’t want it so is in my Big Yellow Storage locker. Few minor marks from being moved he ultimately in lovely, nearly new condition. specs here: https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_te_20mn_ca_standard_series.htm £60

I recently picked this up for a project but I have no time or need for it. I was just a bit bored and it seemed like a good idea at the time. It’s a superb Vintage bass on deep candy apple red. It’s in excellent condition with barely any use and the plastic still on the scratch plate. It comes with the neck and tuners. Now some of the frets on the neck are lifting. Personally it doesn’t seem a big deal to me, but it’s how it was sold to me. So consider is as £80 for an amazing and almost new bass body with a free neck! RRP on this is about £330. £80 Collection in Bristol or Royal Mail postage at cost.
