    I guess it all depends on what work you want to get. Semi-pro to me says cover band or tribute band, and I’m sure given a bit of time you could nail anything. Felt a bit mechanical to me. But that’s precision bass playing (no pun intended!). As for rocking up at a studio and being pain to create parts or read charts for recordings, assuming this is still a job, it’s often about who you know, your attitude and approach.

    I listened and I could barely tell the difference. But it still sounded great! (and Taxman is as tone deaf as it was then as it is now). Personally, these endless remixes seem like rent extraction. Beatles fans are numerous and devoted and anything like this will generate huge amounts of cash for the estate while doing nothing for the legacy. The Peter Jackson docco on the other hand was well put together and worth the subscription fee!

    Every ounce a pro instrument these.

    It looks original. Many will have had the foam removed or it falls out. The screws aren’t original and will have created a bigger hole on the body which can be a bit unsightly. I can also see the bigger screw on the end of the scratch plate too which matches, so it seems original.

    Sounds less like road worn and more like mental health crisis. (I’m not trying to make a joke, it genuinely does. I had an acquaintance that once destroyed several instruments during an episode. Very sad and quite distressing.)

    I had one of these and it’s amazing. The perfect travel guitar and sounds great recorded as well. It’s Yamaha so that’s a given

    The quality of these basses is quite incredible. I gig all over with Mexican basses, love them

    Wonderful offer. This is why BC is great!

    I though I'd typed "shots" (as in stock shots), but my hand must have slipped!

    Exceptional bass.

    The never ending work on my house never ends! The original owners painted the Bath stone frontage which has crumbled beneath it. Had a couple of expert stonemasons to complete the work, and 6 months later it looks as good as new. But not cheap! Still got a list of stuff that needs doing, and I have to be realistic and reasonable.
  12. Burns-bass
    Had an answer to this now. So no worries!

    The scale length is for a 3/4 bass and the bridge is full size. The soundboard is suspended so it resonates as a real DB does. It’s fitted with D’addario Helicore stings. There is a piezo pickup under the bridge foot. You can also add a Realist pickup (because the sound board resonates). There are two white lines to help you position the bridge if it shifts in transit. The DB shoulders are removable. The neck can be adjusted (tilted) to find the best action using a standard hex key.

    This isn’t rambling, it’s 100% what I needed (and why Basschat is amazing). I was hoping I wouldn’t need a preamp but maybe an FDeck (or Fishman) would do the job. Seems there’s no single solution, but I sort of assumed that was the case. I really appreciate your considered reply and advice. Thank you! I think I will still invest in a Helix just now I know I’ll need to sort something for DB if/when I gig again.

    This is a hard one, but needs must! This is an almost mint condition MK jazz EUB. I bought his at the end of 2019, and Mirko at MK did and incredible job of delivering what is the best double bass substitute out there. The pictures are from Mirko but this hasn’t been played much. During lockdown I was able to pay my Bryant bass and nothing has changed. This comes with the fitted soft case, everything you need from Mirko and a hefty discount on a new price (with no import duties). Images here… (they look like stock stinky poos but they’re my bass. He does it for every new owner…)

    Hi guys, don’t want to hijack the thread, but could I ask this question (posted on the DB forum but you guys probably know more…) I play bass, DB and guitar and I have lots of pedals and preamps and am wondering whether the Helix would be appropriate for DB (I know it is for guitar and bass) I’ve previously used a Fishman Platinum but don’t use this anymore. Any advice welcomed!

    Hi all. I play bass, DB and guitar and I have lots of pedals and preamps and am wondering whether the Helix would be appropriate for DB? Ive previously used a Fishman Platinum but don’t use this anymore. Any advice welcomed!

    Can you afford it? If yes, will you use it? If yes, do you care about brand names? If no, get a Squier (the more expensive models are amazing) If yes, get a fender player series or search out a Japanese Fender. (If rich, buy a vintage one you never play)
  19. Burns-bass
    It’s more that the string isn’t swayed on the bridge properly. Can’t imagine this is a bass that’s played much.
  20. Burns-bass
    Yeah I’ve had that on a few. Yucky!
  21. Burns-bass
    Chatted with the auctioneer and this one went back to the States. Something to do with the collapse of the pound… (best left for another thread!)

    Keith was a 100% gentleman despite me messing him around for a while with collection issues. Equipment was exceptional, walkthrough comprehensive and he even ensured I didn’t crash my car when leaving! Can ask for no more:

    My brother (record dealer) once put a cheeky bid on 10,000 I sorted 7” singles. Two days later a pallet turned up and unloaded 10,000 unsorted 7” records. Ever since then I’ve avoided a cheeky bid on anything!
  24. Burns-bass
    So should I! I’ve always been too scared to bid too much. I set a limit and that’s it, but I can see how it’s easy to get sucked into the whole thing. If they money has been legitimately obtained then fair play to whoever bought it. If it makes them happy, can’t be that bad (Sheryl Crow)

    I was the OP! Just checked out the sale record and it was £14k before fees. My memory is awful.
