  1. I’m a big fan of doing both. They both have their advantages so I would take the time to get comfortable standing and sitting.
  2. Price drop to £130 cash collected from Pudsey near Leeds. This is an awesome bass for the money!
  3. Price drop to £65, collection only. Feel free to come and try it to see if it's a good fit. These are awesome stools and it's very comfortable, plus looks great on gigs.
  4. Here's a bass or guitar stand that I've had for about 20 years. There are a few scratches as you would expect, but it works perfectly. t's really good quality and a simple design so your bass won't fall off! I've had several other stands over the years and this has been the best by far. £10 collection only from Pudsey, near Leeds.
  5. This is an Amadeus, Opus 1 double bass stool. This is in great condition but was a touch high for me, so I've had it professionally cut down by 4 centimetres. It was 78cm and is now 74cm (approximately 29"). The rubber feet are still in place and you wouldn't be able to tell it's been adjusted. IMO it's now a more suitable height for the average player. It has 4 different heights for the footrests so you can find the one you prefer. It's a great stool and used by many music colleges and professional orchestras. https://www.amadeus-equipment.co.uk/products/opus-standard-bass-stool/ Collection only from Pudsey near Leeds. ... now sold
  6. Fold up double bass stand in good condition. £20 cash. Price drop to £15. Collection from Pudsey, near Leeds only.
  7. Leather bow quiver for sale. Good condition, but there's a couple of scuffs in the leather. I've tried to highlight them the photos. £20 cash, collected from Pudsey, near Leeds. £ 3.00 shipping.
  8. SOLD. I bought this bass new from a local store in Leeds when they first came out. I've hardly played it and it's never been outside of my house. The bass sounds great, is easy to play, with low action and a very comfortable neck. As far as I can tell there's only one mark, which is a small ding on the back of the body (see photo). It's hard to see and otherwise, the bass is in amazing condition. It's not been altered except for a new set of strings (D'Addario Roundwounds) which still have plenty of life in them. I don't have a case and it's collection from Pudsey near Leeds only. £145 (cash). Price drop to £130 cash (collection only from Leeds).
  9. I’m a big fan of Martyn Bailey. His work is superb!
  10. I was gutted I didn’t get to keep it! Such a great amp for upright. My old version still sounds great though so I’m sticking with it. 😀
  11. I’ve had my Clarus for over 10 years and it still works perfectly. It’s so reliable and works perfectly with upright IMO. Plus the new heads are tiny!
  12. That’s one of the best looking basses I’ve ever seen. Great buy and I love the idea of the YOB bass.
  13. I had the pleasure of studying with Zoltan on my undergraduate degree and can’t say enough good things about him. He really is one of the best players and teachers I’ve met. If you are considering lessons, do it! 👍
  14. Wow. That’s terrible. Thanks for the heads up.
  15. Really nice instrument with a lot of mojo! Congrats.
  16. How about reaching out to one of his favourite bassists to see if you can buy a Skype lesson for him? It’s amazing how many of the best players offer them, especially if you email and explain.
  17. I've got a bass bar and it works well. Mine looks very similar to the base of a music stand with a T bar to support the bass. It's handy if you're doubling and doing fast change overs. I would prefer it if I could adjust the height a bit more, but that's not a big deal and it may well have changed since I bought mine a few years ago. There's a few other brands doing a similar design such as K&M and it certainly beats leaning your bass against a chair!
