  1. 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.

  3. 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).

  4. 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! 👍

    Daflewis posted this a few years back that looked great and is similar to the McNutt.

    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!
