Christmas bump

Thanks - the colouring in the pictures really doesn't do it justice - will try to take some in natural sunshine as soon as we get any!

For sale is my 2-tone sunburst American Precision Standard bass from 2002 I think (serial no Z214****). Beautiful instrument - pictures don't do it justice but the combination of current sunshine levels and halogen lights isn't conducive to photography! The sunburst is warmer than it looks in the pictures and the finish is excellent - one small ding on the back of the top horn and a small dent on the edge below the tone pot - I've tried to show these in the pics, but they really are very small. She's fitted with a tort scratchplate, Fender pickup and bridge covers and ebony (not plastic) tug bar. Currently strung with La Bella flatwounds it has a fantastic authentic tone - deep yet defined. Does the Motown/soul thing to a tee as expected. Fitted with straplocks and comes with the Fender hard case. Very reluctant sale due to the time of year(!) and the fact that I'm playing 5-string almost exclusively now. Will be very disappointed to see it go, but the wife has noticed it's not been gigged for almost a year and I've run out of excuses to keep it! Price is £750 plus P&P, though would prefer collection or meeting up in the Manchester area over shipping if possible. No trades sadly...!

SOLD.

Sold - thanks for a pleasant and easy transaction.

Apologies, was unsure where it would be best suited - please move if you think there's a more appropriate place. Cheers, Dave

Sadly I'm being forced to sell more basses, so up for sale is a 3/4 size double bass. I know virtually nothing about double basses, so please excuse the basic info - if anyone can tell any more by looking please chip in, or anyone is more than welcome to come and give it a try, I'm based in Manchester but I can also get it to Stafford/Birmingham/Leicester if that would be easier. I think it's a laminate, the label inside says 'made in Czechoslovakia' other than that I'm not too sure I'm afraid. It's just back from a local luthier who has given it a full setup, including a brand new bridge, soundpost and set of Tomastik Superflexible steel rope core strings, which has made a huge difference and it sounds and plays beautifully. She's been well played over the years and isn't the prettiest of things - a previous owner decided to put a sticker on her which has been removed, but it sounds fantastic and would make an ideal instrument for anyone new to upright, or who wants to give DB a go. Price is £550, including a Ritter padded gig bag for easy transport. Would really need to be collection due to bulk and fragility, though will ship at buyers expense if required. PM is probably easiest form of contact initially, thanks for looking **Also for sale is a K & K Sounds Double Bass twin pick up system, the Bass Master Pro. Two separate piezo pickup systems with pre-amp allowing you to blend the two signals together as you like. For sale [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=56676"]here[/url]**

For sale is a K&K Sound Bass Master Pro Double Bass pickup system - it's the best one they do, and consists of a four-head piezo transducer that sit underneath the individual strings, plus a wing-mount piezo pickup. Also comes with a dual channel pre-amp allowing you to blend the two signals together in any combination - a bit like a Jazz bass with bridge and neck pickups, both systems give you different tones, which can then be blended together as you like. I had to have this shipped over from the States, and I still don't think they're available in this country (correct me if I'm wrong!) so avoid getting stung by import tax as I did.... The website with full technical details etc is [url="http://www.kksound.com/bassmaster.html"]K & K Sounds Bass Master Pro[/url] Price is £175 collected from either Manchester, Birmingham, Leicester or London, or will ship at buyers expense (very light so won't be much at all). Comes boxed with manual and special adhesive tape to affix the transducer heads, pre-amp and stereo cable to carry signal from both pickups to pre-amp. **Also for sale reluctantly is my 3/4 size Double Bass. Details can be found [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=56677"]here[/url]**

Still available - based in Manchester but can get the bass to Birmingham, Coventry and potentially London if anyone wants to try it.

Sale completed. Am gutted to have had to let this go, but it's ended up in a good home with a real gentleman. It's been a pleasure to do business with you.
