Collection from Aylesbury. (Or dependant on whre you are I can deliver on the way to a gig...) -
[s]Hi, For 3/4 size instruments. Made by 'Superior Instrument Cases', San Franciscisco. In black and in great condition with no rips/tears, all zips working etc....and folds away easily for storage (at home or on gigs). Big and hard to photo properly so my best depcription follows.... The 'Superior' bag is padded with the same material inside as outside, with dual zips going from below the headstock to the bottom and a padded 'exit hole' for the end pin. There is a wide rear pocket, front bow pocket and smaller prominent front pocket. I will include the strap I used to carry the instrument. Collection preferred or I can package and post for a bit extra.....[/s] [size=5][s][b]NOW SOLD[/b][/s][/size]

These are the Nordstrand dimensions (same a s EMG 45's) Nordstrand DC5 custom set (parallel): These pickups are available in two different versions. One set is designed to be wired in parallel, and the other is designed to be wired in series. The reason we do this is that a pickup that is made to sound good wired parallel will usually be too hot and dark sounding if wired in series. So, we put less wire on series dual coils than parallel dual coils. In general, a pickup wired in series will have a fuller and fatter midrange with a subdued high end than a pickup wired in parallel, which will typically have more highs and a deeper low end with a cleaner midrange. Series pickups also have more output than parallel pickups. Parallel pickups generally are a better choice for a split-able installation as there will not be the gain loss associated with series style pickups. [b]NOTES:[/b] [b]The Nordstrand can only be used with 5 string bass (as it has pole pieces). (No extras came with these) Nordstrand are in EMG 45 housing style (4.5" x 1.5"), 2 screw mount, String spacing is 20mm at bridge (make sure your bass can do this width!)[/b] Switching possible (Nords can do single/dual/series/parallel) Pro stuff and incredible. I tried various brands and these were among the best butI needed something specific and settled on another pair so these are not needed. Please read up to get full details on them and hope someone will get to buy/try/use for a lower cost. Asking: £200 posted!! Lets keep this quick and painless boys....

I've beeen using John East's STMP 01,'Stomp box' as a pre-amp with my double basses and I've had great results. It was not designed for this use (I guess) but...as long as it works. I usually use this as my D.I. with electric basses anyway so it was a good investment. I also use his MPB 01 'piezo -pre', blending my Realist and Underwood. Brilliant combination (Stomp and this) and I've had positive comments of my 'acoustic' sound. Whatever your choice of pickups use your ears!! My advice..talk to John. Right in our back-yard with some world class stuff. I go to John, first, to solve or at least advise with my audio stuff and I must admit even with my double bass issues.....

Make One Of These For Your Bass! (Bridge Distance Piece)

Much thanks to those that looked. More please!

Gentlemen, My car was stolen in Hampstead and all my gear including my beloved Sadowsky 5 string bass was in the car. I hvae been mourning for a few years now and by coincidence did a gig with a guitar player who had a similar incident. He had a positive result years later as someone spotted his stolen guitar and he got it back (after proving it was his etc...). It led me to believe that it is possible to see my bass again....... Here then is a couple of photos and a brief description. (some parts had been changed after this photo so I'll list some...) If you have seen it, or been offered I will be grateful and even offer a small reward towards getting it back. (even if you have a small suspicion, please get in touch.) Regards Michael [email protected] Sadowsky modern 5 string, 24 frets Honeyburst maple
