After trying to sell it and nobody wanting it enough I have decided it would be stupid to get rid of such a good bit of gear even if it hasn't been played for ages!!! Good excuse to get it out and have a bash... Thanks everyone. Alex

[quote name='Mr Bassman' post='521864' date='Jun 23 2009, 05:03 PM']I'm enjoying playing the red bass now I've found a pick up that suits it.[/quote] Looks identical to my little german flatback - think the major is a bit over with his estimate - mine is valued at aroun 7 or 8k with lots of decent work having been done on it by my man in Greenwich. Mine is from around 1890 and plays like a dream - very gutsy little thing... Alex

[quote name='Sercet' post='515566' date='Jun 16 2009, 06:23 PM']Alex, This may sound a little dumb, but it has worked for me on at least three occasions. Change the title of the thread to "Mo Clifton Electric Double Bass / Electric Upright Bass / EUB for sale". The search engines will pick this up and you'll get a sale for someone new to Basschat. This worked for me when I sold a KYDD Piccolo, a Takamine eub and a Bridge eub. Each time, just as I was about to give up on the sale, someone picked it up via Google. Steve[/quote] Thanks both of you!!! Will try all suggestions - don't want it to go for a stupid price!!!

[quote name='chrkelly' post='499923' date='May 28 2009, 02:58 PM']Very true, works the other way round too. A double bass with very low action and spiros amplified will sound like a fretless on steroids. I'd also try a set of dark orchestral strings (like flexocores or belcantos) on the NS. Those instruments have so much sustain, you need a dark thumpy stringset to try to counteract that.[/quote] Personally I would say the Clifton - and I have one to sell!!! Check out the add - it's nearly ten years old but had so little use it's silly. I'm a classical player and bought it for doing quiet practice - neck length and tone quality amazingly similar to my nearly two hundred year old acoustic. Not bad!!! Hope it gets a good home... A
