[quote name='ziggydolphinboy' timestamp='1403123770' post='2480080'] would a normal bassamp be suitable for this bass? [/quote] Yep, I play through a normal bass amp with no problems. Though as philparker has pointed out you would definitely need a pre-amp with this pick up. I've got an ART tube pre-amp that works well with this set up - I was planning on keeping it is as a back up but could include it in the sale if the price was right

still available bump

[quote name='ML94' timestamp='1400872369' post='2457834'] Would this be a good starting bass for someone who's going to learn playing upright ? [/quote] Personally I reckon this is a great starting bass, it's certainly done a great job of getting me started :-)

[quote name='JoannaN1234' timestamp='1400865589' post='2457750'] Hello just wondering if this double bass is still available? Thanks, Jo [/quote] Hi Jo, yes the bass is still available :-)

Bump - still available!

[quote name='ulaulaula' timestamp='1399148791' post='2441599'] Hi, I'm looking to buy a bass for my partner as a surprise for his 30th birthday on 2nd June. I will be in Grantham visiting my parents on 23rd May, so we could potentially meet then. Otherwise I live in London. Grantham is a 30 minute train journey from nottingham, or a 30 minute drive. Ula [/quote] Sent you a PM but working on my phone with a very dodgy internet connection so not 100% sure it sent, let me know if not.

[quote name='AME' timestamp='1398991472' post='2439840'] how old is she and what do you like it for? [/quote] Not sure on the age, the guy I bought it from a year ago said he'd had it for a couple of years - I would guess around 5 years old?? I've only used it with my band for bluesy/rootsy type stuff, not playing anything else on it. Wouldn't really be looking for an acoustic bass at the moment but feel free to PM me if you want to make an offer

[quote name='petebassist' timestamp='1398418982' post='2433855'] Love the recording! Great track. [/quote] Thanks!!

I've recently bought a new double bass so up for sale is this Antoni 3/4 Double Bass, not sure which particular model this is, the chap I bought it from didn't know. This was my first double bass and has served me well as such, I'm well and truly hooked now, hence the new one! As you'll see from the photos its in good condition, the fingerboard is showing a little wear though this is only the paint being removed through playing, there's no wear to the wood underneath. Included in the sale is a Fishman BP100 pick up, I've seen these take a bit of flack in some reviews but I've always found it to give a decent sound when coupled with a pre-amp (I used an ART pre-amp with this to good effect). I've gigged this bass a few times and have never had any troubles with feedback using this set up. It's currently got the stock strings on, having tried a couple of other sets (which I'm keeping for my new bass) I'd say that these are of a reasonably low tension and give a good tone. You can listen to a recording of the bass with this string/pickup/pre-amp combination on this demo we did a few months back: [url="https://soundcloud.com/redwood58/the-letter"]https://soundcloud.c...od58/the-letter[/url] Also included is the hard case pictured, the case has seen better days - some of the poppers holding the fabric covering on have come off and the zip only closes about 90% of its length - but it does the job and protects the bass well If you're looking to get into playing double bass then I'd highly recommend this as a low cost starter set up, just grab a pre-amp and you're away. Would prefer a cash sale but I can always be tempted with trades for basses/guitars, I'm currently gassing for a semi-acoustic bass or some kind of telecaster, open to suggestions!! I'm based in Nottingham but can travel for delivery or to meet up, happy to discuss this. Anyway, on with the pics: [url="http://s400.photobucket.com/user/malw_2008/media/DSCF1839.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s400.photobucket.com/user/malw_2008/media/DSCF1843.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s400.photobucket.com/user/malw_2008/media/DSCF1844.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s400.photobucket.com/user/malw_2008/media/DSCF1845.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s400.photobucket.com/user/malw_2008/media/DSCF1846.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s400.photobucket.com/user/malw_2008/media/DSCF1847.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s400.photobucket.com/user/malw_2008/media/DSCF1848.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s400.photobucket.com/user/malw_2008/media/DSCF1851.jpg.html"][/url]

Simply stunning!!!!

Got these on here a couple of weeks back. If you've seen [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/220925-having-trouble-changing-strings-sorted-for-now/"]this[/url] thread then you'll know that they didn't suit my bass. No reflection on the strings, they were just a bit too much for my bass. They were sold to me having been on a bass for approx six months and they were only on mine for a couple of hours so still in great condition. Just looking to get back what I paid for them so £45 posted. [url="http://s400.photobucket.com/user/malw_2008/media/IMG_2967.jpg.html"][/url]
