    What is the name of the bassist who plays with the bass neck facing down and his plucking hand"under" the bass!? It's driving me insane that I've forgotten. Help please.
  3. Mikey D
    After a few bits of interest but no viewers, still available.

    Bump and price reduced to £2750 before putting it on ebay.

    How good a "good" double bass are you looking for? I have one for sale currently in the for sale section. Link here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=72702"]My German Double Bass for sale[/url]

    I know, but it is a shame for a lovely instrument to just sit there and hardly be played now I'm no longer a jazz student and have no gigs on the double. I'm willing to negotiate on the price if it is going to a good home, maybe there is a student of jazz who would be interested?

    Bump! Will also trade for a nice jazz box guitar and cash.

    Price reduced.

    [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=18176&hl=demon"]A previous thread about this[/url] I think it has the video of the guy playing it...

    Would possibly trade for the right 5 string electric bass of similar value, or less with cash adjustment.

    Introduced at Namm this year, the Gerald Veasley signature model 6 string. I'm really interested in trying one of these, although I know it would be far more than I would want to spend on it. 14mm spacing!?! [url="http://www.ibanez.com/BassGuitars/model-GVB1006"]Ibanez GVB1006 Site[/url]

    Bump for new info, sound source, measurements and detailed photos.

    The Joe Pass and NHOP duets are possibly some of my favourite videos ever.

    Lower price bump

    I don't suppose you either bought it off ebay or were selling it on ebay before xmas? As I saw an identical one on there just before xmas. As I said above, offers welcome.

    Hello I've finally (and slightly reluctantly) decided to sell my double bass. The bass is a German 3/4 flatback, believed to be from the Mittenwald area. Has real purfling. Neck was damaged at some point many years ago but seems to have been repaired in the 60's in England (There is a slight scribble to this effect on the inside). As such one of the tuners also does not match. Believed to be approx 100-120 years old. Professionally set up over a year ago with a new adjustable bridge. Currently very low and the bridge isn't really carved for arco worked. Fairly new Spirocore Weich strings Gage Realist pickup installed when the bridge was installed. Has what I feel is a lovely, GREAT sound for jazz. Must be played and heard. (The only recorded example I have is a very small piece at this site of film composer Greg Harwood in the audio and then other music section. The track is called "The End - Modern Jazz Cue") Does NOT come with case/bag. Approximate Measurements: Full Length = 72" Body Length = 42" Scale Length = 42" Upper Bout = 21" Lower Bout = 26" Scroll to Shoulder = 31 3/4" Width at Nut = 1 5/8" Looking for offers in region of £3250 £3000 £2900 I'm more than happy to answer any questions you may have either by PM, email to [email protected] or by phone (Message me for number). Cheers Mikey Note: First picture was from the previous seller. Setup, general overhaul, pickup added and new strings added since. Rest of the photos taken 11/01/10 [attachment=39998:bass_front.jpg]

    There is a good summary of the transcription process here: [url="http://www.daveliebman.com/Feature_Articles/index.htm"]Dave Liebman is one bad mutha[/url] I personally use this way as when I transcribe something it is because I like what they are doing and I want to be able to do what I'm listening to. So it takes you through what to do with the transcription once you have it down and want to get aspects of it into your own playing. There are a few other good educational articles on his site also.

    I am going to be selling my double bass but I need to put a fair price on it, so would be looking to get it valued by someone reputable or in the absence of being able to do that come up with a ball park figure. I've had various professionals play it and comment on it and its worth which I have kept in mind, but want a more considered price by someone who really knows about these things. The bass is a German 3/4 flatback most likely from the Mittenwald area. Has real purfling. Neck was damaged at some point but was repaired in the 60's in England and as such one of the tuners also does not match. Approx 100-120 years old. Has what I feel is a lovely great sound for jazz. Professionally set up over a year ago with a new adjustable bridge, new Spirocore Weich strings and a Gage Realist pickup and a general once over. I am based in Milton Keynes. Any recommendations? Anyone in the know on here passing through MK?

    [quote name='LowBlow' post='589310' date='Sep 4 2009, 01:29 AM']I thought you had ordered it from Thoman? Do they not have it then? Or are you waiting to buy it in the UK to get the warranty? I was hoping for a review by now! [/quote] I was going to, but they was made a very good offer by a uk retailer that saves quite a bit of money. Although I am tempted now to just pay the extra and get it sooner, although, It would appear Thomann don't actually have it in stock yet either! I think the first company I see that physically has it I'll get it, bored of waiting. I wouldn't mind so much but I sold my phil jones suitcase stack with the intention of getting a new amp and am now ampless.

    THAT is the nicest bass I have ever seen. Congrats to the new owner.
  24. Mikey D
    It would appear that UK stores won't have it until early november now...great.

    Thomann?
