I thought this had sold on Monday for an agreed price but buyer changed their mind post fund transfer . Willing to offer it for £500 via PayPal or £475 by cash or bank transfer to anyone else as that was what I had agreed with them. Depending on location I will consider courier too.

Not been actively pushing this as it will be a shame to see it go. Email [email protected] or phone if interested. Thanks.

New price=£500.

Photographs now up with amended/lowered price.

I'm selling my Ibanez GWB35. Has a couple of nicks in the lacquer with a small one being on the headstock and others on the back. Otherwise no issues and in excellent working order. Currently strung E - C with Warwick Black Label strings. Now the best bit, all the stock electronics have been upgraded for a custom Nordstrand Dual Coil with exposed pole pieces and the preamp was changed to a BeePre (from Bee Basses). I have owned 2 of these basses, one stock and this beast which has a much improved full warm tone, a musical usable massive range, considerably more output and extremely quiet, but all of this should go without saying with the quality of the upgrades. The control cavity was enlarged and fully shielded with copper foil to fit the new pre and controls, but it still fits underneath the original cover plate. Controls were switched from a single volume and a stacked treble/bass to following:[list] [*]Single volume (with push/pull for active/passive) [*]Mid boost/cut (with push/pull to change the frequency) [*]Stacked treble/bass boost/cut [*]Series/parallel switch [*]Mute switch [/list] The pickup is a custom Nordstrand Dual Coil. A 5 string model wound with the pole pieces closer together that fit in their standard 4-string pickup cover for the Dual Coil as it is the same size as the stock pickup. This was not a cheap upgrade and took time for the custom model to be produced, but it has helped this bass turn into the beast that it is. For more information on upgrades check out respective websites: Bee Pre-Amp [url="http://www.beebasses.com/html/bee_pre.html"]http://www.beebasses...ml/bee_pre.html[/url] Nordstrand [url="http://www.nordstrandpickups.com/bass-pickups/index.shtml"]http://www.nordstran...ups/index.shtml[/url] I don't have any recordings of this apart from a very old Youtube video, which really doesn't do the sound justice: (Here: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtaIKnT8O4M"] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtaIKnT8O4M[/url]) but you can come along and try it for yourself. If you do, you'll need to bring an amp as I don't currently own one. This bass is effortless to play and I will be gutted to see it go, but needs must. I'm honestly finding it hard to put a price on this with used ones I have seen go without upgrades for £350-400, but as forum rules dictate i have to put a price I'll go for [s]£575 £550 [/s] £500 via PayPal or £475 for cash or bank transfer. (I've reconsidered the price). Email: [email protected] or call 07914814348 to organise a viewing/play in Milton Keynes. [s]I'll try and get some pictures up asap.[/s] Here are the pictures: [attachment=109080:photo 1.JPG] [attachment=109084:photo 5.JPG] [attachment=109085:photo 1.JPG] [attachment=109086:photo 2.JPG] [attachment=109081:photo 2.JPG] [attachment=109082:photo 3.JPG] [attachment=109083:photo 4.JPG]

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.
