  1. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 1 post to view.
  2. Brand new never out of the packets. Price includes postage.
  3. Eastman VB105 is a hybrid double bass with carved Spruce front, carved Maple back and laminate ribs. It has had its varnish hand applied which gives it a lovely visual finish. The carved front and back give the bass a great sound whilst the laminate ribs improve the robustness of the bass. Comes with quality softcase and 2 sets of spare unused strings and bow. Setup and bought from Bassbags https://www.bassbags.co.uk/product/eastman-vb105-double-bass-fully-setup-spirocore-strings/ Krivo Pickup Not getting used due to a change in direction. Delivery possible by negotiation.
  4. NOW SOLD ELSEWHERE (NOT eBay thank Goodness) THANKS
  5. As requested pics of headstock front and back. Thanks
  6. Hi. I've decided that keeping this beauty in its case unplayed isn't appropriate. I'm not playing now so it's time to sell. The bass is virtually unmarked, very close to original shop condition. No marks or dings and no fret wear. 100% original down to the last screw. Neck totally straight. It comes supplied in the original case and includes all swing tags, original strings and 70's spare set, instruction manual and inspection tag. Is there another all original 70's sunburst Jazz as stunning as this anywhere else? Weight 4.1kg on digital scales No trades thanks. Happy to personally deliver to most areas in the Uk by arrangement. Shipping to other countries by arrangement My Original Post in May Just thought I should share my great fortune/ honour in becoming the only the second custodian of an unmarked 73 / transition jazz bass. Before I share the story, I know that the bass has the black scratch normally found from 74, but I've seen the original receipt from Carlsbro Sound in Mansfield clearly marked Sept 1973. So the bass is 100% original down to the original case, original paperwork, inspection tag, owners manual and spare set of flatwounds ! Having saved his hard earned cash for years, the original owner, John B sadly passed away suddenly and his wife couldn't bring herself to part with the her husband's pride and joy, which has been sat under the bed until now. His wife decided to pass the bass on to someone else and I was recently invited to the family home to hear the story for myself. I have several photos of the John playing the bass in his band. I can't share them on here as they aren't mine to share but I can assure you the bass is visible clear as day, including John's initials on the lower horn, as was the trend in the 70's apparently and which are still on the bass now . . . . I promised I wouldn't remove them. Of course when I 1st saw the bass, apart from being floored by the stunning condition, I assumed JB stood for Jazz Bass! So an incredible, virtually show room condition beautiful jazz bass, preserved in time.
  7. Appreciate the kind comments . . . . thanks all. I'm a strong believer that we bass players are borne to be bass players and so I'm sure that John will be looking down on us pleased to have left a little legacy behind to be enjoyed by us! Just as an aside I was lucky enough to catch Jeff Beck play in Sheffield on Sunday night. Joined by the amazing talent of Rhonda Smith on bass, Anika Niles on the kit . . . . wow . . . mind blowing and a mad guest appearance on guitar and Vox by Johnny Depp ! Just when I thought I'd seen it all !
