That's a steal for this rig.

I totally agree 👍 

I have retired from gigging so just want this to go to someone who will use it.

A beautiful German made Double Bass in very good condition very good build quality on these.
Perfect for slap or pizzicato playing or could be setup for arco if that's your thing.
Nicely set up & strung with a good set of Evah Pirazzi slap strings,which are very good for pizz too,very old school gut sounding.
Sounds sublime & plays very well.
Comes with a well padded gigbag & has a K&K Bassmax pickup fitted.
Gorgeous instrument,selling as I have retired from gigging & this will just collect dust.
Collection only

unless this is broken it is far too cheap

 

Lol definitely not broken,I just want it sold as I won't be needing it now

ABM600 EVO IV in immaculate condition & full working order.

Absolutely brilliant amplifier,the best I've had in the last 44 years of playing bass.

It's 2 years old but is totally undamaged & bears no battle scars.

Plus a nice Markbass NY122 speaker cab complete with Roqsolid cover.

This makes a fairly small,powerful & great sounding rig.

Speaker cab also in excellent condition & perfect working order.

(I removed the Markbass logo as I think it looks tacky)

For sale only as a complete bass rig at a bargain price so absolutely no lower offers please.

Selling as I have retired from gigging & bass playing.

Collection only from Harrogate 

Cheers 

Jack Sabbath ( my old band ) are looking for a new bassist 

Any Sabbath fans looking to join a brilliant Black Sabbath covers band ?

Absolutely lovely set of blokes & a really good laugh too.

Gigs booked 

York based

Pm me if interested & I'll pass your details on.

Ps I have decided to hang up my gigging bass after being at it for 38 years.

Was a very tough decision as the guys are all good friends but I guess I just fell out with the late nights.

It's Gamba shaped where the other was Violin shaped,other than that from memory it plays just the same.

It came with some old gut-a-likes which were horrible,so it's now wearing a set of Evah Pirazzi Slap strings,the synthetic set & I really like them a lot

I regret not being able to raise the funds to buy it off you when it was for sale - you'll have to give us a report on how the new one compares, and a string run down(assuming you don't have golden slaps on it)

Thank you.

It's a different Duke I happily stumbled upon fairly local to me & at a good price.

Always regretted selling the other one.

May possibly end up doing something with my brother but probably not the old band.

Finally got my hands on another DB after six years without one.

I'm somewhat rusty but loving it 

Edit- stuck 'em on & no problem what so ever 😁

I have just bought s set of EP Slap strings,the full synthetic set.

My newly acquired bass is currently wearing Gut-a-like black strings,which I don't like at all.

The EP's are way smaller than the old strings so the nut slots are too wide & deep.

Will this cause me a major problem 

Cheers 

They are superb basses,congratulations 

Love mine to bits however I've pre sold it for after my final rock gig next Saturday 

My NG2 & D roc 4 strings both have a fairly wide neck but not quite P bass,they are both very comfortable for me.

Personally I don't get on with skinny J bass type necks.

I bought  a new 4 string ABZ which I stupidly assumed would have a similar neck to my other Dingwalls,however it was far too skinny for me so was moved on.

It was passive & sounded weedy whatever setting I used,I even tried some other pickups but it was totally blown away by my D roc.

It's a bit rough round the edges but gives a good example of what we sound like live - which is the whole point 😁

( obviously it's not a live video )

That looks gorgeous. What’s the history of the brand? ….. never heard of them before. 

https://modernvintageguitars.com/product-category/modern-vintage-instruments/modern-vintage-basses/

They are very high quality basses modeled on instruments from the company owners collection of vintage basses.

It is a lovely bass & had a really warm punchy tone.

I'd keep if if I could 

Selling my beautiful Surf Green Modern Vintage MVP-62 (P bass) as I have a large incoming vet bill to pay,plus I always use my Dingwall these days.

It's in mint (yes it's green 😁) condition & comes with an immaculate TGI Ultimate gig bag.

The bass is strung with 45 - 105 Elixir strings & I also have a set of nearly new Thomastik flats I can chuck in.

Plays beautifully & sounds fantastic with a beautiful roasted maple neck.

Collection from Harrogate or meet up only please,I can't post this.

Cheers

Thank you

Hi,this is my bands latest studio recording,almost live 😁

Drums done in one take 

Vocal in one take

Bass & guitar took two takes.

It's not perfect but only took a couple of hours from start to finish.

We go out as a Black Sabbath covers band so don't try to fully mimic the original recordings,just have loads of fun playing them.

Please have a listen & feel free to comment

I’m thinking about an ABM600 as an alternative to my (much loved) GB Streamliner 900. How are you finding the ABM? Still loving it? Tell me that I won’t miss the extra 300 watts of power amp! 😆

Yes definitely still loving it & it has absolutely bags of power on tap.

The Darkglass was rated at 900 Watts & if anything the ABM feels much more powerful,the controls work in a more pleasing way too.

It would be hard to make this amp sound crap I think.

Love the blue but personally I just wish Gibson made an EB3 reissue instead of the SG

In fairness a new abm600 is a fantastic price. All the amp you'll ever need, repairable, powerful, great tone and built like a tank.

 

Compare that to some cheaper class d ones out there and there no comparison ....

+1

I very recently paid £649 for mine new & think it's an absolute bargain considering just how brilliant it is.

Best amplifier I ever had.

OK so it's a brand new amp,but after years using various class D heads I've swapped back to A/B buying an Ashdown ABM 600 Evo IV & am loving it.

It sounds absolutely epic though my Markbass 2X12,ideally I would like a nice heavy old 4X10 but alas my arthritis wouldn't like it.

(I even sold the wireless to be a proper old fart)

Bonnie bass that is 

Absolutely love my new ABM 600 evo IV.

It is the best sounding amp I have owned in the 42 years I've been playing.

So easy to get a good tone out of these,as above shape button in (disengaged) & a pretty flat eq does it for me with mid slightly boosted,treble slightly cut.

I just use the sliders for fine tuning to different rooms,however my P sounds massive through this.

One of my favourite things though is the valve drive,I just love it 😀 

My "clean" tone it's set at 1 o'clock & up full for pure filth,it is fantastic,no use for my bass driver anymore.
