  1. bump for a dropped price. Will listen to offers but won't take much less than this!
  2. [quote name='Cyrene' timestamp='1383232826' post='2261906'] That's no problem I really should keep it and save for an upright! If you happen to change your mind, do let me know. I'm assuming the size and cost of these suggest that it'd be a good introduction to double bass playing? T [/quote] Definitely, it was a great double bass! It was only the fact that living in a small london flat is a bit unpractical.
  3. Cheers Qlank, BUMP!
  4. Surprised I'm still having to bump this bass!
  5. [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1383346592' post='2263572'] Maybe you just need to give the new playing style time, use a metronome and build up your speed gradually. Just check all your notes are consistent and smooth. [/quote] +1, build up the speed so it moves from conscious playing into sub conscious playing. Then it will be less effort. Also try playing with a lighter touch.
  6. Hi, I'm not interested in dealing with deposits but will PM
  7. Disagree, VM's I've played have been good and well set up. It's mass produced though, some are always going to be crap and it's always been that way. If you didnt try any basses because they had one negative comment, you wouldn't have much choice.
  8. [quote name='Cyrene' timestamp='1383228634' post='2261834'] Hi. I have a mint Fender Classic '50s P bass in Fiesta red. Would this be something you'd be interested in? I am in London in two weeks. T [/quote] Sorry forgot to say I'm not after any trades. Although I know those 50's classics are lovely basses I really need to cut down.
  9. Perfect twin for the overwater 5! Almost identical white.
  10. Now for sale at The Bass Gallery: http://www.thebassgallery.com/product_details.cfm?ID=2778&type=Bass%20Guitar
  11. Bit of interest but nothing concrete, so bump!
  12. Chromatic clip on tuner. The only successful one I have tried. I used it on my DB but it also suits guitar, bass, mandolin and ukulele. Looking for just £12 posted, a third of what I paid for it new a couple of years ago.
  13. A must bit of kit for anyone who plays double bass live. Comes with original box and documents. £100 posted or collection from canary wharf.
  14. Possibly one of the most used and best known double bass pickups. It gives real depth to the tone. Unfortunately I'm selling off all my double bass gear so this must go to. Comes with original box and manuals. For sale for £105 posted uk or collected from canary wharf, London. No trades
  15. Adams a great buyer, very quick payment and lots of communication.
  16. I has the 60th anniversary stamp which means it was built/ finished in 2006. Haven't played the newer models but these ones were very good
  17. [quote name='White Cloud' timestamp='1382797802' post='2256687'] These are great basses. Bump! [/quote] Sure are! Bored, storm hype bump
  18. Pics now added.
  19. Five Black Hipshot HB6Y ultralight tuners. These are the 13mm ones. I got them in a trade as I was hoping to start a project to build a fretless but time and money ran out so they are back for sale. They are brand new although when I got them I got them without the original box to save on postage fee's but i have a smaller box to post them in. Selling to raise money. £90 posted.
  20. [quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1382338056' post='2250665'] Stafford is quite some distance away. I think I'd need to take a train to Birmingham and change. It would take me hours to get there, I think. [/quote] It really is! Even by car its near an hour and a half. If you're going for one off lessons it really has to be with someone quality and when I lived in leicester I only found one guy who used to teach at the Soundcontrol but he had to stop for health reasons. Might be worth asking in Sheehans if they know of anyone.
  21. Dont know if this has been posted before. [url="http://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/7-stages-of-gear-acquisition-syndrome-585947"]http://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/7-stages-of-gear-acquisition-syndrome-585947[/url]
  22. [quote name='mikeh' timestamp='1381146669' post='2234885'] Location? [/quote] Seems to be south. http://www.thefivebeats.co.uk/diary.php
