AndyJR81 Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 (edited) Heart breaking forced sale due to car being written off in the same week landlord has informed me that my rent is increasing. The bass is a Stentor 1950 3/4 Upright, which has been set up fairly low for jazz style. Very good condition, a few very small (barely noticeable) scuffs, but a really nice tone for an entry level bass according to my tutor. Brand new bow and padded gig bag included. Buyer to collect or arrange own courier (suggest Delsol) - based in Abergele in North Wales. Contact Andy 07549 631514 (by text during day if thats ok). Edited September 24, 2013 by AndyJR81
sarah thomas Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Don't break your heart! Keep the bass. I'll give you a tenner to keep it. Anyone else? Maybe together we can make it happen ...
AndyJR81 Posted September 12, 2013 Author Posted September 12, 2013 lol that has just put a huge smile on my face, wanted one for 10 years and only bought this year so it really is gutting to have to do. It will only be temporary though I've gotten myself hooked!

Cant have someone depriving themselves of a good 'dance' ( OP - sorry that's probably something that only Sarah will get ) . Great bass the Stentor ...and a great price - but I hope you change your mind and keep it!
AndyJR81 Posted September 12, 2013 Author Posted September 12, 2013 Will depend if I can sort out some other source of income - the next 6 months are going to be a real trier. Just so everyone knows that is NOT me in the picture its my good friend who at 5 foot is utterly bemused at the size of the bass - and shocked to learn they go even bigger!
sarah thomas Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Selling your bass doesn't get you another source of income, though. It gets you £550 or slightly less. You've got £20 already in the pot to help you keep it. There may be more ... Is there anything else you can sell? A kidney, perhaps?
AndyJR81 Posted September 12, 2013 Author Posted September 12, 2013 No I'm writing a couple of articles it will net me £520 if they get published - think I could live without a kidney. Which way to the black market please
Owencf Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 (edited) Hehe that one of your mate made me chuckle. shame to let the bass go, id keep it if your able. Sell the telly much better idea uhh the black market is thataway Edited September 12, 2013 by Owencf
AndyJR81 Posted September 17, 2013 Author Posted September 17, 2013 I have managed to sort out a rental in the short term so I am relisting!

My only proviso is that Andy returns the favour to a struggling musician in similar situation sometime in the future when his salary as a pro' allows it
AndyJR81 Posted September 17, 2013 Author Posted September 17, 2013 Deal and agree that going down the dark and oft lonely road of the upright should be a one way trip!
