Steve A Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 (edited) Back for sale due to the need to buy a hollow-bodied bass for a new project at the end of the year. Refinished in Dakota red about 20 years ago according to previous owner. This bass sounds fantastic. A big warm sound with the included Rotosound flatwounds. The bass is clear due to the maple fingerboard but warm and full. The body is of medium weight. A very comfortable bass to play. There is no case with this bass. £850, collection from Birmingham or can deliver within 25 miles.

Steve A Posted October 3, 2008 Author Share Posted October 3, 2008 Wesfinn, it's reasonably heavy but not incredibly so. With a comfort strap it's been no problem for me at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve A Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 Ha ha! Thanks Garry, bump appreciated. I hate to sell such a beauty but it's the only way to afford a double bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6stringbassist Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Have you thought of hiring a bass, I had one from Thwaites that was quite nice, seems a shame to sell this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly not heavy enough to make the weight a key factor in whether you would buy it or not. Looks nicer in the flesh as well!!

Hamster Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I'm surprised your selling this as it's a lovely bass - a definite keeper! But if you want to buy a fat violin.......................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve A Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 (edited) Ha ha! I think I might try and rent a double bass for a while rather than taking the plunge and buying one. Decided to keep the Moon Jazz as it's so wonderful (I've still only used it on a couple of gigs since buying it earlier in the year...). I'm not 100% on selling the P bass but I've seen a lovely Lakland 5 string on here and I do have a 1969/70 sunburst P bass that I love and use more for live work than the red one these days. Nice to have one strung with roundwounds and one with flats but it's a bit of a luxury and... I would like a nice 5 string... Mmmmm.
