Yes that's them.
Duke basses have large f holes so these should cover any others I would think.
They work beautifully well.

just a little bump for this superb quality bass.
i think you'd struggle to find a bass that plays or sounds anywhere near as good as this one for the price.
so if you are thinking of upgrading or indeed just buying a quality double bass look no further
in a very recent test it absolutely blew away a very nicely set up strunal bass on both tone & volume
it really is a powerful sounding bass

I had chance to check this bass out in person a couple of weeks ago and was very impressed, I brought my little zoom portable recorder with me, so for anyone who is potentially interested in this bass and wondering what it sounds like for styles other than slap, here are a couple of audio clips to get an idea - we were chatting while I was noodling so the playing isn't the best ever, but the recordings give a good sense of the core sound of the bass.

Neil has already covered most of the relevant points with regard to this bass in his ad, but I think one of the most important positive aspects of this bass (and the other Duke that I have had chance to spend some quality time with) is that it produces sound very efficiently, so you don't have to kill yourself pulling a big sound from it, which makes it easy on the hands(and everything else) to play for long periods of time.

Thanks for that matey,much appreciated.

It is a wonderful sounding instrument,I would say deeper & punchier in "real life" but the recording does give a good idea of the sound.
It also shows how golden slaps sound arco too,I was quite impressed.

I could really do with moving this on guys,I'm hoping to buy a new 5 string bass guitar to use in my new band but can't do that until I sell this.

Someone must need a beautiful double bass surely 😆
I may be open to a sensible offer so give me a shout
Cheers

Did it not sell yet, although very interested it is the travelling that is still a problem for me!!!!!

I'll very happily meet you half way if it helps at all.
It's worth the drive 😀

I must admit I thought it would have gone pretty quickly,quite a bit of interest but a few time wasters too unfortunately.
