£475 ono Phil Jones Bass BG-150 Flightcase Portable Bass Combo Immaculate condition. Only ever done quiet restaurant gigs with it - never gone above 50% volume and well looked after - amazing sound with my double bass but also sounds nice when I play my Ubass through it. Also comes with cover. Based in Manchester - any trial welcome. -
£100 - Bargain. -
Weekend bump. No sensible offer refused.

120watt 12” wedge design combo with footswitch. Good as new – only gigged twice (can submit photos if anyone is interested – no wear at all). Originally bought as a practice amp to leave in rehearsal rooms only to find out there’s a bass amp there already! Info from [url="http://www.playrecord.net/amps--pa/bass-amps/behringer-120watt-2channel-bass-combo-with-di-out.p2714.html"]http://www.playrecord.net/amps--pa/bass-am...-out.p2714.html[/url] [i]ULTRABASS combo combines raw power with an amazingly flexible 2-channel preamp section and an abundance of professional I/O options rarely found in bass combos, to give you everything you need in a bass combo and then some. Its oversized power supply, along with our revolutionary, DYNAMIZER circuitry and the carefully designed bass reflex enclosure, ensure that the short-circuit proof, virtually indestructible power amp with its two-speed thermo-controlled fan will always deliver to its full capability without sacrificing punch or sound quality. Weighs 22KG[/i] I think they’re discontinued but the link I’ve pasted in are selling them at £240 (I bought it new for £160). Offers ?

[quote name='guyl' post='244498' date='Jul 21 2008, 03:48 PM']The adjustable bridge is a great idea. You can experiment and find the right set up for you (or even change depending on the gig!) I think the "right" height/ease of play is as much to do with the tension of your strings and shape of the fingerboard. Good Luck with your new bass!![/quote] I totally agree guyl. I had adjusters fitted on my bass about a year ago and it has allowed me to experiment with different string heights to suit both my playing and to get the best sound (for me) out of this particular bass. One important lesson I have learned is that the 'Higher action = greater volume' is not strictly true as the increased pressure seems to choke the sound and sustain. My advice to a beginner would be to get adjusters fitted and only go as high as needed to let the bass speak properly without excessive string clatter. Don't overdo it with string height initiallly - you won't get a machismo medal, you'll just end up with tendonitis.

I’ve just reduced the price of my double bass on the ‘Basses for Sale’ section. If any of you doublers know of a student or aspiring jazzer that needs a good instrument (Fully carved - no plywood) for £750 I’d be so grateful if you could pass the word on. Cheers Chris

SSD neck thru body 4 string electric bass bought new in late 90s for £650. Dark blue in colour, EMG pickups, 2 volume pots (1 per pickup) and bass and treble pots. You can find details of all Stuart Spectors previous creations on this site. [url="http://www.spectorbass.com/NewFiles/modelhistory.html"]http://www.spectorbass.com/NewFiles/modelhistory.html[/url] It plays really nice but I've not played a gig on EB for years since taking the plunge on DB (everyone should have a go! [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=13989&hl=Double)"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...&hl=Double)[/url]. Anyone interested or care to suggest a price? If you're interested let me know if I will go to the trouble of posting photos (added 9/3/08) . I'm based in Manchester if anyone wants to try it. Mint condition - £320. Chris

A bump to bring to the attention of all those Eb'ers that really should take the plunge.
