artisan Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) in very good condition with just a few minor knocks on the edges,but hey its done dozens of gigs during the last 2 1/2 years so these things happen,all said knocks are minor & just the paint finish has been damaged,otherwise the bass is in very good condition with no issues of any kind. i bought the bass from Thomann in January 2012,it was listed as " 1E BB 3/4 Europe Double Bass " the exact same model is no longer listed on their site. it is of course a laminate construction with an ebony fingerboard & an adjustable bridge,all fittings are in perfect working order. Edit: i have removed all the tacky stickers i had put on the bass & given it a jolly good polish up,it now looks just as good as it sounds. it was setup by our very own Mr Bassman when i first bought it so it plays very well indeed & sounds very nice too. the bass will come fitted with Innovation Super Silver strings which sound rather nice & are very easy on the fingers.

Marc S Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Always loved the colour of this one, from your icon pic. Sadly, I'm trying to sell a DB at the moment ... and she'd go nuts if I brought another one home lol especially if it clashes with the curtains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] nice bike,i do like the classic Triumphs,quite fancy a Bonnie or a Thruxton myself My bass is far too big to send by courier & would cost a small fortune too unless we can find a BC member who is traveling in the right direction to bring it to you.
