Antoni Debut 3/4 Double Bass with Fishman Full Circle fitted SOLD
£500


Recommended Posts

Hi Bass chatters

I'm selling my first upright. It's a 3/4 sized Antoni Debut Bass with a Fishman Full Circle pickup fitted.

I bought this bass off my DB teacher who was given it by a friend. He vetted the bass before selling it to me and and he said it was a great beginner upright and It's served me well. It has a great full sound and is really solid without any rattles. I had the bass set up by Paul Bryant as he lives round the corner from my in-laws, he changed the strings and re-shaped the bridge and nut for me. This was over a year ago now and I've changed the strings a few times since then so could probably do with a bit of a setup, but it's in great playable condition as is.

I've played the bass with a few bands at gigs and recording sessions. Engineers love the sound of the Fishman Full Circle, it gives a great 'natural' sound.

The bass is of laminate construction with an ebonized fingerboard. It's in great condition with just a couple of marks (see pics). It's currently strung with innovation honeys, I'll chuck in some Innovation Super Silvers if the buyer wants them too.

This is a great example of a 'cheap chinese bass' and would suit a beginner or would be great as a beater for gigs where you don't want to take your 'vintage' bass. If I could afford it and had the room I'd keep this but I'm sticking with my Stagg EUB as a back up bass as I need the silent practice that affords.

It comes with a cheap cover and bow too.

I'm asking for £500 for this collected from Manchester (I'm in Dukinfield 5 mins from the M60) or I can deliver if you cover my fuel, I often travel to Shropshire and Worcestershire as I have family there.

You can here recordings of the bass here:

My Guitarist was round today so we recorded a couple of samples with a handheld recorder, this is the bass with Innovations honeys on:

Hi Phil.

That's why I bought it. I learnt the basics, got a grasp of what the instrument was about and without the outlay of a pricier instrument in case upright wasn't for me.

Get in touch if you'd like to come and try it out.

Thanks

Pete

If you were nearer I'd be all over this!

I recently made a 700 mile round trip for a bass. They are the kind of instrument that you may need to travel for, and usually worth it ;).
