Couldn't agree more, that is the avenue I will probably be going down if I buy the bass. Just like to say many thanks for all the replies and advice offered.

Someone is trying to sell me a DB that is in need of some work. Yes you are absolutely right, do I really need two DBs (I think it was more a case of want more than need). Many thanks for the advice
-
I know diddly squat about DB maintenance and have been given the chance to buy a nice looking blonde bass. However there are a few issues, a lot of rattle on F and F# on E string tried card under string at nut end still rattle, card under string at bridge rattle gone, removed card from nut rattle still gone. I was wondering how much (a ballpark figure) a luthier might charge to replace bridge, strings and carry out set up. I'm 74 years old not been playing DB very long, got my other DB just before first lockdown and play mostly Bluegrass and Country.

Many thanks for the replies, most helpful

Many thanks for that, the manual I have is about as much use as an ashtray on a motor bike. Your link however is the dogs dingly dangly bits and confirms what I was hoping was possible ie use monitor out jack on front panel at line level to active speakers.

I have one of the above we used to use before band disbanded. I am doing a one off gig with double bass , 3 vocals and a couple of acoustic guitars and was wondering is it possible to take the output after preamp and before power amp to be passed to active speakers ie use it as a mixer only. I hope this is clear enough but my excuse is I'm old. Cheers Gerry

I have a slight suspicion that it may be fake. I don't think he trashes the guitar he is attempting to play which makes me think the guitar that gets a kicking is a prop

Joe bought my Purple Chili rig, lovely fellow (and his wife) to deal with. Good comms, prompt payment, met at an agreed halfway point but unfortunately he got held up by M4 closure. Would happily deal with Joe again and hope the rig serves him well.

Thanks for that, most enjoyable

I can confirm Mike did indeed build this (ser no MB001/11) and it is awesome and at £500 a steal. It is now on hold. To all those fellow Basschatters my age and older (and younger) offering words of encouragement I thank you but as I said in an earlier post I have not given up just changed direction by learning double bass. -
Head is hybrid, all valve pre amp 3x12ax7 hand wired by Denis Cornell of Cornell Pedals, class D power amp W 48 cms D 30 cms H 19 cms Weight 8.8 Kgs Power 450 watts at 4 ohms (assuming at 8 ohms approx 200 -300 watts, still very loud with just one cab ) Cabs W 52cms D 42 cms H 47 cms Weight 14 Kgs 8 ohms 300 watts All measurements and weights are approx, depending on accuracy of scales and my old eye sight

It's still here at a bargain price and not as heavy as it looks, you know you want it

Thanks Dave,couldn't agree more with that sentiment. I haven't given, up just changed course. During lockdown I acquired a double bass and I am now with three other old guys (two guitars and a uke) doing Western swing, Gypsy jazz and Country and some stuff I wouldn't know what to call it. We can't decide on a band name, front runners are the Del Wrinkles or the Elderly bros

It is with great reluctance I am having to down size, so up for sale is my gigging rig. Band folded a few years ago and at 72 I don't think that another rock band is on the cards. Tolex on the cabs is a bit scruffy but to my eye it looks good. Sadly unwilling to post so collection from Weymouth or meet up within 50 miles. Bass guitar not included in sale (could be with some negotiation)
