Rabbie replied to fryer's topic in Basses For Sale

-
On hold

[quote name='iamtheelvy' timestamp='1452183271' post='2947382'] Oooh, interesting... What's the power rating of the III? [/quote] 500w I believe. To be fair it actually says 600w on the back of you enlarge the pic.

Bump for reduced price to £300.
-
I don't name, but I sure have called them a few choice names over the years. It was always my fault though...

I'd like this to go to a good home. It's recorded sound is incredible as well as the live experience being such a pleasure. Carrying to the gig is a breeze, no feedback and probably the best amplified sound you have ever had (it was for me). And in as new condition!! My double bass work has completely dried and I don't believe in keeping gear I don't use when I can use the money to finance other projects. Plus, and this is a huge plus, with the removable neck and flight case, you can fly just as trouble free as the guitarist at no surcharge at all. All the best to all.

A bump for this incredible little cab. Make no mistake this is no practice amp: this will nail any "acoustic" or low key gig without a sweat. Also, it's the best possible stage monitor for loud gigs as it's so pure. This on stage and d.i. to Front of House you can arenas. Granted, probably not for metal!! I would defo keep it if I needed it, but I don't use it so it is wasted on me. It us absolutely as new.

BUMP for added photos
-
Withdrawn: I'm keepin' it!
-
Price down to £300. Part of an exchange on this great forum, this is in pristine condition and sounds absolutely lovely, but I no longer need an amp head at all. It comes with an original padded bag, which is a bit tatty but does the job very well indeed. Postage to UK is included in the price.
-
Price down to £1750. I have an almost new Eminence EUB with removable neck and flight case. It's done 7-8 gigs, still absolutely immaculate, flight case never even used. I'm in no rush to sell really but my DB work has dried and I have always seen equipment really pragmatically: it doesn't get used, it goes! I changed the stock strings to D'Addario Zyex, other than that is just like new. It comes with the 2 padded bags (one is for the bass as a whole and one is for just the neck when it is removed). On top of that I'm gonna add in the flight case, which makes it THE best upright travelling option at the best price ever!
-
Dash! Just put it on eBay and I had one bidder so no sorry, head to eBay and I'll mark this as withdrawn. Cheers.
-
Still here: nobody fancy top quality gut on the cheap?
-
Eminence EUBs are a wonderful thing. In a live situation, especially on bigger gigs, you cannot tell the difference between an eminence and a full DB, and you get great tone control, no feedback and zen-like piece of mind that you're gonna have no trouble wrestling with your tone. If one can get over its look, one will love the Eminence IMO. Plus, it sounds great in studio just through a DI, plus you can stick it in a golf flight case and fly all over for no surcharge. Brill. I got one a few weeks back, 5-6 gigs later, an absolute joy.

Thanks Sy. Bumpety-bump.

Just sold my double bass bag to Gareth: great guy, deal with confidence here. Thank you very much.

Bump

Any foot switch tuner recommendations? Boss tu2?
Rabbie replied to lowlandtrees's topic in EUB and Double Bass
iPhone app tuner before the gig and ear on the gig for me. I have a wee Sabine clip on tuner just in case and it picks up low strings harmonics really well. Uh, apologies, just realised this thread is ancient and nobody is looking for the advice any longer. -
The mediums are excellent strings IMO, very powerful, complex, dark. I really enjoyed them on my previous bass.

[quote name='BenTunnicliffe' timestamp='1449703905' post='2926224'] First of all - JEEEEEZ!! 12mm?! yes but bear in mind it was with raw gut strings and primarily slapping sets. Also, while I'm here, I have been told on numerous occasions that it's worth slowly raising the action of your double bass (provided you have an adjustable bridge) as you slowly get your $h1t together and your hands get stronger and that it is the route to sounding more proper..... Myth? [/quote] That was the general consensus in older days, I myself got trapped in that school of thought. Probably myth in 2015 IMO. Truth is: 1- you get older, tire more easily, even as an experienced player. 2 - you become a better musician and wish to express yourself more fluid-ly 3 - you almost always play through an amp or DI. All lf this points to getting a bass that you find enjoyable to play. For some, that means a very low action, for other a slightly higher action, but probably rarely a super high action. Still my opinion though, no gospel by any means.
-
I started off in the 'high action is best' camp and gut strings to boot. I felt that I had somehow to keep the flame of the old guys alive. Had that for years and thought I was the bees knees. Then I saw the light only a couple of months ago. Fed up of struggling with hard to play instruments, switched to low action and steels and I sound waaaaaaaay groovier and more relaxed. My action is not really mega low (7mm-11mm), but it was well high before (12-16mm and guts). The former approach suited me at one time, when slapping was my bread and butter; the latter suits me now, I slap much less. Each to their own I say, listen to your fingers and your years and the decision will be the right one, then keep an open mind anyway.

Nearly new, personally never had it on my bass but bought it as nearly new from a very reputable Basschatter. £35 posted.

Aye, PM me your address please and I'll post them to you sir.

I have a bunch of 1-2 year old guts that are all Lenzner brand and have had various degree of use. It is impossible for me to remember what was used for how long but most gut users believe that guts can and will last for many years, so these are still just at the beginning of their lives hopefully. Anyhow, I have 1 x G (raw gut) 1 x D (raw gut) 2 x A (both raw guts) 1 x E old innovation string goodness knows what kind but metal on the outside and synthetic inside, works really well with guts. 1 x E and A Gut-a-Like Swingmasters Job-lot £60. I'm really not interested in splitting the strings as it would be too much faffing about with postage, so as a deterrent I can sell them singularly for £25 each (and £25 for the innovation and gut-a-likes altogether). Thanks very much.
