  1. Thomann has this new for £140 plus postage (£150). That's crazy cheap for this quality of bag but sorts of knocks my price way off, so £95 for a bag that is still as new in terms of condition, though it has been used so it may not be in sterile condition.
  2. PS I'm in Perth Scotland so probably too far for most but pickup is welcome. Insured postage for this is in the region of £40, so if you are happy with a lesser option or know a better option obviously that's money off the price.
  3. Good point Owen and luscious it is indeed. It's weight is actually surprisingly light for the beef it puts out but we are still roughly 43-52lb, I think more or less 20kg but I may be wrong. I prefer it upright as in photo but yes you an use it wedge as well. All the info from Greenboy are here http://greenboy.us Any query of course contact me and I will do my best to answer. I can guarantee top top top top class sound here, honest guys. I'm not all that clued up in technicalities but the website above does a good job of answering most tecchy queries.
  4. Or my Tom & Will bag for sale in the classifieds? Shameless shameless shameless advertising here....
  5. Arg, just posted this on the wrong section: can a lovely moderator please put it in the amps and cabs section. Thanks.
  6. Rare as hen's teeth on here and absolutely best cabinet I have tried. Brand new made for me by the great guys at Tricky Audio in August, BUT simply too powerful for my upright uses and too difficult to take to the gig in a car which also has a double bass and a band member with several guitars and his amp. I am now getting a crazy 8 from the same maker, which will cover 80% of my needs. These guys are truly great and make a wonderful product. Don't take it from me, search the Internet and find reviews and opinion on the Greenboy fearless. £750 posted in the UK. The sound is absolutely the best sound I have ever had in a loud setting. It is indeed loud and clear beyond its size, like all reviews will say. Again, only selling as too large and powerful for my double bass needs and because I need the money. Happy to trade with small and light cabs like Crazy8, or Phil Jones stuff plus balance my way. Thank you very much. [attachment=206039:IMG_0001.JPG]
  7. One week old, here's the last remaining item of my clearout. Pirastro Oliv A string, gut inside, luscious flat wound wrap outside. New they cost an eye watering amount of money as you know. I got it one week old off Talkbass only a month ago and never fitted it on my bass.
  8. If you PM me your email I can send you an image of the actual one. And here is the link online to the full description http://www.gear4music.com/Woodwind-Brass-Strings/DISC-Tom-and-Will-3-4-Double-Bass-Gig-Bag-Black-and-Yellow/111U
  9. The best reproduction of the double bass sound IMO. I and no feedback (at least at humane volumes, drummer included). This stuff is the best, go check out the retail price if you need a coronary. I bought it here a while back for £400, so passing it on with a considerable saving. The system consists of the Schertler DynB contact microphone and the Pre A III acoustic preamp. Some people like to use their own preamp, but Schertler does not recommend it, saying their preamp is optimised for their mics. If you wished to buy only the mic, despite Schertler's advice, that would be £200, and £100 for the preamp. It's the older model, the one without the blue, which is better, cause you don't need phantom power. PS- reason for sale is that my Bryant has gone, so I don't need a mic for a good bass.
  10. Black and yellow. Super protective and in superb condition. One year old, no issues. RRP £225. Get it her for £95
  11. Bump at £40, now in eBay as well, so I shall withdraw or from here.
  12. Blimey! Never seen a bass going this fast! A very eminent classical pro came to my house today and snapped it up for his son who is going to music uni. Less than 24 hours after advertising it! Thanks for the encouraging words everyone. I know I sold it for less than worth, but I'm not a greedy person, that's how much j had paid for it and especially it's going to be played at the standards it deserves.
  13. Down to 80 quid for 4 practically new strings, 2 of which are gut....
  14. Every few years, I convince myself that I need a carved bass. But I don't , I really really don't. I am a plywood player and I enjoy the way plys sound and feel. I drove from Scotland all the way to the genius that is Mr Bryant to get this bass. Paul is a gentleman and a legend: his basses need somebody to play them, not to keep them in the house. So this has to go, plus I need the money real bad. I am told that this bass is valued at 6-7k, but I only want what I paid for it. If you are reading this ad, you already know about Paul's basses, so need for me to go on about it. This Bryant's bass number 107, is a couple of years old and it comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by Paul, of course. This is a large ¾ size orchestral instrument closely modeled on a bass by John Lott, the king of English double bass making. A flat back bass with the characteristic high back angle. A well proportioned instrument with a body length of 113cm. 44.5ins and a string stop of 105cm. 41.4ins A very playable bass. This bass has a back, sides and head of medium figure English sycamore, the front is of medium grain Alpine spruce. Fitted with fine quality Baker style machines. The instrument is covered with golden brown oil varnish. I am in Scotland, happy to drive a bit to meet, and happy for people to come try the bass at my house. Please hit me with questions.
  15. The selling spree continues. Bought on Talkbass last week, apparently only one week old (they do indeed look new apart from the windings areas). on my bass 3 days. Round wound not my thing. Yes it's £40 for the pair so gigantic savings for the regular guy like me who fancies trying real gut at the bottom.

    Pick up

    Bassace just gave you the best possible reply. What he said is THE truth. Like him, I somewhat miss the excitement of starting out on DB and I wish you loads of success. For sure you'll find lots of advice and encouragement on this part of the forum.
  17. Just completed a very pleasant amp trade with Stevie. Top guy, excellent communication and very safe packaging! Top class.
