Hmm i found a Rental place but its quite a distance from me, Train trip to Edinburgh it seems. however i did bounce some questions at the provider Make, strings, insurance blah blah. i do hope it works out well. cause id hate to have to start hunting again, terribly frustrating.

I like my ladies with curves like my Bass

[/quote] Aberdeen, Scotland Yo Owen, i know dont need to drop alot to get Plonkin, but id rather spend what i can to get the best possible setup. though after the last Gear4Music incident i wouldnt touch them with a 20ft cattle prod.

ill be happy if i can find a playable one for £250 within a range i can pick it up, but like it was said above [quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1359989472' post='1963031'] It's really difficult to find anything as good in the used market if you've got a limited budget, so it looks like online shopping from the sausage-lovers is the way to go. [/quote] ive been reading up on whats available and i might buy new or if something comes up on this awesome forum. Though i still need to sell the Stagg atleast i still got the box

Travelling to get a double bass is a bit of a mission as we only have a Micra though for the right price i would strap myself to the roof.

I have to sell the Stagg to get the funds for a Accoustic. Taxman and work dont pay that well.

After practicing on my Stagg EUB for the last few months ive come to the conclusion that i want a propper Double Bass. Any recommendations on the place to look for one? been lookin at some on Thomann tempting as the price is what i can afford if i sell my Stagg. bugger then i'll have to look into new strings, stand, pickup ... open to suggestions.

I think i remember seeing Brian Setzer and his orchestra there was 2 Double basses being played by 3 people. i think, or that might have been dueling Bassists.

Getting my Spiro mediums after i get back from Amsterdam, must save money...for ...tourist...stuff

It is nice, too far for me to go get it.

[quote name='bassace' timestamp='1358014440' post='1931905'] I use industrial alcohol. You can get it at Maplin. It seems to do some good because the cloth is quite gunky after cleaning. Doesn't taste too good tho'. [/quote] You can use it as engine degreaser, rocket fuel or molotov coctails. I will add string cleaning to Alcohol's wonderful list of useful uses
