Hey Clarky, My vote goes to Malcolm Healey as well. In fact one of mine's going to him tomorrow for a major restoration.

Hi Russ, I have a fully flightcased UL112 if you fancy some sort of trade. I only ever use mine for on stage monitoring/studio and personally I find it complete overkill for that type of thing. I'm based in SE London so not too far away. Cheers, Chris -
I've had 2 full size orchestral basses and a passenger in my corolla before. It wasn't exactly the most comfortable of journeys though.

Back up for sale. Will be based in Birmingham over Xmas if anyone fancies trying it out.

Gwil, I'll take it if it hasn't gone already. I'm London based too so no shipping needed.

Paul Bryant double bass for sale. [SOLD]
chrkelly replied to douglas81's topic in EUBs & Double Basses For Sale
Hi Douglas, Bryants are great basses for the money. I know a few guys that play them as their 2nd instruments. I'd definitely be checking it out if i needed another bass. Have you advertised it on www.musicalchairs.info yet? That would be my first suggestion (it's where a lot of orchestral musos list their basses and I sold my Mentec bass via that site last year). Also because of the price, it should be of a lot of interest to students so knock up a good PDF advert and send it to the relevant departments at the royal academy, royal college, Guildhall, royal northern, trinity, royal Scottish and any other music college you can think of. Good luck with the sale -

Cheers for the offers guys, some top notch instruments. I'm afraid I'll have to turn them down though as I need the cash more than yet another bass! Cheers anyway

Thanks Mick, those look great. Afraid I'm going to have to pass though as I would have no way of trying them out before trading. Cheers anyway, Chris

Hi Slapierro, I'd love an F bass but unfortunately I'd have absolutey no use for the high C. Cheers for the offer though, Chris

Gorgeous bass and an amazing player but I haven't had a dedicated 5 string gig for ages now, and I'm really craving another old precision at the mo. Woods are ash body with a highly figured maple top, maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. MTD custom Bartolini quad coil pickups and MTD custom Bartolini 18 volt 3 band eq with 3 way mid shift switch. The neck is the most comfortable I've ever played on and the instrument is incredibly resonant and alive sounding. Comes with the MTD branded TKL semi-hard case. I'm after £1900 for it collected from London. No trades *EDIT - THIS IS NOW SOLD*

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='949435' date='Sep 8 2010, 02:00 PM']I don't suppose you've tried evah pirazzis? I'm looking for a replacement for them at the moment. I like the dark sound and the way they bow, but they are very high tension and I'd like to slap them more. Also the biggest down-side for me is that they seem to have almost no pizz sustain on the E and A which makes intonation really tricky sometimes. In terms of the thump/sustain, do you know how this set compare to evahs?[/quote] Got Evahs on both of my basses at the mo and love them, great strings. Have you tried other strings on your bass? The reason I say this is because all basses are different and have their own sound, the strings are just a small part of this. Maybe a setup change would be better to get more sustain on the bottom end and make them easier to play (I find them lowish tension). My Tarantino has a very thumpy pizz sound, loads of front to the note and a very fast decay. On the other hand my Mittenwald bass sustains like it's strung with spiros. The notes really bloom. Both basses are strung with the same regular gauge Evahs. The Evahs and Belcantos are similar sounding though I'd say the Belcantos feel more flexible in the hand. The only reason I changed from Belcantos was I felt in arco they just didn't have the power when you really lay into them.
