    Oh crap! Must resist. This used to be my main workhorse and it's an absolute beast of a bass, alway's regretted selling it. Good luck with the sale Len, I'm half tempted myself

    It's a device that mounts on your music stand and gives you full control over your own headphone mix. It's kinda like a simplified mixing desk. Very useful if there's not much time for soundchecks. If you're relying on just the soundman I'd recommend buying a cheap in line volume control to prevent yourself being deafened.

    I'll post a better reply once I'm not on my iPhone but headphone choice is quite personnal. I use beyer 770s which are quite bass heavy but the sennheiser hd25s are also a popular choice. Or go in ear but if you're doing several several shows a day they're not that comfy unless you go for custom moulds (very expensive). Definitely go closed to avoid bleed into any mics though. Are you using Avioms?

    Edgar is probably my favourite soloist. Check out his recording of the Bottesini concerto, there's so many great players out there but none can touch him on that recording. It's on a completely different level! Think it may be on spotify.

    Yet another clearout! La bella FL flats xl scale 5 string, 43-128 tapered B - bought to try on my MTD but that bass definitely prefers stainless rounds. Cut for the mtd headstock 2/3 config, they won't fit a Fender. Only on the bass a day - £20 La bella FL flats 4 string (43-104) - cut for Fender headstock, used but still years of life in them - SOLD Ernie Ball group 4 flats (40-95) - on a bass when I bought it but way too light for me, cut for Fender headstock, good condition - SOLD Rotosound trubass black nylon (65-115) - cut for fender headstock, very low tension despite heavy gauge, good condition - SOLD Gotoh 203 bridge - no screws (unless I can find them again!). Very solid fender style replacement but I definitely prefer the sound of the original bent tin one - SOLD All prices inc postage. Cheers, Chris

    Hey NS, apololgies for the delay, work's been crazy. Pics below as promised.

    Sure I completely agree with the principle, anything that makes flying with a bass easier and less stressful is a very good thing. I just wonder why they didn't go all the way with the downsizing and make it very portable (like the Kolstein travel bass or the Eminence for example) rather than just chop the bottom half. Haven't played an Auray before but his normal basses are meant to be pretty tasty as far as new instruments go. I wonder how long it takes for it to settle down after refitting the neck and bridge.

    [quote name='NAS' post='618324' date='Oct 6 2009, 10:45 AM']I might be interested in this. Can you post a closeup picture of the crack in the neck? Would you be prepared to pack it up and ParcelForce it if I paid the delivery and insurance costs? Thanks, NS[/quote] Sure, I'll sort some pics out tomorrow. I have an old hardcase somewhere that I can send it in, though I'd prefer to meet in person if possible. Cheers, Chris

    I've played one but to be honest didn't really see the point. It played ok, didn't have much acoustic volume or depth and just looked ugly. They're not that much smaller than a normal bass and the flightcase is still big and bulky. If you wanted a small touring bass you could find a far superior 1/2 size for that kind of money. That said, a lot of people seem to like them though.

    [quote name='gnasher1993' post='601349' date='Sep 17 2009, 02:41 PM']Hi guys, I'm looking for a double bass teacher based in/around Leeds. Although jazz is my passion, I want to learn to play classical music and specifically learn about arco technique. Does anyone know of any teachers? Cheers, AJ[/quote] Best bet would be to get in contact with one of the Opera North players. I'm sure the orchestra's admin would pass on a message for you.

    Zon's take on the super j. It's a great bass but unfortunately the very slim neck is beginning to give me left hand problems (and I could do with some cash!). It's in reasonably good condition, it's worn roundwounds it's whole life and has very little wear due to the composite fingerboard. There is a small crack at the heel of the neck on the g side that was there when I bought it but it's nothing to worry about. Lots of usuable sounds from the Zon custom Barts and Zon pre. Controls are master, pan, stacked treble and bass, mids with 3way frequency select. Harmonics ring out enough to make you think you're Michael Manring. Balances nicely and has great access across both octaves on the neck. I'd like £800 firm (a new one will set you back $3500 in the US) Here's the link to Tim's original for sale thread [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=46466&hl=zon+sonus"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...mp;hl=zon+sonus[/url] I'm in SE London and would prefer to meet up in person, however I do travel with work so could sort something out if convenient.

    Hi Mikey, I'd guess it would probably be around the £4000 mark but better take it to a luthier who knows their stuff to be sure. Thwaites are bass specialists and are down in Watford so not to far from you. Anyone else I know of are down in south London.

    On my Tarrantino upright it measures 6, 9, 9mm on the E string. Take off the E capo so the string becomes a low C and it jumps to 12, 12, 11mm for the same positions. Scale length is 110cm/134cm extended. Strings are heavy Pirastro original flatchromes. Height wise it's a medium orchestral setup but the string length is quite big. I've got big hands though. Haven't measured the electrics yet, though I'd consider them medium. I can't play dynamics with anything too low.

    Just bought Clarky's Harvest bag so this almost new Warwick bag is surplus to requirements. [url="http://www.warwick-distribution.de/?katID=21861&cl=EN&did=1"]This is the one[/url] I've had it about a month and it's only been out of the house 2 or 3 times. Loads of padding, nice velvet interior and loads of pockets. original cost £55 plus postage from Thomann. How's £35 collected/£40 posted sound
