Bump with video from makers and testimonials [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=gQEn2jlaGd4#t=100"]http://www.youtube.c...En2jlaGd4#t=100[/url] [b] satisfied is an understatement![/b] "After 2 years of looking for a professional level Acoustic bass to play in my Bluegrass band, I finally settled on the Breedlove and man was I taken by surprise a bit. Not only does this bass have a great tonal range, but the truss system helps to keep it in perfect tune 99% of the time, even after rough traveling. It looks fantastic, and the Bluegrass purists tell me it sounds the closest to my Old upright bass than any they have heard. To say I am satisfied is an understatement! My wish now is to get a custom shop model built for me, that I can play the festival tour with. I am sold, and a big thank you to "Breedlove" for their attention to detail, and excellent playability!" "Thumper" The "Cane Creek" Bluegrass Band [b] Best Sounding Fretless Bass[/b] I just came back from checking out this fantastic fretless bass made by your company. I compared it to several others; all of them were made by well-known American, Japanese or German brands and considerably more costly (some of them more than twice as much) - but none of them could really catch up. I'd just like to let you know that this is honestly the best sounding fretless acoustic bass I've ever played - whether unplugged or amplified. And it's alo good-looking and perfectly finished. Great playability, especially the neck is wonderful! Comes equipped with good strings, too.

Thats a great price for a top quality, ready-made, ultra-portable DB rig. Have a bump on me

Sunday bump for a top quality acoustic bass that is beautifully engineered and a cut above most acoustic basses

PS, here is the LR Baggs preamp which has a comprehensive EQ section and phase switch (this is a different Baggs preamp from the one shown in the BassDirect link, hence I thought it best to add to thread) [attachment=145390:DSCF0611.JPG]

I got this mint condition, top quality acoustic bass about a month ago from BC'er dudi8. While most acoustic basses are a bit [i]meh[/i], this is much more clever with flexible LR Baggs preamp, smartly-engineered bracing and a pluggable side sound-hole (which gives you the option to hear yourself better if not amplified). I like it a lot but, after a try-out, have found that it will not get use in my band (they are set on me using double or Baby bass for all songs). Plus I tend to play at home on my Fender Jazz, if not out rehearsing/practising with the band. I would like to sell for the same price I paid, ie, £550 (not interested in trades, sorry). Comes in solid hard case which took a small whack at one end on its way from dudi8 but remains in 8/10 condition and fully protective. Strung with Pyramid black nylon strings but also has the original bronze strings in the case. Handover in London preferred as I don't currently have a cardboard box and packing materials.

I was recently reading on a forum (maybe TalkBass) that the silk windings are actually of no relevance for the ability of a DB string to cling on to the winding pegs, they are principally for identification/looks. Thus the famous fragility of the silk windings on Spiros has no relevance to string life or integrity. Yet we all discount our used Spiros heavily as the silks are always in various states of frayed (same applied to the Danny Thompson Spiro-esque strings I have). The moral being, this looks like an exceptionally good price for a usable set of top quality strings (THE jazz standards) even if they don't (based on Rabbie's description) appear fresh out of the packet. To put in context, new they are £125 inc postage from Thomann [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/thomastik_spirocore_02.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...pirocore_02.htm[/url]

I used it for DB as it has a piezo-optimised input as well as a regular electric bass input. Its an excellent piece of kit indeed. Only sold as I have gone the lazy (combo) route (MarkBass Mini CMD121P)

I owned this before and its in mint nick
