Looks to be in great condition
.... and a lovely looking bass it is too

I'd be interested to see what others think it's worth.....

Payment sent Clarky

PM'd

I find it also varies, depending on the bass
Sometimes you can give a neck more relief on one bass,
and it seems to work well....

... on another bass however, a similar amount of relief
(difficult to judge whether it is exactly the same)
and it doesn't work so well, and you may end up with buzzing etc

I'm busy the last weekend of July - and I think the Saturday before that
Would really love to get to a local bass bash - so I hope I don't miss this one....

Would really like to go to a South Wales bass bash
Cardiff or Bridgend would probably be better for me personally,
I wouldn't mind if it was in Swansea - so long as no-one talks about football

... just be good to get one going
My equipment line-up has changed, drastically of late
and it's all because of browsing the for sale section on this forum! lol

Marc

Looks really good Beedster
Am looking forward to seeing this develop
and to hear your findings / experiences

Very kind offers from TPJ and owen too
What helpful, friendly basschatters

Marc

Nice idea, very neat work too
And of course, it's been made of left-overs...
Even better

Maybe you could sell these?

Hmm.... I'm now thinking how I could do something similar,
and make the height adjustable.....

PS. I'm a lefty too
But I play right-handed, for some odd reason
There are a few threads discussing this oddity somewhere,
and several, like me, who thought that was more unusual than it actually turns out to be.....

Hi philobedo,

Welcome to basschat
from another oldie, in bass terms
Well, in terms of years anyway

Enjoy the forum

Oh, and don't look in any other bit of the "for sale" section on here
.... just the EUB & DB's for sale!

.....Think I am going to have to nail my GAS down and be patient
[/quote]

Yes, that's the best attitude
It's harder than it sounds though....
Be warned lol

Good luck with your search
Put your savings in an account, and leave the card at home, somewhere safe, and out of sight

Hi, do you still have this pedal?
Does it come with power supply?

Cheers

PM'd re some questions.....

I think TheG has said it really
It all depends what you want to pay.....

Of course, the best thing to do, would be to try a few out
But that's not always easy
When I was on the lookout, there were absolutely none for sale anywhere near me (South Wales)

And looking on ebay, I contacted sellers, who mostly seemed to want me to pay for the bass in full
and meet in a carpark of a service station!

Keep your eyes open here, in the for sale section
(That's where I just bought my lovely new DB!!!)

Good luck
If you were anywhere near me, you could have tried my old bass.....
Marc

EDIT: I haven't looked back since starting on DB
Trouble is, if you've got an itch, and there are none around for sale.... it's misery - groan

Just bought a lovely David Gage double bass from Greg
He's a great guy, really helpful & communicative
and had good answers for my questions (some of which were probably daft)

A real pleasure to deal with and all-round nice guy
Deal with absolute confidence basschatters

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1400082087' post='2450577']
Yes. Whilst perfectly usable for electrics, they are primarily used for double basses
[/quote]

Thanks for that info Bilbo

Just bought a Squier Jazz neck from Chris
It was just as he'd described, and a smooth transaction, and really fast delivery

Great guy to deal with - really pleasant & helpful
Deal with confidence folks

Cheers again Chris

I'm done mate, too much hastle getting the band sorted and gigs booked. Going to concentrate on !my fitness and training.
[/quote]

That's a shame mate

I know how you feel re other band members
Someone has always peeed me off, no matter what band I've been in
and there's been a few - even in the last year

I used to play years ago - then gave up..... for over 20 years
what with marriage, moving, birth of my son, band splitting etc etc

Then a few years back I started again
And I've never looked back since....

I'd say that bass looks fab, and you'd struggle to get another like it
As you've said yourself, it's a great bass

Don't let other musicians / bands etc get you down
Keep your fab bass, pick it up from time to time - keep your hand in
and who knows? In a few years you might find a better bunch of musicians...

I really really wish I'd never given up, all those years back
I'd be so much better now - and think how much my 1972 USA Fender P, with maple neck would be worth now
More than the measly £175 I got for it, I know

Hang in there mate - and pick your bass up again, after a bit of a rest from it

Marc

Hi, I was just wondering why this is in the DB section?
please forgive my ignorance, as I know nothing about these amps
... are they considered particularly good amps for DB?

Cheers

A second hand Stagg would get you a very affordable EUB that will not lose you any money if you subsequently decide to move it on. If you've never played any sort of DB before it will give you a rough idea & cure some immediate GAS. Personally I'm very happy with mine and currently have no desire to upgrade. It's compact and very giggable as a bit of a novelty.

Shame you couldn't make it to the Midlands Bass Bash ... from the chap that took the EUB!

My sentiments exactly

I'm interested in this bass.....

Hi PInball,

I read this thread with interest
For years I didn't particularly care for Stingrays

Lately though, I played one and started to see what the fuss was all about
I traded one in for a Warwick I owned - which I wasn't getting on quite so well with....

I loved the Warwick sound, but found all the controls overly fussy,
and struggled to get my sound consistently good
Perhaps this was due to other band members adjusting their sounds,
and me trying to compensate, to get something that sat better in the mix

Re the neck. I always preferred slimmer, narrower necks
but have leaned more to a neck wider at the heel lately
That's personal preference again, but it's also dictated by what you are playing...
I'm doing more finger-style now, and re-experimenting with slap, and I'm playing less pick
Of course, the size of your fingers will also contribute to playing style here.....

I have to say that the playability of my new MM is great,
the neck is absolutely fabulous
and I'm happy I can get a sound that sits right in the mix,
without having to fiddle too much with lots of controls

I'm so glad I got my MM
but I'm amazed at how your own tastes and preferences can change

I'd say you're right in not rushing into anything
but as others have said, try a couple out
I'm so glad I got to try one properly
and even more pleased I actually got one

Good luck with trying some out
and let us know what you decide

Marc
