Extras total (approx): £350+ not counting sound post installed and Fingerboard Polished Size: 3/4 Top: Solid spruce - not plywood Arched laminated maple back Round fingerboard: Ebony (Diospyros ebenum) Scale length: approx. 105 cm Tyrolean machine heads Height adjustable endpin Matte lacquer Plays and sounds as should for a medium price bass Reason for sale? Since I found Rosenberg`s Trio on YouTube, I realized that music can be raw, organic, and great at the same time, and I want to be part of it... I really have no time for two different instruments. I will only trade for a decent gipsy guitar around the same value. Must not be made in China!

Hi, Ive got some updates on the subject... Recently Rod Patterson - our local (hero) Double Bass player paid me a visit and suggested to thin/shave off the bridge to reduce its weight and eliminate BULKY look... I managed to reduce its weight by 10g from 107g to 97g And now the "dead" G string in first position is back to life! Cheerio!

Got Toneriders jazz pickups from Geoff . Nice and easy transaction and great communication from A-Z Cheers!

My studio 2x3m plus C1000S about 40cm away from sound hole.

Another great input. Must say that the "boys" @thomann fitted the bridge VERY well and fits the body nice and cosy. And the bridge is where should be as shown on that cartoon! Cheers! Tomas

It is not so obvious when I play in a living room... little obvious when play in my "studio" 2x3m...
-
Thanks for the input! Here is a (sloppy) Bb blues where I use quite a lot G, G#, A and more... I have to say now that its not bad (sound - not the player) and I like it and will live with it!
-
Thanks! Great input!!!!👍 I agree. I was just looking for some.. confirmation that Im mentally rather stable... So nothing to worry especially I did not spend £2000-3000. I could be angry spending that kind of money... Anyway... mystery solved!

Yes, that was first thing to fix after receiving bass. The post was around 20mm off to the bass side. Now its in "neutral" spot. The issue was there and still is there. Before I changed the strings and after I did it... I do understand its all about wood properties and CHEAP craftsmanship but... I wonder why there is no single article on the web about the dead notes? Or maybe I demand too much from a cheapo DB? Its strange a bit as things are ok after hitting B, C and so on on that G string and all the rest are singing quite good as for cheapo DB...

Hi, I have spent quite a lot of time for research and found nothing which is really strange... Most people talk about Wolf Note/s on a Cello or DB which is opposite what I have on my DB. G#, A, A# on G string first position the sound has no overtones and fades away quickly same way as on lets say Jazz Bass G string 5-7 Fret (C, C#,D) - well known problem. What is going on and why I could not find anything regarding this "issue"? Here it is sound sample starting with open G (444Hz) G#, A, A# on a D string is .. well, not bad. Put brand new Spirocores Light and The problem still exist. Well only first position G#-A# Its a hybrid Hora (Romanian double bass from Thomann) Thanks for any input/s Tomas
