Bought this double bass early last year here on basschat and have had quite a bit of work done to it to bring it into great playing condition by Jan at Chapel Allerton Stringed Instruments in Leeds. March 2011 following work was done : shoot and finish fingerboard, shape and respace top nut, remove/refit and ease tuning machines,fit new soundpost,fit new Sure-Lock tailwire,fit new Aubert Deluxe adjustable bridge, reposition endpin, setup with Spiro weich strings, revive varnish, total invoice £350 I then played it for a bit to make sure i was happy before having more work done and in April 2011 the following work was done: fit Full Circle pickup, glue loose seam, cosmetic work to fill and colour edges and ebonise fingerboard (putting blackstuff on fingerboard to you and me) plus one of them ball end things on end of endpin. total invoice £145 Invoice for Full circle pickup £185 Also in April bought Westbury Plus padded Double Bass case (22mm padding) invoice £124 Altogether with original purchase price of doublebass of £400 plus price of Spiros comes to about £1300 also in sale is doublebass stand and Ed Friedland doublebass jazz upright bass dvd Selling for £1100 cash, its in great condition, sounds and looks like a proper doublebass , its laminate back and sides and solid wood top, only blemish is the fingerboard finish( not the fingerboard !) has started to wear in couple of places with quite a bit of use which is easily touched up if you want it to look blemish free .

Just 2 put everyone in the picture as i have had quite a few messages, this is a 3/4 size, i very much doubt you will find a used one this cheap, £150 will buy you a good set of strings, this one plays real easy for a double bass so if your lookin to learn at this price you should be runnin to get it like what i did, i drove all the way to ipswich! i am in pontefract , west yorkshire and just come with cash only, you can phone me on 01977 780818 or mobile 07760444339

Thanks for that mate, if it hadnt been for you selling it to me at a great price i may have never got started, so would be great if someone else who wants to give it a try can do so on the cheap, cheers, Jez

will get some pics together and anyone wants them will send by email on request, this is standard 3/4 what is most played size, unless you are really big you dont want the bigger full size, cheers, Jez

As i now have another Double bass my old one is for sale, it looks the same as the ones gear4music sell with the solid top, mine is really easy to play as the bloke i bought it from (a basschater) had fitted a new bridge and the action is low (g-4mm, d-5mm, a-6mm, e-8mm), have been using it on gigs and it has got the usual wear on the edges to the varnish, it did get knocked once in the car and there is a crack on one of the upper bouts about 3 inch long, i worked some pva glue into it and its never been a problem and is solid, i got it from a basschatter for £150 so will pass it on to someone for the same price, if no interest will be going on ebay, cheers, Jez
