Here's your chance to learn fretless bass whilst simultaneously marveling at Steve Bailey in his 90s lycra shorts wearing heyday! Both book and DVD are in good condition (please see photos) £8.50 including postage to mainland UK. Here's the product description from the back cover of the book: "Consummate musician and bassist Steve Bailey presents one of the most comprehensive fretless bass technique methods available. Having performed and recorded with everyone from Dizzy Gillespie to Kitaro, Willie Nelson to Jethro Tull, Steve is a true master of the fretless bass. This book and DVD will help you successfully make the transition from fretted to fretless bass. The exercises within have both studio and live-playing applications and cover such topics as intonation, sliding, string blending, and fretless effects. Develop your ear and left-hand technique using the methodically written examples, which cover intervals as well as triads, then put it all to use in the songs and etudes provided. This book and DVD will help any bassist develop the necessary technique to master this difficult, but beautifully melodic, instrument."

Additional pictures and item details added. This bass is probably not great for metal...Sorry about that.

Hi all, I bought this bass new last month as a replacement for my Double Bass which I had to sell due to wrist problems, however I have subsequently realised fretless bass isn't really for me. This is an awesome instrument with an ebony fingerboard and a maple neck, the body consists of an Ash top with a light and resonant Basswood body. The Aguilar 2 band EQ and Aguilar pickup also sound fantastic. Full details of the bass specs can be found here: https://www.ibanez.com/usa/products/detail/gwb20th_1p_01.html The bass is strung with a nice new set of D'Addario Half Rounds which won't chew up the fingerboard and includes the Ibanez gig bag (pictured) that it came with. The bass is not in perfect unused condition as there are some light markings left by the strings on the fingerboard; as you can see from the pictures these are very slight and the normal string wear marks found on a fretless. There is also some slight finish loss on the neck edge of the ebony - again just slight wear. Other than the aforementioned, the bass is immaculate. I'm looking for a cash sale so no trade offers thanks. I would strongly prefer collection from the Preston Park area of Brighton, so it can be tried out and I don't have to chance sending this by courier in a lightly padded gig bag. However, I would be willing to do a meet up within a reasonable distance from Brighton. Here's my feedback thread: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/306417-feedback-for-edlib-3/ Thanks.

Great book which is part manual of different jazz bass styles and part history of some of the greatest jazz Double Bass players and their technique. Includes a CD with all the examples played that appear as notation in the book. Both book and CD are in great condition. Price includes P & P to mainland UK.

Ed Friedland Jazz Upright Bass DVD including booklet with all the exercises in the DVD transcribed. All in very good condition, £7.50 including P & P in mainland UK only. This DVD is not that suitable for total beginners, better for those progressing towards an early intermediate stage. Ed is a legend though.

Weighs in at around 9kg according to my not totally reliable bathroom scales. Great for metal too..

Relisting this as I put the wrong price on first time round, and didn't realise you couldn't edit it once it's posted. 😖

Up for sale is my Bridge Cetus, a stunning instrument that I bought new from Promenade Music in 2018. It has never been gigged or even left my flat, subsequently it is in pretty much new condition. I am selling this with regret as a result of wrist issues that due to an pre-existing condition, are making it very difficult for me to progress on the instrument. Here are the specs taken from the Bridge Violins website: Body: hollow moulded bodyshell, from carbon fibre and kevlar composites Headstock and neck: The neck and headstock are carved from a single maple block. The headstock design is a modified copy of the 1710 Stradivari Viola da Gamba head. The neck is hand coloured and finished with oils, for a fast, smooth, traditional finish. Fingerboard: Ebony fingerboard Machine Heads: brass Tyrolean style engraved brass plate machine heads Nut: Ebony nut. Bridge: The Bridge pick up system is encapsulated within the bridge, designed by Bridge. Tailpiece: ebony tailpiece. Endpin: Basses use an ebony plug, notched steel rod with brass screw and ferrule, and removable rubber protector. ELECTRONICS Bridge Pick-Up System: The pickup system is designed by Bridge and unique to these instruments. It uses a piezo crystal configuration giving an accurate acoustic sound with an even tone. The pickup uses all mechanical movements of the instrument to generate its acoustic sound. Bridge Active Circuitry: has a sophisticated active circuitry dedicated to the frequency range of the instrument, uses a 9V battery giving approx 3000 hours playing time. This bass has a surprisingly natural and woody tone for an instrument with a carbon fibre body, it's the best sounding EUB around in my opinion. You'll notice that the back plate that houses the 9V battery cavity is lined with Blu Tack; this is not to mask a defect, it was done because the back panel is made of light material and vibrated slightly when I played certain notes on the instrument unplugged. This slight buzz was not audible when it was played amplified. Not looking for trades, just a sale please. As you can see, the soft case the bass came with offers little in the way of protection so it's collection only from the Preston Park area of Brighton. The bass comes with the aforementioned soft case, a horsehair German Double Bass bow and some rosin. These basses don't come up for sale very often - this one is in practically new condition, they go for £3,250 new. Come and try it out yourself. Message me with any questions or for additional pictures. Here's my feedback: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/306417-feedback-for-edlib-3/
