    Where are you? I’m looking for a soft case to live inside a flight case, so looks like this might do the job nicely!

    Don’t suppose you’ve still got this?
  4. calduggan
    Hi, have you got any more photos and dimensions please?

    If you want to play double bass, I’d recommend getting a double bass, not an EUB. Mike Morgan in Llantrisant or Martin Jones in Caerphilly could set up a bass for you (Mike’s done good work on my basses over the years), I’d echo what others have said that it’s worth earmarking a couple of hundred quid for a set-up, as it can make a fairly ordinary bass sound and feel a lot better!

    Is this still for sale?
  7. calduggan
    Have these gone?

    Archer ‘Professional’ 3/4. Bought recently as a spare bass but the opportunity came up to buy an amazing bow so something had to give unfortunately! Very good condition, a few small marks and one scuff on the front which has been filled in by the previous owner. Includes a GEWA lightweight soft case which has never left my flat and still has the tags on! These are now retailing for upwards of £1600, so grab yourself a bargain! From the Gear4Music website: Features/Specifications Double Bass Body: Hand carved, Atelier built Top: Hand carved select Canadian spruce Back: Flamed select two-piece Canadian maple with matching ribs and scroll Finish: Hand applied oil in orange-brown with slight antiquing Bridge: Adjustable, Maple, 3 piece construction Neck: Maple Fingerboard: Ebony Tuning Plate: Brass engraved with nickel winders Spike: Adjustable Based in Cambridge but regularly travel to London, so a meet-up could be arranged within reason!

    I don’t really see the point in starting on EUB, especially as you’ve mentioned you’re into jazz and folk (the latter especially relies on the sound of an acoustic bass). I guess they’re a bit physically easier, but the older gumtree bass you’ve linked to looks a great bet. As someone else mentioned, it’ll probably well set-up and ready to go. If double bass is the instrument you want to play then I’d suggest getting one rather than something that’s not quite the same.

    Apparently a well-fitted sound post ‘should’ stay in place. But maybe getting wiggled around on a plane it might collapse, so I’ll have to get proficient at re-setting it which isn’t a bad skill for a bassist to have!

    The circle on the neck heel is a cap with a magnet which sticks to the bolt which goes through into the neck block. There’s a tiny divet cut out so you can get the cap off, the magnet also helps so you can stick it to something while you’re doing the whole process so you don’t lose it! I’m away a bit over the next few days but will take some slightly better photos!

    Just in case anyone was following this… I got the excellent Charles Collis to do the work - he’s done a brilliant job. Super easy to use and really secure. He also made me a new extension and set the bass up and it’s sounding great. Can’t recommend him highly enough!

    Any idea what this is and approximate value? (Assuming the cracks on the front are solidly repaired and stable etc)

    I’m looking at having a removable neck mechanism fitted to my double bass for travel reasons, just wondering if anyone has had this done in the UK and how it went!

    A complete low-c extension set of Innovation braided orchestral strings. The G and D were on my bass for a few hours, and the C/E and A have only been out of the packets to take the photo. Cost me just under £150 for the set. Lovely strings, just wrong for me. Happy to post internationally, or in the UK at cost.

    Price drop to £4250
