Burns-bass

I have a couple of French bows for sale. The first is a brand new 3/4 size French Double Bass Bow. Brazilwood with traditional winding and half mounted frog. This is from Hidersine (https://www.bandm.co...brazilwood.html) and the RRP is £110. it's never been used (no rosin applied to the bow, it's sat sealed in its bubble wrap as I prefer a German bow). I'll take £85 delivered. The second is a French carbon fibre bow. Its been used with some marks on the carbon parts. I think this is an eBay purchase (no makers marks or name). I'm not sure where to price this, but let's start at £50 delivered. Will post pics when I get a chance. Please PM for more information

Interesting question. I bought this for a genuine vintage actual 74 / 75 US jazz bass, but I genuinely have to say I don’t know.

I have one of these, and I don't need it. It's in great condition. Add some vintage twang to your Telecaster thang' for just £15 delivered. Pics on request.

This is a phenomenal deal.

I have this 1975 *Reissue* Jazz Pickguard lying around. It's black-white-black and unlike a lot of the reissues has been drilled to fit a thumb rest and for the chrome covers. It's in as-new condition with the film still on the guard. Yours if you want it for £15.

Bump for a price drop to £2050. Might consider trades for a fancy bass, but need cash my way to pay for taps, a basin and my wife’s choice of tiles.

Thanks for the kind words. It’s a lovely bass. Happy to take offers.

Here is my 1974 / 75 Fender Jazz. It's right on the cusp of the transition, with 74' dated pickups and pots, and a 4 bolt neck plate. The bass was taken in a partial trade for my 63' Precision, but I'm moving it on because I need to pay for some work to the house, and I have too many guitars, uprights and basses (apparently). It plays amazingly well, and since owning it I've cleaned the fretboard up and given it a full set up. This really is a great, gigging 70s Jazz and isn't prohibitively heavy, nor too beat up. I've listed the good, and not so good bits below... I have a huge amount more pictures to should you want to see them. I don't want to ship this abroad, and am reticent to send it in the UK if I'm honest. I will only do so if the buyer pays for fully insured shipping (and someone tells me where I get this from!). Details:[list] [*]Finish, neck bridge, pickups (although recently rewound), pots, neck, tuners, scrathcplate, bridge and pickup covers and case. [*]Plays really well, very bright (rewound pickups) and has been set up well. [*]No dead spots in the neck. [*]Finish wear isn't too bad, it's 'honest' I guess, commensurate with use, but doesn't suggest this bass has been abused. [/list] Things to note:[list] [*]The pickups have been rewound, are strong and fantastically loud [*]There is a small section of the pick guard missing. (This originally really upset me, so I bought a reissue 75' pick guard, but never fitted it. In the end, you get used to it) [*]The bass has had a refret. The frets are the chunky vintage type, but there are marks on the binding. [*]There is one spring on the bridge that has been replaced [*]One of the bridge screws is slightly damaged (although it still functions) [/list] Price is now £2050 Trade wise, I don't want anything really, but am always interested in vintage fenders. Stuff I want at the moment is a Telecaster Bass and a 70s Precision. Otherwise, cash is preferred. Based in Bristol but can travel should you want to meet up.

These are stunning basses

Replied to your very generous offer.

To be fair, the chap does say no breaks to the body...

Hi all, I've been given a set of love Evah Pirazzi upright bass strings, but there's no G string. I'm not even going to smile at that because I'm the grown up and it's the truth. Does anyone have a spare, used G (doesn't need to match) ? Any help gratefully received and I'll either swap something from my parts/music book draw or stump up some cold hard cash. Alternatively, if anyone has an old set of Spirocores, that's what I use on my upright, so could buy them... Cheers!
