it’s a full price but that’s London, I guess.

I think the risk is very low here and you can always reduce it further by providing clear attribution. In the end, if it's a non-commercial endeavour, it's unlikely anyone will seek to take legal action. If they do, you'll receive a notice to take it down. As the original author, I guess it depends on the contract you signed at the time. My friend who is a photographer licenses images for specific usage but retains the copyright of them. You may find you retain the copyright of your work and have no issues reproducing it. So publishing the words on your blog might be fine, but an image of the text in a magazine may pose a problem. We're currently involved in a legal "conversation" with a client about content ownership. My view is once they've paid the invoice they own it all (and assume the risk for publishing it). They want us to "own" the risk in perpetuity, which I said we could do but they would need to pay a substantial fee on an ongoing basis. Over to the legal eagles it goes...

Brilliant! I'll watch this later when I get home from my gig. If you want some more double bass culture, this story by Checkov always stays with me. Recently re-read it. Incredible writer. https://shortstoryproject.com/stories/romance-with-a-double-bass/

I made the same mistake!

The fretboard is a nice forum.

Thanks for this. Looks like it will be the Mark Bass.

Apperciate the insight here. I need a small practice amp for home and basic band stuff. Would you recommend the PJB or Markbass? Price wise they're the same ballpark and I'd be buying new. (Any small difference in price doesn't really bother me as I've got 12 gigs this December so that'll more than pay for it).

Very good.

Stanley Clarke pre amp is wonderful bit of kit. Perfect for DB and also if you need to switch between upright and electric as well as sending a signal to front of house. Used mine for 60 or more gigs this year and it’s been flawless. Notch filter is very responsive to the environment. Probably overkill if you play at home or in the same place or a small and acoustically stable environment, but when I have to adapt to a different room most times it’s great. (But not cheap!)

Sadly, I traded it to get a pre CBS jazz about 10 years ago

They’re lush. My old one is used as the picture on Andy Baxter’s website.

Looks like the screw holes have been plugged and re-drilled

Very nicely put...

No router hump on the body like my late 60s jazz from what I can see.

There are all manner of ways you can create something like this. Unless it’s parted out and meticulously documented who knows what it is?

Been sold apparently. Looks like a refin to me, but what do I know.

I’ve emailed them. Let’s see what they say.

Curse you VAT!

And hopefully not his legendary temper!

No idea. I think he's just mad. The problem is that it artificially inflates vintage values, making previously affordable instruments crazy prices. One guitar dealer I spoke to said he never bothers to mention previous artist ownership in listings as it's not really much of a factor unless it's a defining instrument (Gary Moore's Les Paul, etc.). These people probably played and owned thousands of guitars.
