Ha ha, you're not the first to say that Dunc!

He is and he does. The Pith helmet adds another dimension also 🤔

Sold 👍

Indeed it was, was he wearing that 1800’s pith helmet when you saw him too! All joking aside he gets great tone and volume out of it 👍

Sale pending 👍

To say that this is a lot of amp of the cash is a ludicrous understatement, this is the sort of amp that totally dominates a stage and allows an audience feel the music as opposed to simply hearing the music. The first time I plugged mine in and hit an open A string it was, no joke, a defining moment "Ah, that's bass....". Yep, it's heavy, expensive to re-tube (although not often) and doesn't do quiet, but bloody hell they're minor issues compared to what you do get 👍

I get you 👍

You only have to check my avatar to know how highly I rate this instrument; if this bass was a ring it would be the one ring to rule them all

Two band preamp on the USA SUBs is lovely BTW 👍

Now that is special, really special 👍

Bought from Amazon when I thought I was moving house and wanted to rack my studio gear to move it, pretty much unused so turned out to be an expensive waste of time at £159 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0002GUB1A/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Can post for £20 or so 👍

Photos of the actual bow

If I reflect with honesty, I have to admit that trying to be a competent violin player and a competent double bass player at the same time was probably a non-starter, but I gave it my best shot 🤔 I can't tell you much with any detail about the fiddle, I bought from a dealer in 2019 as a 'likely German Early 20th Century' which seems to be a pretty common level of detail when it comes to fiddles of over a certain age (much the same with DB's also it seems). Reason I picked this instrument is that it was quite bright sounding which i liked, I was playing a Yamaha electric fiddle at the time which I found far to middy and mellow. I also lov the beautifully flamed blonde wood. I bought the Codabow about a year later and boom, what a difference a bow makes to a fiddle - suddenly I could pay stuff that I simply couldn't play with the old bow. But every time I decide to pick it up it takes me longer to get back to competence and takes away from DB time. Both my daughters showed some interest in fiddle that has also waned so this is for sale. £500 gets you the fiddle, hard case, both bow (Joule retails around £600), a shoulder rest and mute. it's a decent price for a decent kit.
