[quote name='bassintheface' timestamp='1452159917' post='2947020'] I can vouch for just how good a condition the DB112 cabs are in as Chris bought them from me. I owned them for over 2 years and they are in brilliant condition as they were flightcased whilst with me. Bump. [/quote] Thanks Jamie, they're pretty much as new aren't they, you took good care of the mate! In response to a couple of PMs I've added couple of pics above but will take better at the weekend I promise!

Bump for pics, more to follow at the weekend.

[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1452203967' post='2947685'] Holy carp she is utterly gorgeous! [/quote] It is isn't it - although not sure what carp have to do with anything Looks-wise I have to admit I much prefer it to it's darker sibling in the pic above, but the latter cost me a lot less and is probably not really as good a sales prospect in its current condition anyway. As a couple of folks have asked, here's a pic of the cabin, as yet unfinished. It looks pretty small but it's deceptive, at about 20"x14" there's plenty of room for a decent sized band to record in there. Wish it would stop raining for a few days so I can get the finish on!

Bump for pics of the Wal, pics of other two to follow tomorrow

[quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1452153707' post='2946958'] +1 to all of the above! Chris; Happy New Year by the way - hope all's well with you and your family? I love the look of the Yamaha so checked out the Eagles track you mentioned... Long time since I've heard it, but what a tune and a great bass intro. If your bass sounds like that, then that's something else! GLWTS Nik [/quote] Well Nik, I'm still travelling down your way quite a lot, and it did sound rather nice through the V4b.... Thanks very much for the comments mate, hope all's well with you. Following our last conversation I was thinking you might want a new blonde in your life to be honest

Ha ha, thanks guys, all PM's replied to. Just to clarify, I am able to post/courier all the above, and will have good pics later today Cheers Chris

I’ve recently completed what has been a long-standing ambition and had a rather large wooden studio built in a nice little sheltered spot at the end of the garden. Given this, my musical ambition for the coming years now all relate to getting the studio fully kitted out, to recording my own stuff and that of my friends, and to getting the kids into both playing and recording at an early age. It’s never going to be a professional studio but I’ll be able to do some pretty decent recording there, and whilst I won't be recording anything loud in the room, with a few well positioned acoustic devices, it’s sufficient to record acoustic instruments live. So, I’m going to let go of most of my live gear (e.g. the Aggie Rig), gear that is now redundant as the result of the studio gear and space I can now use (e.g., the PJB Briefcase and Big Head), a few instruments I won't use now I’m not gigging (e.g., the Breedlove, Yamaha and Clarkson), and a few things I need to sell to pay for the build (e.g., the Wal MK1). I’ve put a list and prices below and will add details and photos as the time develops 1950's 7/8 English blond double bass. Recently overhauled by Philippe Briand, which work included a new ebony board and a really very sympathetic stripping on the back of the neck. The work has vastly improved the feel and playability.

Next day or two? Let's hope the seller is more patient than some I've dealt with recently! (I'm sure he is😄) I can already see this bass refin'd in vintage white or blonde, but I think a wet and dry with 1200, 1500, and 2000 then a polish will have it gleaming! Will need an anodized pickguard though! [/quote] Thanks mate, I do like a project! Hope to get this slowly stripped and oiled over the next few months, if the grain won't take it then perhaps z very light blonde finish. I do like the necks on the 57s, and the gold plate on a natural body looks rather special

You should make arrangements by PM guys, you're talking about carrying a lot of cash in public

That's one of the few basses I've seen on here recently that I would jump at if I had the money, what an absolutely incredible instrument at an equally incredible price. The last all original 57 I saw was on sale for £15,000. Good luck Dan, I doubt you're happy to be selling it? Chris
