All joints are however sound and there are no structural issues.

It's a lovely solid neck enhanced hugely by the new ebony board.

  2. [quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1452341714' post='2949023'] Beautiful DB, Chris.. GLWTS! [/quote] Thanks Nik, it's a lovely old thing and, as ever, a shame to see it go, but I now have a lovely Chadwick that will work for both recording and the occasional acoustic gig. As I mentioned elsewhere, I'm still travelling down Sussex/Hampshire regularly to see my sister........ [quote name='jakenewmanbass' timestamp='1452386295' post='2949583'] Chris are you still in Canterbury? I ask because I'm on a tour that does a week in the Marlowe as of Tuesday Perhaps a pint may be possible? Jake [/quote] Hi Jake, I am indeed and am walking distance from the Marlowe mate, what show are you in, I'd love to pop down? Oh, and do you need a new bass
  3. [quote name='Hoppo75' timestamp='1452361735' post='2949297'] Is that 800 for the pair of DB's mate? [/quote] It is yes
  4. Wal and Yammie now sold folks, sorry. I will PM all interested parties ASAP (there were quite a few for both). Thanks Chris
  5. Re the Aggie, I'm pondering keeping one of the cabs and getting a smaller/lighter head, so might consider a PX for the DB750 with a smaller Aggie head e.g. Tone Hammer. Just a thought anyway
  6. [quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1452291503' post='2948693'] A new blonde would be very nice but I'm banned from buying any more basses. [/quote] Ah but I wasn't thinking about the Wal mate, I was thinking the DB
  7. [quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1452207896' post='2947757'] Would it fit a Stonehenge model [/quote] [quote name='BassTool' timestamp='1452283299' post='2948573'] 20'' x 14'' That'll be a small amp flight case then? Looks great, as does the Wal [/quote] Ah yes, the perils of posting from a phone! To clarify it's about 20 x 14 [u][b]FEET[/b][/u]
  8. [quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1452276470' post='2948474'] & they probably have the money to use whatever they fancy. But how much of that B-15 sound is gonna stay unprocessed? On a budget, you can get a decent set of monitors and a good Amp sim & have change left over from what a B-15 (or just about any decent amp/combo) would cost. [/quote] Totally agree, I was only pulling your chain I've no doubt that my B15 is in many respects an expensive placebo, but it's one I'm very happy to live with. I love the ritual of taking the cover off, unclipping the lid and flipping it open, plugging it in and checking everything's where it should be, watching the tubes light up and waiting for it to warm. To me it's the same as playing an old LP compared to hitting an icon on your iPhone screen; there's genuine pleasure to be found in the ritual, irrespective of what the objective truth might be. That subjective pleasure adds to the experience, and music, both playing and listening, is all about the experience
  9. [quote name='tedmanzie' timestamp='1452275797' post='2948465'] I've done two gigs in four years. I've got two P Basses, one with flats the other with rounds, because when that 3rd gig comes knocking I want to be ready for anything! [/quote] A man after my own heart
  10. I have more basses than i have gigs.
  11. [quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1452262768' post='2948213'] I'm seriously considering using VSTs on a macbook for playing live. There's pro gigging musicians that already do this (Pino uses an iPad). [/quote] Yep, but I bet they're using a B-15 or similar to record
  12. [quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1452207896' post='2947757'] Would it fit a Stonehenge model [/quote] Yes, and all controls are 0-11
  13. [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!
  14. Bump for pics, more to follow at the weekend.
  15. [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!

  17. [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
  18. 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
  19. [quote name='zawinul' timestamp='1452100191' post='2946422'] Dear night of the living bass heads I want to get a lovely amp SOLELY for recording and practising, not huge volume not required... having sadi that would a recording sound better through a huge 8 x 10 stack!!??? os is this overkill? Pure tone needed, so i'm thinking probably a [b]tube[/b] amp? If so which one? New [b]ampeg[/b] tube heads look nice but pricey... do I even need a tube amp? In past i've played through a [b]Roland Jazz Chorus[/b] and loved that sound!! Any recommendations would be great, and please don;t say 'record DI' I intend to do that as well but want a decent amp to listen to...and record with Combo or separate amp and cab, is there any difference in sound? Budget I near you ask, well not £0000's ... dunno up to £500-600, maybe a tad more.... I want niceness [/quote] Frankly, I tried for years to get glorious tone out of small boxes and, with the exception of the B-15, it doesn't happen, or at least, not the glorious tone I'm after. Even with a B-15 you have to roll the controls around to the right to get where you want to go, and whilst I'm happy to be corrected, that to my mind is the key problem; a major part of the 'lovely sound' thing relates to winding up a few tubes and moving a bit of air, and those two factors when combined tend to result in levels of volume that most of us can't practice with at home. Sure, there are sims, but for whatever reason - acoustic or psychoacoustic - they don't do the job to my ear. Jack's idea above is probably your best bet to be honest, good luck either way.
  20. [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1452101768' post='2946439'] Try a mid-70's WEM Dominator 25. I'm absolutely serious. With 15W of valve power you can achieve whatever degree of break-up you want/need at a sensible volume, and if you get a good one then the tone is just to die for. It's the poor man's Fliptop, and probably better value for money. [/quote] As the owner of a flip top I can vouch for the money side of things!
  21. 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.

  23. 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 PJB Briefcase [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/phil_jones_briefcase_combo.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...fcase_combo.htm[/url][u]. [/u] In my opinion the best of the small portable small gig combos. It's in very god condition albeit suffering from that odd little noise that around 50% of PJB gear makes when you switch it off. I've gigged this about 20 times and it really is an outstanding little amp. I tend to stick it under a chair for DB gigs and most folks just think their hearing the natural sound of the DB. It's a beautifully transparent little amp, and will work well with bass, double bass, acoustic guitar, mandolin and even electric fiddle. £300 [url="http://s80.photobucket.com/user/Beedster/media/2016-01/30CF1ACE-2A10-4E39-9AD4-D7DC54D23425_zpshcreegao.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s80.photobucket.com/user/Beedster/media/2016-01/6EBACCEB-9EB9-4243-81C5-C96501ADA1DE_zpssurdm6om.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s80.photobucket.com/user/Beedster/media/2016-01/B5C221C1-48F2-4800-8E76-99C1B68CAC8C_zpsb0otsjv1.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s80.photobucket.com/user/Beedster/media/2016-01/78C02DC3-D5F2-408E-8EB5-80CD59C64303_zpsjw0vmafn.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s80.photobucket.com/user/Beedster/media/2016-01/7920F2B7-AEE7-4127-9EF3-3716AE261DD8_zpsrjs76itz.jpg.html"][/url] Aguilar DB750 in rack case. Need I say more, the king of hybrid amps, tone to die for. I wanted this rig for longer than I can remember and it doesn't disappoint in any way, tone, power, aesthetics, shall I go on? One of the few rigs these days that, even at new prices (about twice what I'm asking here) still represents a real bargain. Looks big but is surprising small, sounds massive! £900 [url="http://s80.photobucket.com/user/Beedster/media/Mobile%20Uploads/B71E4A9B-D9F5-4AF5-A83F-921331D3104A_zpsciniccfa.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s80.photobucket.com/user/Beedster/media/Mobile%20Uploads/AE05FF2B-7804-49B7-B93B-BEC6860F630A_zpsi03hmqow.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s80.photobucket.com/user/Beedster/media/Mobile%20Uploads/6952B1F6-6A77-422C-9265-547BF7C81805_zpsut63aa09.jpg.html"][/url] Aguilar DB112 (x2) [url="http://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Aguilar-DB-Series-12-Speaker-Cabinet-8ohm-Classic-Black/12II?origin=product-ads&utm_campaign=*PLA+Shop+-+All+Products&utm_medium=vertical_search&network=google&adgroup=**All+Products&merchant_id=1279443&product_id=49914d1&product_country=GB&product_partition_id=62260072604&gclid=CjwKEAiAk7O0BRD9_Ka2w_PhwSkSJAAmKswxKUgfgWpC2RB3e7ZV0OlfKUQ4-QwLyL9bnHPWBBgL_hoCY53w_wcB"]http://www.gear4musi...BgL_hoCY53w_wcB[/url].
