  1. I've had a few lovely basses offered and I'm close to making a decision. Last call for anything else that's out there?
  2. [quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1330687336' post='1561510'] You can have mine for that. [/quote] Appreciate it Wayne, you'll take a cheque?
  3. Clarky is, as has been said several hundred times above (and a few of those by me), a 100% top guy to deal with. He even managed to impress my extraordinary hard to impress that-London-type friends when he collected the bass in question. Look forward to next time mate C
  4. I'll eat my own underpants if that sells for less than £350
  5. I'm hoping to buy a high quality DB in the very near future, which means once again I'll have the joys of trying to house two of them! There seem to be a few guys on here with more than one DB and I was wondering what the general consensus was on the degree to which speaking length and neck type (Eb versus D stops) should be close or identical across instruments. Specifically, as I'm hoping to play my old one a 'rougher' gigs (which of course we don't really get in Canterbury), whilst using the newbie for recording and better gigs, i want to be able to switch between the two fairly easily. The bass I'm looking at has the same neck stop (Eb) but has almost two inches longer speaking length than my current instrument. I went to a few TB threads to investigate, but whilst they started well, they seemed to descend into arguments about whether members were using the search engine appropriately, so I didn't dare post there and am hoping for more luck here
  6. [quote name='owen' timestamp='1330902994' post='1564726'] 4U no longer available as I am having it. Back off everyone else. [/quote] What he said
  7. And now available again as I have a few too many preamps and a few too few pounds
  8. Need to raise some cash bump. Hit me with offers, the cab's over £600 new these days, so you can't go wrong
  9. [quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1330887552' post='1564416'] Thanks Chris. I just popped round to Jack's and got my old one back. Now which end do you hold? [/quote] Do they have ends?
  10. Could have sent you a freebie had I seen this about an hour ago mate
  11. There's something rather elegant about holding the Yorkshire Bass in Canterbury
  12. Possible that the original wires were replaced (they tend to get shorter and shorter as they go from bass to bass), but i'd want to see pics of the underside to see for myself.
  13. [quote name='sarah thomas' timestamp='1330680089' post='1561328'] And one woman with her double bass. [/quote] No, I think she's be quite glad to have another lady to talk to
  14. Thanks Keith, I've PM'd you about this and another Cheers Chris
  15. I'm looking for a quality used instrument. I don't need a bow or case and have enough sets of strings to keep me going for several years (I say this as having searched around for a while it seems that these three components can add a few hundred to the price of a bass in this price range). The characteristic I'm probably most interested in is projection/volume, and that I least care about is cosmetic condition! Chris
  16. [quote name='jay-syncro' timestamp='1330634279' post='1560878'] You can have mine for 2k, Chris. I'll even deliver it. [/quote] Cheeky! I did really like that DB Jay, and in all seriousness would take it back if you wanted to let it go? Beer sometime soon?
  17. B-10 sold, now looking to spend up to £2000 on a decent double bass.
  18. I'd love to see Mrs Beedster's face when 47 blokes and their doubles basses turn up for tea
  19. Thinking about this, I could easily set something up in Canterbury, in Medway, or possibly in Surrey (M25-land/M3-corridor) but any further afield I'd require help.
  20. In all seriousness i could easily set something up in Canterbury, in Medway, or possibly in Surrey (M25-land) but any further afield I'd require help. I'll post this in the other thread or it could get messy
  21. [quote name='bassace' timestamp='1330623230' post='1560645'] I couldn't get to the bash because I'm with the band transport and won't be up there until just before gig time. There was a bash at Northampton some time ago in a convenient hotel with a large car park. Bit more central. Any interest in that? At least it's closer to Canterbury. [/quote] I think anywhere between Milton Keynes and Northampton is a reasonable north/south compromise. Whilst it might look a bit to the south on a map of the UK, it mustn't be forgotten that to get there many of us poor southerners have to negotiate the M25
