Bump - had quite a few interesting offers but nothing quite right yet. to narrow it down a bit, i'm not looking for another headless and i'm only really interested in 4 string basses (anymore than that and i get confused and think i'm playing guitar)

i haven't played this since i bought my double bass so time to move it on me thinks. i 'upgraded' the tuners (schaller) and strings (kevlar core weedwackers) and also comes with case & stand plus original tuners & strings its in good condition, a few marks here and there, only thing of note really though is the paint chip pictured below: i didn't really get on with the stock strings so i bought some green weedwackers from america: but struggled to get them to stay put on the standard stagg tuners so i upgraded to schaller... however the posts on the schallers were longer so i added bits of black plastic to the sides of the headstock, looks a little untidy close up but does the job: also whilst messing with the stings i managed to cut one a little short so i tied a bit of guitar string to it for the 1st couple of winds. must've worked cuz its stayed put for a couple of years with no issues: so there ya have it. i'd like £250 for it or i'm always open to trade offers/part exchange. only things i can think of right now though are: Boshcma 4u Rack case Tech 21 XXL bass or guitar version Schatten RB1 pickup so any of that added to the deal can help bring the price down. PM me with any trade offers/questions or if you need any pictures of anything specific

thanks for the offer punkypuncher, just checked it out, not really my kinda thing i'm afraid! cheers though

i've almost listed this a couple of times but bottled it and i'm still not sure i wanna do this but its not getting used as much as it should so here goes! trade offers only at the moment as i wanna see what else is around... apologies for the tentative nature of the thread, the thing is i really like this bass, the graphite neck is a joy to play and the 18v electronics sound incredible but... its just not me! i can't see me ever using it live and it seems stupid to have it sat in its case. also sorry for the vagueness of trade details but there's not really anything i'm currently after (apart from a semi-acoustic guitar) so i'm open to ideas really. comes in a hardcase, which looks like this: condition wise its good but not great, its been played alot and has a few bits of damage here and there, although its more worn than battered, the body's pretty spotless but the gold on the bridge and saddles has worn through in places, see pics: the neck has a bit of buckle rash (!) on the back and a couple of chips on the end of the... er... stump?! (what's the end of a headless bass neck called?) anyway more pics to stop the rambling: so... whatcha got?

BUMP 1 set gone, 2 sets left!

i have 3 new packs of elites 'unplugged' phosphor bronze strings for acoustic bass which are all 40-100 gauge. anyone fancy trading for 45-105 gauge similar quality acoustic bass strings or even for standard elites player series (nickel) 45-105's?

updated bump a few have gone and i have aquired others so both lists updated

updated bump - i've added prices as well as i've had lots of messages about these but mostly people wanting to buy not trade

BUMP!

this is sorted now, just got the todd phillips one on ebay and with the ed friedland one on its way from kevin_lindsay i think that enough to be getting on with thanks for all the offers and input

[quote name='kevin_lindsay' post='1142056' date='Feb 26 2011, 07:42 AM']That's the Ed Friedland DVD posted off to you mate Kevin[/quote] legend! thanks mate, i will absorb all i can and then get it back to you! cheers matt

[quote name='kevin_lindsay' post='1141515' date='Feb 25 2011, 05:33 PM']Hi mate, I've gotAn Ed Friedland 'Jazz Upright Bass' DVD that shows the basics and some cool tips. If you want, I can post it to you for you to watch. Keep it for a month to get the ideas down, and then just post it back to me when you're done with it. Only costs you a return stamp when you send it back. Drop me your address if you want me to send it to you? Kevin[/quote] awesome! damn decent of you kevin, PM sent. thanks!

[quote name='Beedster' post='1140952' date='Feb 25 2011, 10:56 AM']I have both and am happy to let them go. They are very good for beginners and for the occasional reminder even for experienced players. How's £30 posted for the two? Chris[/quote] PM'd! cheers chris, matt

i've just bought a double bass but now i need to learn to play it properly before i damage myself! kinda hard cuz i can't keep my hands off it but i'm thinking some beginner dvd's are the way to go so i get off to a good start and get the absolute basics right i've seen the 'Essential Techniques For Acoustic Bass' todd phillips dvd's recommended so if anyone is ready to move them on i'm interested or let me know what else you've got/would recommend.

BUMP! just to say i'm open to offers of potential trades/part exchanges on this... i'm currently looking for an acoustic guitar and an acoustic bass and there's always tons of other bits and pieces i'm after check my signature for an epic list of things i'm currently seeking
