[quote name='Willl' post='1215028' date='Apr 29 2011, 03:42 PM']Is this bass being used structurally... In photo 5 it appears it's doubling (see what I did there) as an acro jack?[/quote] Basically, when this goes to Deaver, my porch collapses!

How'd you get on with this Clarky? I've just recorded with it and the engineer loved it. He was resistant at first, preferring 2 mics, but he ended up mixing both. John

Yes, sorry guys. Posted in too many threads, will update accordingly. john

I will soon be down to just one double bass and no EUBs. What I have left is not spectacular, but it's a 40 year old ply that sounds great to my neanderthal ears and it is transported in it's original cover. I would like to give it a bit more protection, so had thought about getting one of the gear4music foam cases that come up now and again Ebay, but they are very rarely over this way (South West). Also, I don't seem to be able to locate a supplier of hard cases that aren't £600 flightcases. So the question is, has anyone got a case they'd be happy to sell me, or do you have advice on what else I should consider. I notice that many retailers sell gig bags that seem a lot of money, but do they offer protection? As this should probably be in the wanted section, I will post there too. Thanks for any help, or comments, you can offer. John

[quote name='Clarky' post='1210243' date='Apr 24 2011, 06:57 PM']In the TB thread, people talk about affixing the TM piezo into the D/G wing rather than, as I would have assumed, the E/A wing ... is this your experience John/sloebluesine and oldslapper/John?[/quote] Yup. Before I read the thread I tried it on E/A side and it was too boomy, even with eq adjustments. So put it on D/G wing and it was nice and even, and loads of volume. John

[quote name='slobluesine' post='1209852' date='Apr 24 2011, 10:13 AM']sold to Clarky [/quote] Be interested in hearing what you think of the TM Clarky. It's the only piezo/bridge pup that has stopped me using the schaller, and I love my schallers. I've kept the schaller on my main bass, but it just doesn't get used now. John

[quote name='deaver' post='1209840' date='Apr 24 2011, 09:54 AM']I have clearance from the necessary authorities so we are good to go. PM me when you're back and we'll take it from there[/quote] On hold for Indiana Deaver.

[quote name='Chimike' post='1209164' date='Apr 23 2011, 01:48 PM']Hi John, Yep, Still here, just being used as my office backup with my V-type practice amp ![/quote] Ok thanks for letting m know. Someone else is letting me know if their's is available sometime over the weekend, so will know if I'm still in the market after then. John

[quote name='Clarky' post='1208598' date='Apr 22 2011, 07:53 PM'] If you've played double bass as long as I HAVE then you [s]are probably sh*t[/s] should listen to what I SAY which is ... err Buy my bridge and tuners. I am CHILLED OK?[/quote] ......................

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='1209043' date='Apr 23 2011, 11:29 AM']That's lovely, if I was anywhere near Dorset I would be PM-ing you now.[/quote] Yeah, cheers TNIT For a mass produced entry level instrument, which has had a good set up, nice soft strings, nice Mag pup, and structurally reinforced, it's pretty good value. And it looks cool, which as ANYBODY WHO PLAYS KNOWS is what [u]actually[/u] matters.

[quote name='deaver' post='1209054' date='Apr 23 2011, 11:42 AM']Do you fancy a trip to Salisbury in a couple of weeks time John? I'll dust of that CV, though the fifteen years in archaeology makes for tepid reading.[/quote] John, I'd be delighted to. No photos' needed, but that CV might be handy, as I'm finding it difficult to get off to sleep at the moment... With your background I think you'll "dig" this bass....?? Shall I say that this life-changing, fine instrument is on hold? If so, I'll PM you when we're back around for a meet. John

If this doesn't go through, baggsie next on list plz? John

Is this still available? John

[size=4]If you want a bass that will change your life, then this is[/size]n't [size=4]it[/size] 5 year [size=4]old bass[/size], [size=4]thick neck,[/size] Low piz action, fitted with Innovation Honeys, Schaller pickup and adjustable bridge. In good condition, but does have a small chip on it's [s]shoulder[/s] lower right side. Suitable for playing popular and unpopular music. This bass literally came apart at the seams where the neck joins the back and sides when knocked over at a gig. However, there was no "structural splintering" damage done to the laminate woods. A local chap I took it to put it down to the crap glue that Mr Giordano was using that particular day he was in China making double basses. So he reglued the seams with proper horse-mash and screwed the sides and back to the neck. It is now more stable than the poor dead horses bedroom. Carlo Giordano 3/4 double bass. Except it's probably not his, and I suspect he didn't make it either. Manufacturers details. [url="http://www.maccorp.co.jp/e/carlo/bass.html#sb100"]http://www.maccorp.co.jp/e/carlo/bass.html#sb100[/url] My one has white binding though, which (as anyone would know) adds thousands to the value. Comes with a cheap bag and a bow. Selling because I want to. Would suit someone who plays, or doesn't play, the recorder. Obnoxious comments welcome. £350 picked up from North Dorset. Please note it won't be available for collection for a couple of weeks. This will give me time to "vet" any prospective buyers. CV's by PM please, with photos.

Last ditch bump.

No probs Eddy, I'll keep you posted too. John
