Jezyorkshire Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) As i now have another Double bass my old one is for sale, it looks the same as the ones gear4music sell with the solid top, mine is really easy to play as the bloke i bought it from (a basschater) had fitted a new bridge and the action is low (g-4mm, d-5mm, a-6mm, e-8mm), have been using it on gigs and it has got the usual wear on the edges to the varnish, it did get knocked once in the car and there is a crack on one of the upper bouts about 3 inch long, i worked some pva glue into it and its never been a problem and is solid, i got it from a basschatter for £150 so will pass it on to someone for the same price, if no interest will be going on ebay, cheers, Jez Edited March 27, 2011 by Jezyorkshire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gareth1982 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Any pics of it? And, excuse my DB ignorance, but is it a full size insrument? I'm an electric bass player but I've ALWAYS fancied a go at double bass. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezyorkshire Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 will get some pics together and anyone wants them will send by email on request, this is standard 3/4 what is most played size, unless you are really big you dont want the bigger full size, cheers, Jez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethFlatlands Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I might be interested, depends on the other thread about the NS Wav. I live above my landlady who has 4 kids and a 7pm bedtime so the silent practice of an EUB would be preferred to an acoustic DB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 My old girl, on which I practiced making bridges - took 2 goes to get that one right! Here's an old pic to help you along Jez.

Jezyorkshire Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 Thanks for that mate, if it hadnt been for you selling it to me at a great price i may have never got started, so would be great if someone else who wants to give it a try can do so on the cheap, cheers, Jez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezyorkshire Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 Just 2 put everyone in the picture as i have had quite a few messages, this is a 3/4 size, i very much doubt you will find a used one this cheap, £150 will buy you a good set of strings, this one plays real easy for a double bass so if your lookin to learn at this price you should be runnin to get it like what i did, i drove all the way to ipswich! i am in pontefract , west yorkshire and just come with cash only, you can phone me on 01977 780818 or mobile 07760444339 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Horse Murphy Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) Sadly due to an unforeseen purchase of 2 new basses and my wife finding out, I'm going to be moving this DB on It's a great bass for the money and a perfect starter Double Bass. It's just been fitted with a decent pair of D'Addario strings and will come with a copy of a very good instructional DVD: [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00024OR4Y/ref=oss_product"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00024O...ref=oss_product[/url] Bescause of the new strings and DVD I'm looking for £230 and many apologies to Jez in reviving his original thread! I'll get round to creating my own soon Edited May 6, 2011 by Old Horse Murphy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisnameistaken Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 What did you have to take it to Surrey for? If it was still in Yorkshire I would've had it. Bloody southerners... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
