Happy Jack Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 (edited) I bought this bass from OldHorseMurphy two months ago: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=134812"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=134812[/url] I've added a Fishman BP100 pickup, which cost me £50 from eBay and sounds fine through an appropriate pre-amp. I've spent my time starting the process of learning to play DB, and I actually gigged it for the first time on Saturday (Greenford Carnival) to the huge enjoyment and satisfaction of, well, me anyway. My plan was to spend the next two months hopefully improving on DB before I play the Brentford Festival on 4th September, and then Clarky goes and puts his Zeller up for sale. Premature Upright-auction is a terrible thing. My DB is an ideal starter instrument, fully functional and perfectly capable of gigging. It is NOT mint - there are a number of scrapes to the varnish and one repaired nasty knock, see the previous For Sale topics for details - but you're unlikely to find a better DB at this price. It comes in a canvas carry-bag, basically a completely unpadded gig-bag made of the same material as army kit-bags. It will keep off dust and light showers, and protect against little knocks as you carry the bass through a doorway, but that's about it.

Happy Jack Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) I can separate the DB and the pickup BUT only if the DB sells first ... So that's DB @ £230, Pickup @ £50, or buy both for £250. Edited July 7, 2011 by Happy Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
