Old Fakir Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4]Hi Everybody. [/size][/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4]I've got a 'previously enjoyed' Big Kydd 5 string (B - G) that I'd like to sell. I've had it for about 5 years, so it comes with a few minor dings etc. Those are free. You all know what they look like and sound like - one got sold on here earlier this year. Brand new you can get them from the USA for about $1800 plus import taxes. Let's say roughly £1,300. How about £700 for mine?[/size][/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4]This is a really great sounding instrument. Couple of good features: about the same scale as your BG (35") so easy to switch between the two. It sounds great - more like a DB than a "BG on a stick". It has an arched fingerboard, so can be bowed. Easy to get strings for - and lots of varieties available. It comes with a stand like a camera tripod - you don't have to hold it up all the time, it doesn't try to spin out of your hands like a DB or some other EUBs; and it can't fall over in the interval!. If you want to move into DB from BG, this is a cracking little instrument to use as a half-way house, or perhaps for your permanent sound. It folds up into a rifle-case; it's light; it doesn't take up much room in the car. Couple of pics added.

slap_it_hard Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Hiya, i may be interested in the 5 string double bass, so could you please PM me some details about it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Fakir Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 The DB sold straight away. Blow me! The EUB is still on the market - I'll happily accept a sensible offer - I put £700 up as the price I'd like to get for it, but I'm willing to consider a bit less than that.
