Gedo bass ordered!

[stingrayPete1977]

I have done it (I still blame Alistair as it was his thread that started it)

Here is the link they sent me so as to raise a special item that could be ordered online, note the adjustable bridge and Spirocore strings, shipping was 95 euros, I am waiting to see what that has cost me all in with todays exchange rate

It's going to be a long week!

[alistair Sutcliffe]

Nice one Mr Stingray! I think mine took 3 or 4 working days to arrive so hopefully you'll have it soon

[Bilbo]

I just did another rehearsal with my Gedo and it sounded great. Enjoy.

Which model have got Bilbo and is it any good for moondance?

[zero9]

Welcome to the 'Gedo club'. I've been using mine (which I got on here in a trade) for about a year now and it's been great.

Enjoy

PS mine's a blonde 4/4 with laminated back n sides and solid top (ebony board)

[stingrayPete1977]

Cool!

It's a flatback so he could cellotape the tab to Moondance on the back of it

[Bilbo]

I posted an 11 minute solo double bass performance of Moondance on here once. It was s***!

Brillant stuff. Now to find the time for 6 hours of practice a day.

Practice, whats that then?

[FLoydElgar]

Only need 4 hours

[stingrayPete1977]

A month?

[fatgoogle]

Out of every 6!

[stingrayPete1977]

And only if the pub is shut?

[alexpea]

nice one Pete, are they going to set it up for you?

[stingrayPete1977]

Yes, I am having an adjustable bridge fitted and Spirocore weich strings the same as on my Stagg (cheaper than you buy them here for too), I am hoping that with the ebony board and carved top, adjustable bridge and proper strings it should be at least a decent beginner bass? and if not at least all the major things are there for someone to set it up better at a later date if it needs a board shoot and stuff

Looking at my account earlier it has not cleared yet but it is looking like £871 after the currency conversion.

£871 sounds like a great price starter bass... Congrats. Good luck.

[stingrayPete1977]

Thanks Floyd if it goes well I can always think about trading up at a later date , I have another pre EB to sell if I need to I am hoping that this could be good for a while and if looked after and setup well should be a nice bass for the next user, there are always people after a good starter bass, if this one was for sale on here now for about £600 I would of snapped it up

Had confirmation of shipping today so it could get here before the weekend!

[FLoydElgar]

Wonderful!
