Hector Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) My faithful bass bag of the last 5 years has been replaced by a sw***y new bag that is actually the right size for my bass. It's really beaten up - all the pocket zips need replacing but the main zip is fine. There's a scuff on one of the lower bouts that has caused a small hole right through. [u]Features:[/u] 4/4 Plain black with lots of handles Large back pocket Bow pocket Two smaller front pockets Can include a longer strap across the back if needed Inner zip protectors to avoid scuffing the instrument No idea of the manufacturer Padded. (I can put up some pictures if anyone is keen) It's a rough old careworn thing but does the job and might be of use if anyone knows a player who needs one but is strapped for cash. Possible to replace the zips and patch the hole, I'm sure. Thought I would check before throwing it out!

Hector Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 Hi all, this is still available - had someone who wanted it but they stopped replying to emails etc. [b]I also have, free to a good home, a K&M stool[/b] (see: http://www.thomann.de/gb/km_14052_stehhilfe.htm). I'm not a sitter anymore, and it's just taking up space in the house! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that's a big violin Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Hi Hector I could really do with a stool such as this--what is your timescale for getting rid of it? I am in Devon and have Oxford connections but not planning to come up imminently... If it suited, I could organize a courier pick up at your convenience Thanks and best wishes Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 No timescale really. I'm moving house week after next (staying in Oxford), but one stool more or less in amongst all the other junk won't make a difference Happy to do courier if you want to pay for one, but equally happy just to wait for the next time you're over eastwards.

that's a big violin Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Brilliant--mark me down for it then. Perhaps you could give me an phone number/email/address to organize pickup in due course --will definitely be up that way mid Sept to take daughter back to uni.

simon_says Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Hector - if you can come anywhere near Sonning Common in the next week or so and if Richard is coming anywhere near Salcombe in the two weeks after Sat 2nd Aug then I can carry it from Sonning Common to Salcombe on the Friday night.

that's a big violin Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Wow--that would be so helpful if at all possible--Salcombe is very close, I am just a few miles from Kingsbridge. I can come to get it at short notice, whatever fits in with you. Thanks, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon_says Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Richard - that sounds like it would work if Hector can get the stool close to Sonning Common in the next week. Hector - Maybe we could meet in South Oxfordshire somewhere if you can't get to Sonning Common Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 A very nice offer from simon_says! Unfortunately, I don't drive (bike to work every day, and yes I get the bus to gigs - must get a car before I die of exhaustion), so would find it tough to get to Sonning Common itself. I could perhaps meet you at Goring or even Reading? Depends which is closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon_says Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 hector - I will send you a PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 Sorry both - not going to have the time make it over to Reading before Friday evening, having a really busy week. Thanks anyway Simon! Richard, I'll hang onto the stool for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that's a big violin Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Fine, thanks so much for trying to sort that out, Simon and Hector. I'll come by when next in Oxford--definitely can do it early September. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon_says Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Sorry it didn't work out. It was worth exploring the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that's a big violin Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Hi Hector Hope you had a good summer. I'm going to be in Oxford on 27/28 September--could this be convenient for picking up the bass stool? Best wishes Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) 27th is tough as I'm in London, so preference for the 28th if possible? p.s.Has been a lovely summer thanks - just got back from a holiday!
