thisnameistaken Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Haha. I just had a bloke do a 13h4 round trip to buy one of these from me, I bet he'll be delighted to see this listed two days later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philparker Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Just what I was thinking after following the previous thread! Like the proverbial London bus, however, if you miss one-you might have to wait a long time until the next one comes along! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassplayer76 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Now reduced to £450. Despite being plywood this bass sounds really good and is a great transitional instrument for anyone wanting to take up upright bass. It is in excellent condition, and when you want to upgrade you'll get your money back by selling it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRev Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 £450 is a bargain for one of these basses people (Thwaites of Watford have a couple of these on their website listed at £1,500). Buy this for £450, take it to your favourite luthier to have it set up exactly how you want it - even if you go mad, you'll still end up spending less than £800 for a very playable and great sounding ply bass. They're very solidly built and will take some real punishment, perfect for rockabilly or any band where things get a bit raucous. It'll also work well for jazz - I used to have mine strung with Velvet Blues and my regular luthier was impressed at how much sustain it had.

Jus Lukin Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Hmmm, couldn't see the Thwaites ones. Anyway, I'm working on this one, just need to confirm when I'm up to London next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRev Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 They're listed as 'East German ply bass'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisnameistaken Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I'm surprised this is still here. I listed one of these the week before this one turned up and had half a dozen interested parties, it sold almost immediately for a bit more than this. I sold mine because the gig I was using it for had stopped happening. A week after selling it they called me again… :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurksalot Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 If this was was round the corner from me I would probably be taking a punt . Even if I didn't get on with it it can't lose much at that price , and it wpuld even look lovely just on display if i made some room for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassplayer76 Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 Still for sale until someone confirms they want to buy it. All I've heard is coming round to have a look, so it's not sold yet until there is a firm commitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
