Raslee Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) Well, in my recent thread regarding feedback and newbies questions i ended up on the hunt for a magnetic pickup to tackle the feedback woes on my Gear for music DB. In my search I came across an add on Gumtree a week a go that i thought was to good to be true, a Schaller 411 mag pick up which i was after, a decent DB stand which i was also after, a soft case which i was sort of after...oh and it was only attached to Andreas Zeller Double bass..... all for £600 smackers! The bass had also been set up by a top professional North Devon Luther. So i contacted said seller, put deposit down, and collected today. Now the bass is 39" scale so just over 1/2 size but ideal for my little pinkies, it has D'addrio Helicores fitted....not sure if these are good or bad???The guy even chucked in a DB bass mute, bow and a book on scales/arpeggios etc - lovely chap. I've been trying to play it all afternoon but had kids and friends kids over..meh,.. so it never happened! So got it out about 2 hours ago and it's superb...just got to learn how to play now...tips appreciated Sooooo happy My 1/2 G4M DB will be up for sale very soon (good beginners bass!) [attachment=173427:IMG_5962.JPG] Lovely Schaller, sounds very impressive actually...still a bit of woody tone there. [attachment=173428:IMG_5959.JPG] Edited October 10, 2014 by Raslee Quote
