artisan Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 So I am quitting my current band & also quitting playing double bass too. I guess I've got bored with the whole Rockabilly Country thing so have moved on to something completely different. My new band,which is a Black Sabbath tribute band,has no place for a DB & I am really enjoying playing much more challenging bass lines on BG. Currently I only have cheapo bass guitars & need to raise cash for something nice,so keep your eyes on the for sale section for a very nice Duke Bass appearing soon.

Marc S Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Sorry to hear that artisan Maybe just take a bit of a break from DB playing? You never know, you might regret giving up & selling a nice Duke DB I couldn't play my DB for ages - and I really missed it! I'm glad I play both, even though the band I played DB in folded a while back... I'm now in another band, playing DB and loving it more than ever. Remember, there are many styles, and ways to play a DB Good luck with your decision anyhow, and glad to hear you've settled in a new band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artisan Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 Thanks Marc,I really appreciate that. I think I'll have to sell it as I'm currently playing a cheap yamaha bass,which is fine,but I used to have some nice bass guitars & the only way I can raise the cash for another is to move the DB on.

Mr Bassman Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I've played this bass It looks good and sounds great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPJ Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) Too bad you have to part with the DB. I think you'll miss it But it's always something you can return to. Our originals band, The Now Nows, play a mixture of rock, punk, country and funk all acoustic....guitar, DB and cajon. And while we've covered a few hard rock songs, Sabbath would be challenging Best of luck on the new direction.

artisan Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 Thanks guys 😀 I've got a couple of people from a Facebook selling group who are very interested in my bass so I'll give it until Sunday & if they don't buy it I'll put a for sale thread up on here.

razze06 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 You don't have to give up DB to play black sabbath: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OC1TkAV7iNk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oudsVWj9TjY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 There's no rule to say you cant buy another if you do feel the urge remember, I have thought about slimming down my elec bass collection in a kind of reverse of your situation where I can see me looking for more upright stuff in future and less electric band stuff. Good luck whatever you decide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trueno Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Onwards and upwards I'd say. Sell the DB, buy yourself a great electric bass and get stuck in to something new and challenging. You can always buy another DB (as mentioned above). Post some pics if the bass you buy, and best of luck with the change in direction.

artisan Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 Thanks for the kind words guys I appreciate it. I did my first gig with the new band (black sabbath tribute band) on Thursday night & it was amazing,can't wait for the next one. It's reignited my love of playing music which is a very good thing indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassman Rich Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) Hey Artisan, I might be able to help there. I live in Harrogate, have had a bit of GAS for a DB for ages, and have a 2003 USA Precision in virtually mint nick that I would be willing to trade for your DB. Is that of any interest? PM me or drop me an email on [email protected] . If they can put up with a learner, I might even be able to fill in your old band position on electric bass whilst I learn how to wrestle the DB into action, but I think that would be just too much of an amazing coincidence to expect it all to work out. All the best whatever, Rich Edited March 3, 2017 by Bassman Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
