Old Double bass loaned. Please close. £1 Bath

[oldslapper]

I don’t have room for 2 DB’s anymore with the number of guitars I seem to have acquired recently (they just appear, it’s weird).

Anyhoo I’ve got my very old beater bass that plays great, sounds lovely but looks like it’s been in the ring with Mike Tyson (although it still has its ears).

Over the years it’s had more structural and cosmetic work done than Ms Price, but it’s all part of it’s charm.

I’ve gigged it and recorded with it. It’s a big old thing. 
It has a very slim neck compared to my B&H.
Thought someone who’s fancied the idea of having a DB around to try but doesn’t want the outlay before they buy one, or someone who’s DB is in for repair and wants something to play.

So available for loan if you’re prepared to come and pick it up from Bath. You can try it and decide. No case/cover or pick up included btw. 
It’s not worth a lot of money, but it’s precious to me and holds a lot of memories. 
I might be up for a loan swap for a P bass, but not a requirement. 
Here’s the money shot.

Hope this is the right place to advertise.

Wow...  I'd love it, but I haven't got the space either at home or in the car.  You're a gentleman and a scholar, John.

If she doesn’t find a foster home, I may sand her down and give her a nice rockabilly paint job.
