NBD - Vintage “Statesboro” ABG

[AndyTravis]

Going recording next month and there’s a track begging for upright.

 

I have a fretless I’ll be using live - but when I’ve been in this position before, needing an upright (without hiring/buying one) I’ve had good results close mic’ing an ABG with flats and a chunk of foam at the bridge.

 

I’m also a dab hand at defrets if needed.

 

 

This came up on marketplace just as the mother and father in law dropped off a card with cash in it…

 

I’ve heard good things about this range - and as they’re £200 new, a used one half a mile away for decent price was a no brainer.

 

Really decent little bass for £200 - I had some spare flats, and I have a roll of foam, so I set about making my “double bass”.

 

Will also come in handy for some radio slots we have booked in.

 

Happy Christmas to me 😂

Good luck with it, and it will be on the marketplace when?

Depends - if it gets used…it’ll be a while. 
 

If it doesn’t work out at the studio…prob end of January 😉

Well. After an epic eBay balls up following some vino plonko…probably soon
