Sorted 😎 Double bass/EUB favour 🙏

[oldslapper]

We have a very small house and double basses take up room that we really don’t have. Anyhoo, I gave my acoustic upright to a school so my mates grandson could have lessons/join orchestra/play and the EUB I also had I sold to pay for studio time for my new band. No sweat as I stopped gigging Upright a while back.
However, I’d forgotten about a gig I’d committed to ages ago for the end of February, and the artist was expecting the visual of double bass and it does suit the Tom Waits style.

So before I tell him it’s my fretless precision or nothing, I thought I’d see if there’s anyone who’d be willing to lend me a DB or EUB for the evening. Gig is in Yeovil, I’m in Bath.

Happy to pay you. A beater that is playable is fine, preferably with a pickup. 
I’ve lent DBs to fellow BC’ers here, hoping someone can return the favour 🙏

Thanks if anyone is able to help out. 
Cheers

Slappy.

No chance of borrowing back your DB from the school for a night/weekend?

It’s in Wolverhampton. But that did cross my mind.

You  might want to re-post this in the Double Bass and EUB forum, might get some more relevant views there.

Thank you to all who contacted me with offers of DBs, what a wonderful community this is. 
I’m taking up young @BreadBin offer. Me and Brendon have a long history of handing each other instruments 😂

 

Cheers all!

This is an undeniable fact. Long may it continue!
