dlloyd Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) [b]Edit: Sold (traded actually), subject the usual bits and pieces.[/b] I've decided to pass my double bass onto someone who might use it a little more than me. I bought it a couple of years ago from another forum member, Tallboy, and while it is a great sounding bass and very easy to play, I'm not currently doing anything that really warrants owning it. I'd rather free up the space it's taking up! It's a [b]Stentor Conservatoire[/b], which is a fairly decent, [b]fully carved [/b]bass with [b]ebony fingerboard[/b]. It is strung with Pirastro Jazzer strings and has been professionally setup for playing fingerstyle. [s]It has a [b]K&K Bassmax pickup[/b] fitted, which I confess I've never tried as I've only ever played it acoustically![/s] (Pickup has been sold seperately) It comes with a padded gig bag, which is a little tatty, but has no rips etc. There are photos of it in its original sale thread, here... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=13989&hl="]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=13989&hl=[/url] Once I find my camera, I can take more if anyone's interested in seeing the bass in a different room (it still looks the same as it did when I bought it). RRP price on these appears to be around £1,500, but you can pick them up for about £1,100. Strings and a setup could add an extra couple of hundred on top. [s]I think the K&K pickup is around £100.[/s] I'm asking for [s]£750, no offers[/s]. Price is now £700 as the pickup has been sold seperately. Trades and P/X might be entertained... a fretted four string electric would be nice as I haven't got one at the moment... Something like a Precision maybe. Collection would be ideal, and I'm based in Dundee, but I'm willing to deliver, for the cost of petrol, as far as Edinburgh, Glasgow or Aberdeen. I've sent a number of basses, guitars and amps by courier in the past, but I don't think I could entrust them with this one!

steviedee Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Hi remember when you got that bass it looked really nice, would you sell the bassmax separately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's Bob Gollihur's page on the Bass Max [url="http://www.gollihurmusic.com/product/1265-BASS_MAX.html"]http://www.gollihurmusic.com/product/1265-BASS_MAX.html[/url] Apparently it's just wedged in there and is designed to be easily removable. If it comes off easily enough, I'll be happy to oblige. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you packing in the upright are you just not getting to play it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a couple of folk projects on the go when I bought the bass, plus I was interested in having a go at getting some jazz gigs. The folk stuff has petered out (the guitarist I was working with moved to the highlands) and there's not really any decent jazz around here (plus I'm rubbish at it).

dlloyd Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 Price adjusted to reflect the fact the pickup has left the building and is on its way to Glasgow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
