waynepunkdude Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 While I was at Beedster's house earlier I tried his DB and it gave me the bug. I was looking on eBay and found[url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Rockabilly-Double-Bass-/160467430904?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Sting_Instruments#ht_500wt_1154"] this[/url] , would it be any good?

Wonder what make it is? Maybe you should ask the guy where he got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I have a cheapy upright & to contradict what I am sure would be the sensible advice on this forum, I reckon it'd suit getting you started. Mine was about £500 & it sounds great but the finish is terrible so the slightest knock will show - & does! I'd go for it, you can always sell it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisnameistaken Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 That crack on the neck joint looks a bit suspect. Apart from that I reckon cheap basses are much of a muchness - they're never going to blow you away tone-wise but if you don't like it you'll probably sell it again for £300 easily enough. Also unless you are only interested in slapping you'll be looking at a new set of strings, so factor the price of those in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynepunkdude Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 I have gone with a bid rather than BIN and see what happens. Cheers for the help guys, fingers crossed I could get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clauster Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I hope you get it. Can't wait to hear it mic'd up through your rig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
