silverfoxnik Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 (edited) [b]SORTED THANKS[/b] Hi Folks First time I've ever ventured into this Forum, so please be gentle with me! A friend of mine who's an electric bass player asked me if I knew anywhere he could hire or borrow a double-bass for one gig in September. I said that I had no idea but that i'd ask on Basschat to see what the score is.. To be honest, quite how he's going to play it, even if he can find one, is another story entirely....but in the meantime, if anyone here has any info/advice I can pass on to him I'd be very grateful! Many thanks Nik Edited August 19, 2010 by silverfoxnik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 No idea where to do it in England, but just to say it's possible. I recently got back from some gigs in the south of france, where the guys employing me had hired a bass for the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solofunkyjazz Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Thwaites in Watford do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxnik Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 Thanks guys! Any other suggestions near to the south coast at all..? I should have said in my OP that this person lives in Brighton.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPJ Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Wont he have a tough time of it if he doesn't regularly play DB? An EUB might be easier for him unless the gig is totally acoustic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
