Alas, it is sold.

Maple Shade, NJ that's right. it's a Gibson Epiphone very rare late 50's early 60's entry model plywood upright. made in Kallamazoo Mich. strung with Labella rope core 7710's with very low action for articulate, fast playing. definitely a jazzer's setup with the G and D string spacing a bit...

The bass has been sold to a happy new owner from Jersey!

Comes with a set of Gamuts.

bump

3/4 Upton Hybrid built in 2008, adjustable bridge, strung with Helicore Hybrids but I have Gamuts for it too. It has a French Brazilwood bow and quiver from Gollihur and a Hercules stand. It has some wear on the edges from the previous owner laying it on its side. Very good volume from this...

Do you still have this thing? I am in the tri-state area...

SOLD! To a local jazz guy.

SOLD! To a local guy. Took a hit on the price, though.

Yeah, that 2x10 weighs 60 lbs. I'm not shipping any of this stuff. Staying local...

Oh yeah, I'll split it up: amp $250 2x10 $200 4x10 $350

just a little bump...just one.

just a little bump...just one.

Good positive answers to this question. I have an old fiddle I've been praticing with off and on; I've gotten pretty good with a few minor scales in first position. I do pay close attention to pitch. Maybe that is one of the reasons I want to switch. I can play with more feeling and...

This is a good rig for any players looking for that hi-fi or modern tone. Real solid quality construction too.

Also has distortion and contouring.

100 watts continuous 200 watts maximum My cats use this as a scratching post from time to time; the carpet covering is a little rough in places. The amp itself is solid. Speaker is good. Nice GK tone in a portable practice amp. For now I'd like to find someone local; I'll meet halfway...

GP7SM 130 watt head 2x10 cab 8 ohm 4x10 cab 8 ohm I've never tried to ship anything this large and heavy; I just want to feel what's out there for now and try to find someone local. I'm willing to meet halfway up to 100 miles... I'm in Wilmington, DE. I don't now how much noise is...

SOLD!!!!! That was fast.

Hmmm... I really like jazz but there is something about that arco sound that give me goosebumps. That's why I was thinking of going with a Hybrid--within my budget and good tone for arco playing. I'm 6' 175lbs; I figured since most jazzers use 3/4, I should go with that size...

nobody?

Working out a transaction now...

Sorry, but they are, I need dough to get me a doghouse.

Now we're set.

Where would you place the double bass on the difficulty in learning/mastering scale as compared to other instruments? I realize that the word -mastering- turns it into a whole new ballgame, but I'm thinking about this as a new convert: one who played the electric bass for some years and wants...

I realize that fellas; I accidentially posted without the price before I was finished. I am in the process of adding photos.

I'm doing it. I'm switching to the double bass. I've wanted to do this for years, and the only way I can is by selling off the gear I have now. I just find it more natural to play in the upright position instead of horizontally, and I find the woody tone of the bull fiddle more appealing...

Exactly. Many people are saying that their basses rarely go out of tune, but how many cents out does it take for someone to say that they are out of tune? How accurate are the tuners being used in these cases? Or are they just tuning by ear the majority of the time? I understand that a...

Now I know there shouldn't be any concern over buzzes that are not getting amplified, but I've noticed a phenomenon with unamplified string noise and I am wondering if this is a common occurance. To provide a proper background to my situation: I have my action set at medium/medium low by most...

That's the way I figure it. That seems to be my situation, so I'm confident that there isn't anything wrong with this neck.

So I was reading The Bass Player Book, a collection of articles over the years from Bass Player magaizine, and the writer of this particular article, Tom Mulhern, describes a process for checking out the neck when shopping around for a bass. He says, "Check the neck for excessive flexibility...

Yeah, I know, it's just my nature. I kind of have an OCD thing going on. :hmm:

Can you retain the stock nobs on the warwicks with any of these other preamps and not have to drill or add switches? Does that have something to do with the 2 way and 3 way preamps that are options for these upgrades? I'm not too savvy on the electronics just yet... I have a Thumb BO 4 string...

Hey, if your upgrading all that other hardware, then you might as well go for the Barts. I miss the active pre amp and barts I had on my Tobias Growler. Now I have a Thumb bass with the active pre and MEC's, and I'm thinking of switching to active Barts. I say go for it. You'll have yourself...

I've heard of using business cards to shim the neck. Any other shimming methods? I'm assuming there are kits available for this? I suppose I could make my own out of thin gauge aluminum or something.

I switched back to four strings, partly because I wasn't happy with the floppy, muddy sounding B on my Gibson era Tobias Growler, and partly because I wanted to develop a 4 string playing mentality to make the transition to the Bull Fiddle.

Does anyone else obsess over setting up their bass to have the lowest action possible? Does anyone else constantly worry about changes in the weather affecting that optimal relief in the neck? My action is as low as the adjustable bridge, nut and saddles will allow. The frets have...
