![]() Ah yes, 700 per channel, 1400 bridged.. I couldn't remember the specs for that puppy. I wanted one several years ago but couldn't afford to upgrade from my existing rig.

Do you guys know that I have a collection of *olde English Double Basses (c1775-c1830) and still have one of two English *Bultitude Bows (1962 and 1964 make) as well (*Former Hill shop maker). It's nice to know that I have a British following as well as me having an affinity for the English Violin making school of yesteryear. |

![]() Well, if you ever make it over there, they've got on display the giant 3 string double bass which was owned by Dragonetti and made by Gasparo da Salo. Allegedly it was used for performances of Handel's Water Music - its a complete monster. I can't begin to imagine what a performance on one of those must have been like.

![]() There have been Basses made in the UK 19th century by a Smith as there are a few listed that were violin makers BUT, as far as me goes, Nope!
I like my old Basses mainly as my personal preference. If I want a newer Bass, there are some great makers out there already doing it like Arnold Schnitzer and Jeff Bollbach which did make a beautiful Lion's head Bass which by chance, I now own. ![]() ![]() |

![]() This is my 99 Bsrb6 that I am refinishing. I bought it used and decided to give it a new look and sound . I upgraded the Burner pickups and Circuit to Smith flat top pickups and a new 18v Circuit. Here are some before and after pics. This definately is my fav and main bass now.

![]() LOL! As tempting as it would be to respond to that, I'll force myself to refrain...LOL! : ) I would like to see it if possible.
Had a girlfriend huh? Hmmm, hope it didn't end over a "backside" issue! LOL! |
