Hi Dave - I have a single string broom/wine box bass with adjustable foot - a 3 string bass fully set up (probably needs a better pup) , a 2 stringer and a 3 stringer with a missing tuning head but a good pickup.  Plus half a dozen or so assorted boxes - some not cigar boxes and some antique ones and an ancient 6 string guitar for parts or project - it has a surprisingly good tone.  I am in Newton Abbot.  If all that appeals send me a private message and I'll give you the full address etc,  Cheers

H Backwater Bri, I'm visiting family in Exeter for a few days, & am really interested in picking up your stuff, could you please let me know where you are & when would be convenient over the w/e?
Thanks,
Dave
