Thanks for clearing that up. I thought I read somewhere that they did but that must have been my weeks of research starting to mush together.

If you want a good deal on an Engel, I recommmend Jerry Fretwell, (www.fretwellbass.com) because a good setup, better bridge, and choice of Innovation strings are included in his price. He won't send you a turd sounding bass, either. Good guy.

I agree. I got an ES9 from Jerry Saturday and man it sounds great and was a heck of a deal. I konw he had another used one there. A little more exspensive than the one I got, but it was in better cosmetic condition too. He also had a brand new ES9. And I picked the strings I wanted and he set it to my prefered action and reset the soundpost before I walked out the door.

Great Guy.

I was just gonna pick a new ES-9 up from gollihurmusic.com the new price seems pretty fair, I know I'd still need to get it set up but I have a luthier about a block away from my business which is where I have to get it shipped anyway.
