ELRICK crotch myrtle 5

blowinblue · #1 12-22-2009, 12:02 PM

Elrick e-volution 5-string. Built in 2005. Rare crotch myrtle top with matching headstock. Swamp ash body. One-piece maple neck with birds-eye maple fingerboard and graphite reinforcing rods. Bartolini XJ-coil pickups (made to Elrick specs). Bartolini NTMB preamp with 3-position midrange selector (250Hz/500Hz/800Hz) and active/passive bypass selector. Hipshot bridge and tuners. Dunlop Straploks. Weighs 7.2 lbs. Bass is in like new, near mint condition. Comes with Elrick hard-shell case in like new condition. Awesome sound, playability, and balance (IMHO). Visit Rob Elrick’s website at (www.elrick.com). First three pics courtesy of Bass Emporium where I purchased this instrument new. Why am I selling this? My focus has been turning away from gigging and gear.

As you can tell from the 4th pic this bass actually got used in real life.

Not interested in any trades...please don't ask. $2075 shipped FedEx Ground fully insured. Will ship to lower 48 states only. No PayPal.

You would have to put this up now. My children may suffer a lean Christmas because of this. Taking presents back now to see how much I can get for them.

Gorgeous Bass but I must say that whomever named that wood Crotch Myrtle should be smacked upside the head.

I would grab it...couldn't pay for it...but would definitely grab it.

Bump.

Edit: Consider this little edit an anti-bump. I've been woodshedding around the house with this bass the last couple of days and realized something. I have absolutely lost my mind! What else would explain the fact that this bass is for sale here in the TB classifieds?
