Came across this surfing through eBay for some Elricks. This is a GAS worthy 7-stringer.

The reason I'm throwing this up here is it's an Arched Bodied one. It's a 33-incher too. Looks killer.

Saw that a few days ago- crazy for an Elrick. I've never seen another one with a curved body, and the neck laminates are something I haven't seen since his much older basses. Very cool.

very cool that 7, but i've just ordered the hybrid 5

Very nice! Bass Central just sold a singlecut 6 that looks very similar to it.

I want a single cut E-volution six, something crazy.

Mr. Majestic · #**867** 03-02-2010, 08:16 AM

I have a few requests for club numbers, whenever I get a chance I'll sort them out.

He also said he hammered down a couple frets since they weren't in there all the way. He told me that the grooves in the zero fret were put there, not from wear. He didn't understand why they were there other than to keep the strings spaced evenly but that's what the nut is for. He also said that the zero fret was of the same material as the other frets and was the same size, which he would probably change when he re-fretted it.

As I mentioned, I think the grooves in the zero fret were indeed put there, with the objective of managing the relief at the first fret (which would probably have been too high w/o them based on the little rise at the end of the FB). Perhaps one of the other multitude of previous owners can shed some light on this. I'll be excited to hear the end result of the new rout... awesome looking top and *super* light, hope it indeed has found it's home. The Valenti absolutely *rocked* at rehearsal last night, and has immediately made the cut for this weekend's gig.

Man ... that's stunning!

The GAS I'm feeling is not helping me cope with the fact that I'm really a 4-5 string guy.

Oh the humanity!

Sounds killer, but put Aero's in it!

I'm looking to pick up a set of Chromes ... do Elricks take "Super Long Scale" strings OR can regular "Long Scale" strings work?

Thanks ahead of time.

**Bryan R. Tyler** · #**872** 03-08-2010, 03:24 PM

Long scales work fine (at least on the standard Elrick headstock- don't know about the NJS headstock). I used them when I tested several sets of strings on two Elricks for the Strings forum. The standard headstock is a relatively short reach from the bridge, even with the normal 35" scale. A Fender headstock is a fair bit longer.

... Hello ... anyone home?

Rang the doorbell twice with no answer ... so I just let myself in.

Nothing around but some giant dust bunnies, and the sound of crickets.

nalapit13 · #**874** 03-21-2010, 04:17 PM

my fretless is due within a week or so....

nalapit13 · #**875** 03-26-2010, 07:23 PM

found this at guitar center today. what is the fretboard made of? came with the hardshell i have been lusting after and the aguilar obp-3.

what do you guys think?

nalapit13 · #**876** 03-26-2010, 07:25 PM

forgot to mention its an 03 hybrid.

nalapit13 · #**877** 03-26-2010, 07:31 PM

im waiting bryan......................

**Bryan R. Tyler** · #**878** 03-26-2010, 07:33 PM

It's hard to tell from the pics, but the coloring (on the pink side) looks like bubinga. I had an Elrick with a similar wood/sapwood combo that was wenge, but the dark side looks too light to be wenge. I'm not a big flamed maple fan, but it looks like a pretty one.

nalapit13 · #**879** 03-26-2010, 07:35 PM

could be bubinga. the wood doesnt look like wenge at all

nalapit13 · #**880** 03-26-2010, 07:38 PM

traded my warwick dolphin in for it. i think they robbed me by giveing me 1300 for the dolphin. but an even trade for the elrick was worth it to me!!
