You could have gotten more in a personal sale for the Dophin, but $1300 is a great price for a Hybrid, so it ended up even either way I dug the OBP-3 in my old Elrick 5- how does it sound in that bass? Very booty-filled, I presume?

[nalapit13]

i had the dolphin on here for a bit and ebay twice with some interest but nothing worth writing home about. i could have gotten more for it but i didnt want to lose out on the elrick..

it sounds pretty sweet, very clean and crisp.

i cant wait for my fretless to come in now.

That fretboard looks like purpleheart with sap and heart wood.

I was thinking the exact same thing.


Hey Nala ...
Sweet score + you're getting a fretless any day now ... it's raining Elricks your way. Plus I see that you finally got the Hard Case you've been looking for ... bonus!

IMO ... good call on the Elrick/Warwick trade. You might be a smidge upside down ... BUT it looks to be well worth the pounce ... who knows how long the Dolphin would take to off-load anyway, then you gotta add in any PayPal fees, and all that stuff that comes with the deals.


Congrats!

[nalapit13]

[cobbster]

Do I just take #32?

[Mr. Majestic]

I have two more in front of you. I'm on my iPhone way out in the backwoods of Arkansas, and the signal is just crazy weak. I think your number should be 33, I always take the last one, so mine is always the next in line.

What's the update ... waiting to see this beauty!



... currently digging on this one in the classifieds
http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showth...t=#post8999349

Shortly I'll be turning my Cort/Elrick RB5 in to a RB5F; to help my GAS, so that I can save up the scratch for an actual Elrick fretless 5'ver.
... a thought ... has anyone turned a fretted Elrick into a fretless? ... IF so, what did you do about the "Zero-Fret" ? ... also, is this something Rob would do, or is he all about new builds more-so than customizing "pre-owned" ones?

[nalapit13]

i just spoke with glenn from bassspecialties today and i should have it in about 2-4 weeks. rob is a little backed up from namm and music messe(not sure how to spell it.)

so less than a month!!

if the one in the classifieds was unlined i would buy it.

If it were a 5'ver ... I'd already be playing it.


Cool about the Elrick ... what are the specs on the upcoming fretless?

[nalapit13]

its a bolt on. pink ivory unlined board. p/j bartolini setup. ash body no top. 35" scale. its gonna be yummy!!!!

[ubado]

After reading Bass Player mag's issue about Fender Jazz bass' anniversary (and the latest Spring slew of Alleva Coppolo J's hitting the classifieds) ... I'm now totally GAS-N for a NJS5. (found a home with Elrick, and want to try and keep it that way)

... does anyone have both a NJS5 and a Classic/Evo 5'ver that they can compare the overall feel of the necks (a bit of an A/B, if you will). Experience with both would work too. (I have no ability to compare them myself, as no one carries them around me, and can't really make a long road trip to just do a A/B ... just because GAS has struck )


Thanks!

Alright, here's my baby after the fret job. I'll get better pics when I get a chance but this is all I have for now:

Who did the fret job?

Phil Maneri down at the Fifth Ave. fret Shop. He sanded down a hump in the fretboard, repaired an area under the nut where the fretboard was separating from the neck, and stuck new frets in there. It feels like a brand new bass. I can get the action quite a bit lower now that he's done all the work on it. I talked to him about sticking another pickup in it but he was very much against the idea, saying that the bass sounded sweet as it is and that whoever built it really thought about the exact placement of that pickup and stuck it in THE perfect spot. So now I'm having second thoughts about it. It does sound great as-is, especially playing rock. Very aggressive and growly.
