Details

Just bought a new upright so my EUB has to go to make space.

I spent a year learning on this and it is a very comparable experience to playing a regular upright - the neck has all the right reference points etc. and the bar simulates the back of the bass so you can position properly - it also sounds great thru an amp!

This is serial number 20 and was made in 1994. It has been played so has some scratches and dings but nothing major. I reached out to the manufacturer who informed me the same bass would cost almost $4k to buy new!

Comes with a gig bag that slings over the shoulder and is not really any more cumbersome to carry than an electric bass.

Sure is! I am really in two minds about letting this go - as it is heck of a lot of bass for the money!

A couple of items to add while I remember:
1/ The dots on the fingerboard have been removed, and the dots on the side of the fingerboard are white out and can be chipped off with your fingernail if you don't want them (they helped me, so I kept them!)
2/ The inside of the gig bag feels a little 'sticky' - I suspect this is rosin related - I tried to clean it, but didn't get too far (but I didn't try that hard either!
3/ It currently has spirocores on it, but I will change these out for Obligatos before I send out (since I want to keep the spiros)
