Yes it's 3/4 size bass, it's a large chair in the picture.

Great vintage bass with a new Ebony fingerboard and restoration work recently done by Bill Merchant in NYC. Neck joint reset and updated to play better than the original factory dovetail joint. No cracks in neck heel, never broken so full Kay tone. Plays and sounds excellent. Strung with...

Havn't used this much lately and need to pay some bills. Lemur sells these new for $645, $500 for mine. Please give me a call if you're interested, my internet access is limited. Brian 203 218 6496

Well in an effort to make my life easier I ordered an EUB. BSX was the only one I felt comfortable with and had one made to match or come close to the dimensions of my bass neck. The bass came, wrong color, most of the things I asked for were not respected and I was told if I was not happy I...

Dave you are big dork! But i just checked out the basses again today, the poplar sounds great, there's a really good looking maple one, and Barrie showed me a Botti model with all sorts of pretty figuring in the wood. So come up and visit and we'll play them all!

HAH!

I drove thru PA on friday and got to visit Dino at BSX to try some basses. I played the 5 string Allegro that was being shipped out and it was great. 1st EUB that I enjoyed playing, ever! The low string is very beefy and doesn't have any tension or volume problems like 5 string uprights...

"Nobody likes Jazz!"- my jazz bass professor These 3 words have been my practice Mantra for 6 years.

Well here's my 5 string experience so far. I bought a new Kolstein 5 string Fendt in January. I've read a lot of the posts concerning all the problems a 5 string could have. A lot of them held true, for the first month. But the neck and fingerboard felt so solid that I didn't worry about...

I've had no problems with my case after getting an extension. I would recomend turning the finger "thingees" facing down if they stick out over the pegbox when you put it in the case. What are those called?

Strings are new, so I eyeballed the bridge. It's warped in the area of the most out string. Thanks Ray.

I recently purchased a 5 string bass with a low B. I'm used to tuning with a tuner and then double checking with harmonics. On my 4 string everthing would line up but on this instrument they do not. Im going to be taking the bass for a check up and want to be able to describe the...

I've been using the B-Band statement system. I've had few problems and many compliments from engineers. I wonder if anyone has come up with a way to deal with hollow stages at high volumes? Subs tend to shake and vibrate stages and send it right up through the endpin. Kaboom!

Thanks for all the help guys. Im also thinking about taking some time to work with a jazz pianist/composer. Anyone know of an inspirational mentor type? Im thinking NYC might be the best place for that.
