Wow! Very nice inlay. That must have set you back a bit. ;) --Dave E.

I own a Larrivee CB-09-4. The "C" stands for the Florentine cutaway body. It came with a Fishman underbridge pup and pre-amp. It's very nice to play. Sounds sweet unplugged, though I haven't heard it through an amp yet. It was built back in the early 90's. There's an attached pic to my...

Jeff, I know. The over all shape is pretty nifty. You don't see that kind of styling most places. What does your Larrivee look like? Did you post in the acoustic bass guitar thread? I did that the same day I posted my picture here. --Dave E.

Hey Jeff, The attachment below is the best I can do to post a pic of my Larrivee. I seriously have to scope out the PhotoBucket thing. Anyway, it's a CB-09-4. It might have been Larrivee's first shot at making an acoustic-electric bass. Either way, it's a hella sweet thing to play...

Newbie here. This is my Larrivee CB-09-4. It dates back to around 1993. The Larrivee came with a Fishman pickup and inboard pre-amp. I haven't been able to play it much over the years, due to a lot of time obligations (return to college, work, etc...); however, I decided to justify my...

I just bought an SWR amp that Spalding played on. Too bad I never heard of Esperanza until I bought the Natural Blonde on eBay. Time for some homework... The NB was sold by a concert hall agent who had to buy it (none to be found to rent) as part of Spalding's performance contract rider...

Okay guys... I couldn't help myself. I saw a Natural Blonde on eBay and scored her for $720 w/shipping. Talk about getting a hard-on :hyper: and blowing wad :eek: over a Natural Blonde. :D I had to do it. The price was right, and the unit (supposedly) was purchased in lieu of a rental as...

Playing style... Hmm... That probably is something I need to think about. I'm pretty much self-taught in this respects (EEEK!), but I'd have to say that my style comes from a desire to stay in the pocket rhythm-wise but to also stay with and build up the emotional content of the song. In...

I'll see about posting a pic, as soon as I figure out how this website allows it. Yeah, the NB might be overkill. At the same time, I wonder if it might be a preferred pairing, given the type of pups my bass doesn't have. It's pretty much clear that they are not the kind you find on your...

Hey All, A newbie here. I own a 90's Larrivee acoustic-electric bass guitar. It came with an active Fishman pup system. This is a very enjoyable bass guitar to play unplugged: It sounds great and plays well. My main problem is that it gets overwhelmed when jamming with other acoustic...

Wow! I've been searching high and low through the Internet for someone with experience with the Natural Blonde. I even registered with this site, the moment I saw evidence of the topic. Anyway, one thing I'm the most curious about is playing an acoustic-electric 4-string bass through the...
