Hey Martyg; That'd be great, but are you the same martyg who was talking about living in East Texas down in the Lynn Seaton thread? That might make things a bit difficult for you and I to make that happen. Don't get me wrong, I'd LOVE to sell this bass -- to anyone! I'm definitely...

have lowered price to 950. Still willing to take offers. Bass will be in Maine on Monday December 8th... can also make other arrangements...

SOLD! Hi there everyone; Well, I finally found a fully carved and I'm going down to pick it up on Monday. Thus, my very first bass, my beloved Engelhardt C1 is up for sale. Its kinda premature to be trying to sell my bass before I pick up the new one, but the thing is I'm going to be in...

DrUrb, I wholeheartedly appreciate the time you've taken to give me an account of your personal experience with this bass. And thanks to hdiddy, bass, and especially Jake DeVilliers for all the time you've taken to answer my questions! You're right, its high time I was planning to go out there...

Hey thanks for all your help everyone (even though I'm still feeling a bit conflicted about what to do) Drurb, could you comment on how you felt about the narrow upper bout compared to that on your old Kay? Bringing my old bass with me makes a lot of sense... but I have a Yaris hatchback --...

Hello again drurb! Thanks so much for your insight. But look here From the Upton website: "The Medio-Fino double bass sports a spruce top, solid maple ribs, and laminated maple back." Invalid Link Removed Doesn't that mean that the sides are carved and not ply? Does that make any difference...

I have the exact same problem! And I can attest that if you don't get it figured out it will result in long-term pain. I played with it locked for a matter of weeks and then couldn't play in thumb position for the next two months while the joint recovered (that's what I get for trying to explore...

Hi! Thanks for the quick response! You know it looks a lot like the Corsini here too: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] The sides are apparently carved, not ply. Only the back is ply so that's why I'm worried about the dents/cracks. I did try to get info from Upton but they refused to answer...

Hi again everyone, just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated all your helpful suggestions! I went to the first rehearsal and the conductor was very surprised to notice that I'd gone from playing piccolo in the last concert to playing bass... what can I say -- I'm a person of extremes...

Hi again; So I'm still looking for a bass to upgrade to from my Engelhardt and I found out that there is a person selling an Upton Medio Fino Hybrid. From his pictures, it appears to be the same one that Upton was selling here: Invalid Link Removed Now, just to recap, I'm currently...

Another photo.

Hi there everyone; I've been doing a lot of research on this forum and elsewhere about Juzeks because there is someone in my city selling a used Juzek half-sized bass and I'm trying to decide whether to buy it or not. I was hoping you folks (Especially Ken Smith if he's around...) might be...

Hi there folks. Been awhile since my last post. Just for background information, I've been playing bass for about 8 months now. I've made progress that I'm satisfied with but getting a consistently good tone is still a major issue. But I have loved every step of the way in learning this...

Hi there; So I picked up a used Engelhardt C1 from Boston recently as my first bass. Looks like it hadn't been played in a decade, probably still has the original strings on it... the screw for the end-pin has somehow been worn clean off so I cannot adjust the end pin at all (which has been...

Well thanks so much everyone for all the great advice on this bass! And so quickly too! I'm feeling a lot more confident about starting up with this now. I noticed today that someone even closer to me is offering a Kay M1B for sale for 2500 obo (it wasn't well advertised and that is why I...
