Yeah I was suprised at the 7k evaluation from NS too. This is a us5. Made in US. The EU5 goes for like 6k new I think. I’m guessing the extra grand is there for rarity and the road case. The neck does take some getting used to. I gotta say though, this bass has a sound all its own. Really...

I posted this in double basses and haven’t got a lot of views. I saw another member post an electric upright in the electric classifieds and thought I’d give it a go. This is a great bass for an electric bassist without a lot of experience on an upright (like me). I spoke to NS design and they...

Pinon Hills.

90’s Engelhardt M1 with golden slaps and a realist pickup. Comes with bag and stand.

After an Inquiry here, and a few emails back and forth with NS I’ve learned that this bass is quite special and rare. Early US made 5 string upright from NS with what I assume is a very rare pickup configuration. I can’t even find a pic of one like it online, and the forum members that were...

Turns out NS can’t pin down an exact year, they said between 1994 and 2005. They also don’t keep accurate records on when certain pickup configurations were made. My aunt said she remembers my uncle buying it in the 90’s sometime. Anyhow, according to them, my bass is more valuable than a new...

Just checking back in here. I’m still waiting on a response from NS. The info from Wasnex was extremely helpful. it was great to learn mine is likely a US5. I can’t wait to figure out what the deal is with the pup configuration. I’ve actually decided to part with this bass, so after I get a...

Yes I do! I’m not much of an upright player, but it’s time to learn. I also inherited a 5 string upton, which is incredible. I’m totally spoiled. I can’t believe it.

Yeah I’m thinking it’s an early EU5.

Wow really? That would be so cool. I’ll let you what I hear from NS as well.

I’m looking forward as well. I can’t even find a pic online of another.

Hi there! This is my first post. I’ve searched the forums here many times but never joined until this morning. I inherited my uncles bass collection and this EU5 is a stand out. It looks older to me. Anybody know anything about the history? Value? Year? I also have an inquiry in with...
