The Murphy Method learn by ear w/Marshall Wilburn, Beginner, Intermediate and Slap Bass is probably one of the best for a beginner bass enthusiast. You can check a sample of it on You-Tube under, The Murphy Method Beginning Bass. NoBow

From all the info and comments I could find on TB it would seem to me that would be a high price to pay for a fully carved Eberle. I don't know what the year 1980 would have in increasing the price but I doubt it would bring it up to that price. I did not even know what year my model was until...

I'll take your offer of $45 shipped for the Zyex W/long E. Contact me at: [email protected] NoBow

In the world of bluegrass, which is the only world I've been in now for 35 years, you don't see carved basses very often. This is the first and only fully carved bass I have had the experience of playing. I hope I run across another from time to time. I'll be on the lookout for them now that I...

I see now what they mean when they say a carved bass will give you the best sound. Of course that depends on the type of music you are playing I'm sure. I play bluegrass exclusively and my ply Englehardt does a great job of producing the good traditional bluegrass sound but I'm beginning to like...

Matt, I'm really liking the Eberle more and more every time I use it. It is like you say, opening up more and the tone is getting better each time. It is getting deeper and richer. The group I'm playing with likes the sound of it also. The Spiros along with a Golden Spiral G, were not new...

I'm looking forward to using my carved bass outside for a gig or jam. I have a friend who also has a carved bass, (don't know the maker) who has not had any problems with his here in and around Memphis, TN. We have a fairly humid climate year around which I understand is not as near a problem...

Thanks Matt, you're right about it opening up more and more. When I took it to the first jam to try it out, I thought what have I got here; a waste of money for sure but then about an hour later I begin to see a great difference in the sound as it began to open up. I don't know anything about...

I am wondering if anyone is using a carved German made Wilhelm Eberle for playing bluegrass music and how it is working out for you. I have a 1995 Eberle that is set up with an adjustable bridge and Spirocore mittles E&A with Golden Spiral D&G. I do like the tone and combination of sustain and...

Thanks ShadyGrove for the info on the stamped date location. I am very pleased with my Eberle. It is also a new/old bass that had not been used when I got it. I had a professional set up done on it and it is sounding better each time I play it. I play bluegrass and it fits in real well. I also...

Can anyone tell me if the number stamped on the end of my fully carved Eberle, made in Germany bass, under the end pin bracket on the bottom is the manufacture date. It is stamped: 1 12 95. This looks like to me that it could be the date it was made. It has a number on the inside up at the...
