Show your Elricks...........

mmmmmmm This one ways only 6.6 pounds! I wonder if it sounds like a J-Bass.

 

My 8 lb. fretless SC5, burl maple over ash, pink ivorywood board, Aero's is still the one. I let another bass player play a song on it during a gig, and he's still after me to sell it to him, he's up to $3,000 and is dead serious, he's got the $ in a special account in case I ever change my mind.

I used to think it was maybe a little too "round" sounding in a Classic Rock setting, then I heard it recorded in CD - wow, it absolutely dominated the band (2 Les Pauls at that!).

 

Probably not. Elricks tend to have their own unique vibe. Jazz-ish but I doubt I'd mistake one for a Fender or clone. The highs are very distinctive.


That bass has an Aguilar preamp. I just checked out a Platinum 5 with the OBP-3 and as much as I like that preamp in one of my Brubakers I didn't care for it at all in the Elrick. Different strokes.

BTW the price on this at GGuitars is very reasonable IMO. Very.

 

I've always been very interested in Rob's basses. If anyone sees a used 6 around pleeeaaaassssse let me know...........

 

SCHWING!!!!!!

 

This bass is for sale at G Guitars no???

Vince

 

Yep... and IMO the price is right

 

Decided to resurrect this thread with a couple links from Bass Northwest.

If the fretted model had j pickups, I'd be calling them NOW!

 

OH MY!!!!! That is some beautiful work.

 

I have an Elrick Gold Standard 5 that came my way from fellow TBer Big Joe. I really love this bass. So much so that my MTD 535 went bye bye. I would like to get another one in the future.

 

Hi, my name is Steve, and I'm an Elrick owner.....
I love my Elrick......is that a sin?????

 

Sadowsky!!

 

FMT!!!

 

Wish I could have been quicker on the draw w/ GGuitars on that Elrick! Maybe I can track down the current owner and trade him my rig ;-)

 

Hey Sufenta,
I love my Elrick proto 5'er too, but mama says I have to let it go to make room for the new F I just got from Adrian Garcia.
Look for it to be posted for sale soon. I hate to see it go, it responds so well to your touch and style!

 

Finally saw the light, huh?

 

A couple of months ago I dropped by Atlanta Bass Gallery and was just knocked out by an Elrick gold series 5 that I played there. I found a nice flamed maple top Elrick at GGuitars and couldn't resist. I love the neck profile and the 3/4" string spacing. Great slap bass and at 7 lbs. really takes a load of my shoulder!

 

Sweet

 

You mean the big gap where the neck meets the body?
