hehe,

cool to see this thread still alive.

behold, my trip hop band's old SoundClick site, where by scrolling to the regular "non-remix" version of "Secrets and Lies", you can hear my El in action. its a really early demo i did of the song, and its the only clip i really have of ol' Betsy, cause i used mostly my Sadowskys on the rest of our newer album. but at least, you can hear her in action.

to jog your memories, my Elrick's a singlecut neck thru, in a super resonant swamp ash body, crotch walnut top, macassar ebony board, w/ maple neck block. pickups are bart jazzes w/ the bart preamp. 35" scale. strung up with Sadowsky Nickels.

from what i remember, i think i had the treble rolled waaaay down, rolled down a touch of the upper mids, and bumped up a nice amount of the bass. using both pickups and ran straight into the board via a countryman. no EQ on the board.

whether or not is sounds like a bolt on jazz? i dont think so, but i couldnt care. sure, i have sadowsky's, but cant get enough of that woody fat tone of the Elrick.

 

Nice, Joker!!

 

I'd still like to have one of these..

 

I should have one soon

 

I'm with you Mark. If anyone knows of one with a spalted maple top for sale, TALK TO ME!!


Brad, you should become a dealership. You got more action than a lot of bass dealers out there!

 

There's a lot of activity out there. I'm just scratching the surface.

 

Yeah, I was just having a discussion at alt.guitar.bass about the obvious effect of neck gap on Andy Fraser's tone on "All Right now". Whenever he hit the Ab there was the slighest warble. Damn you neck pocket!!



Anyhoo... got this NJS 5 (2nd from left) recently in trade for my Smith. Sweet.

 

Wow. Learn somthing every day. Didn't know Fender was making FMTs back in the mid 70s.

Nice Elrick, btw...

Thanks.

 

No problem.

And no gap here.

 

Congratulations!!

 

this is my bass

Elrick Gols Series 5

my biggest satisfaction when i play!

 

I just bought a like new GS 5 with an Ash body, Chechen top and head, Wenge/Wenge neck, and Bart electronics. I can hardly wait to get it. I sold my Elrick not too long ago, and certainly regretted the day I sold it. I was searching everywhere to find another, especially one with a Wenge neck. Pics can be seen here:http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/mgmir...done=http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph//my_photos.

 

Hey guys I just purchased my dream bass. I have been after an Elrick for some time now. I just got a 4 string Elrick with a Walnut top,matching headstock, and a bubinga fretboard. The thing is beautiful and sounds better than it looks. Pix coming soon!! My question is how to care for the bass. I want to make sure the wood doesnt dry out and start looking dull. Any ideas? I would appreciate any help. Thanks

 

I bought the actual bass on the Elrick site. It is in the gallery. I will try to get home photos on soon..

 

Very nice!
