ianent Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 If anyone is thinking about purchasing an electric Upright I can recommend one of these beautiful basses, (if you can find one!!!) the only place I can see them online is here: http://www.keymusic.com/item/landscape-swing-bass-standard-avc/ When I reached the age of 50 (a few years ago) I decided it was time to treat myself having played other peoples over the years. I actually ordered a 3/4 size traditional double bass (Chinese) but it took so long to arrive that the seller was so embarrassed that he gave me my deposit back and I then found this Instrument at The Music Room Cleckheaton (West Yorkshire) http://www.themusicroom-online.co.uk/news.php?id=3 I paid around £700 and this included a really smart carry case which resembled a fisherman's rod case. Made in Korea to a very high quality the Bass Spec : [color=#333333][font=arial][size=3]This perfectly balanced swing bass features a solid Alder body with original body arm, maple neck Bolt-on with original head stock, Solid ebony fingerboard 42.5", Landscape original GB-2 machine heads Gotoh-Japan, D'Addario HP-610 strings USA, Maple bridge & Ebony tailpiece, Fishman USA BP-100 Piezo-PU + original magnetic-PU, Original blend circuit + 2-band EQ (low&Mid). Gigbag included. A true masterpiece[/size][/font][/color][color=#333333][font=arial][size=3] [/size][/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=arial]I noticed a post on here discussing Stagg EUBs and before I purchased mine I tried out a few of the more well known makes and found them sadly lacking, did not feel right, buzzed on fingerboard, I knew Paul McNab (Huddersfield Bass Player who made the fantastic 'Paulman' Basses) and before his sad passing I nearly purchased the last one he made. The Landscape bass is the only thing that comes anywhere near his instruments in looks, finish, and playability. [/font][/color] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaveBlue Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I realize this looks like bumping a zombie thread but since there is so little to be found on the internet about this (apparently pretty good) EUB, I am wondering how you feel about the instrument six months down the line? Would be great hearing some more about it since I am in the opportunity of getting one myself and am pondering between the Landscape or a NS NXT.

Happy Jack Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I know nothing about the brand but, for that price, it would need to be really very good. If you buy one, come back and tell us about the bass, won't you? In fact, come back anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But up front, with a 23 year hiatus possibly ending tomorrow night, I am far from an authority on uprights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
