FarWest Redhead EUB For Sale
£750


Recommended Posts

Hi all.

I'm new to selling on Basschat so treat me gently if I make a faux pas!

I'm looking to sell my FarWest Redhead four string. Hand made in Cornwall by Chris Balmforth (a thoroughly nice chap from my dealings with him). It's a few years old (I want to say four or five but I genuinely can't remember - I can check if it's important to you) bought from new and is barely played - mostly it's looking good in the corner and needs occasional dusting. It's in great condition.

Here's a link to Chris' website - there is a page for the Redhead II which is almost identical, but mine is an earlier model. The main difference is the headstock design.

There's also a youtube video of someone playing one - sounds a bit more percussive and thinner than mine, but that is likely far more to do with my technique, amp settings, and listening to it on my phone. As I understand it they have a reputation for sounding very double bass-like (my experience of EUBs and double basses is pretty much zero outside of this one so I have no idea if that's true).

I'll take some pictures and post them, probably over the weekend, but PM me if you want anything quicker than that.

Now the small print...

As with most EUBs it's a large beast, it doesn't have a case (they are available from the website, but mine didn't come with one) and I don't drive. So it's going to be collection only - I live in Woking, Surrey.

Payment in cash when you pick it up - I've read far too many scare stories about PayPal on this very site!

More than happy if anybody wants to pop round to give it a try.

If you fancy it, either trying on buying, PM me and we can sort something out.

Cheers,

Steve
