    FINAL PRICE £370 Hi guys, Total impulse buy on my part and here I am with this lovely '57 strat relic and no use for it whatsoever. The guitar is made of Fender parts, all consistent with the original Fender model but it was NOT made on a Fender factory, but by a luthier in Manchester. A really lovely job, I am in fact a guitarist (classical though) and it plays really great. The looks are too die for, the relic'ing is great. The pickups are original vintage American. The luthier work consists of neck set and fret dress, intonation etc. All in tip top shape. It comes with a brand new tweed case. Any question please ask. Postage included in the price.

    Here's a set of D'Addario Helicore Hybrids which came with my Eminence Bass and were only on for a few days. The bizzare thing is that the E, A and D are hybrids for sure (green and gold silks at the bottom. However the G string is an orchestral Helicore (blue and gold silk at the bottom). No idea why, I can only guess that the guys at Eminence didn't like the hybrid G as too zingy? Anyhoo, £50 posted for a very useful set of helicores.

    Hey all, I'm gonna add a video of Esperanza Spalding rocking the Emininence and one of how to remove the neck etc.. If Esperanza doesn't "swing" nothing will...

    [quote name='iamtheelvy' timestamp='1452183271' post='2947382'] Oooh, interesting... What's the power rating of the III? [/quote] 500w I believe. To be fair it actually says 600w on the back of you enlarge the pic.

    Bump for reduced price to £300.

    I don't name, but I sure have called them a few choice names over the years. It was always my fault though...

    I'd like this to go to a good home. It's recorded sound is incredible as well as the live experience being such a pleasure. Carrying to the gig is a breeze, no feedback and probably the best amplified sound you have ever had (it was for me). And in as new condition!! My double bass work has completely dried and I don't believe in keeping gear I don't use when I can use the money to finance other projects. Plus, and this is a huge plus, with the removable neck and flight case, you can fly just as trouble free as the guitarist at no surcharge at all. All the best to all.

    A bump for this incredible little cab. Make no mistake this is no practice amp: this will nail any "acoustic" or low key gig without a sweat. Also, it's the best possible stage monitor for loud gigs as it's so pure. This on stage and d.i. to Front of House you can arenas. Granted, probably not for metal!! I would defo keep it if I needed it, but I don't use it so it is wasted on me. It us absolutely as new.

    BUMP for added photos

    Price down to £300. Part of an exchange on this great forum, this is in pristine condition and sounds absolutely lovely, but I no longer need an amp head at all. It comes with an original padded bag, which is a bit tatty but does the job very well indeed. Postage to UK is included in the price.

    Price down to £1750. I have an almost new Eminence EUB with removable neck and flight case. It's done 7-8 gigs, still absolutely immaculate, flight case never even used. I'm in no rush to sell really but my DB work has dried and I have always seen equipment really pragmatically: it doesn't get used, it goes! I changed the stock strings to D'Addario Zyex, other than that is just like new. It comes with the 2 padded bags (one is for the bass as a whole and one is for just the neck when it is removed). On top of that I'm gonna add in the flight case, which makes it THE best upright travelling option at the best price ever!

    Dash! Just put it on eBay and I had one bidder so no sorry, head to eBay and I'll mark this as withdrawn. Cheers.

    Still here: nobody fancy top quality gut on the cheap?

    Eminence EUBs are a wonderful thing. In a live situation, especially on bigger gigs, you cannot tell the difference between an eminence and a full DB, and you get great tone control, no feedback and zen-like piece of mind that you're gonna have no trouble wrestling with your tone. If one can get over its look, one will love the Eminence IMO. Plus, it sounds great in studio just through a DI, plus you can stick it in a golf flight case and fly all over for no surcharge. Brill. I got one a few weeks back, 5-6 gigs later, an absolute joy.

    Thanks Sy. Bumpety-bump.

    Just sold my double bass bag to Gareth: great guy, deal with confidence here. Thank you very much.

    Bump

    iPhone app tuner before the gig and ear on the gig for me. I have a wee Sabine clip on tuner just in case and it picks up low strings harmonics really well. Uh, apologies, just realised this thread is ancient and nobody is looking for the advice any longer.
  24. Rabbie
    The mediums are excellent strings IMO, very powerful, complex, dark. I really enjoyed them on my previous bass.

    Action

    [quote name='BenTunnicliffe' timestamp='1449703905' post='2926224'] First of all - JEEEEEZ!! 12mm?! yes but bear in mind it was with raw gut strings and primarily slapping sets. Also, while I'm here, I have been told on numerous occasions that it's worth slowly raising the action of your double bass (provided you have an adjustable bridge) as you slowly get your $h1t together and your hands get stronger and that it is the route to sounding more proper..... Myth? [/quote] That was the general consensus in older days, I myself got trapped in that school of thought. Probably myth in 2015 IMO. Truth is: 1- you get older, tire more easily, even as an experienced player. 2 - you become a better musician and wish to express yourself more fluid-ly 3 - you almost always play through an amp or DI. All lf this points to getting a bass that you find enjoyable to play. For some, that means a very low action, for other a slightly higher action, but probably rarely a super high action. Still my opinion though, no gospel by any means.
