I've had a NS full size EUB And moved it on as I mainly play fretless I ended up ordering a NS Omni bass 34 scale and I find it's easier to play and switch between both Good technique will help get better intonation

Yeah thanks I did arrange to go down and check it out at the weekend but the seller said next week But I'm going to pass as I've asked the seller for pictures and some information on the the condition off the bass And he didn't reply after 4 messages and still hasn't mentioned the condition then said possibly come down next weekend Shame really The search continues 👌

Thanks yeah you never know Definitely worth a trip down 👍

This is the Bass would be a long drive put could be worth a look

Sound advice thank you 👍 It's a 3/4

I've actually found a lefty double bass for a very reasonable price £300 It's a Gewa Monnich laminated I'm going to hopefully check it out this weekend has everyone had any experience with this make And is a laminated double bass okay It will be for Jazz Any help is mutch appreciated

That's how I use the amp I just set 3 effects that I like And set the memory button To a nice present with reverb For my EUB sounds great 👍

Can anyone recommend a bag for the amp Cheers

I've decided to stick with my NS Omni Bass as I can get a nice fretless kinda upright sound But I'll be on the lookout for a used lefty double bass or if I can find a right handed one that's suitable to convert Thanks for the input form everyone 👍 Here's a piic of my NS

I've had this amp for a few months And was the same trying to get a good sound that I like In the end I used the global EQ setting It has parametric and graphic EQ I used the graphics EQ settings On my laptop and it sounds great 👍

I do have an NS Omni bass 5 string that's great as the scale length is The same as my electric Basses I actually had the full size version But the scale length gave me really bad hand pain I did have a few lessons from a upright player when I first got the NS But the scale length was the problem I still would love a double bass And the 1/4 seemed like a good solution Thanks for the advice on the 1/4 👍

Okay more developments I was looking into the 1/4 double bass but it seems there isn't many people using them as its more a student instrument But this could work for me as the size would be great it would fit in my car 😅 And using bass guitar fingerings I have combos and preamps as the acoustic volume wouldn't be as loud as a 3/4 Thomann said they can make a lefty 👌 Thomann 22 1/4 Europe Double Bass in a lefthand version and probably a 5 string Anyone using or played one?

Thanks Bluejay Great advice the thomann route is probably the best way But will look out for a used one you never know 😅 I do have an NS Omni 5 string that's a great bass and has a really nice sound I use it in my Jazz band but I just love the sound of double basses I like the look of the 5 string double bass that thomann are offering in lefty But would this be too much to learn on double bass as specially with the longer scale and different hand fingerings ?

Hi, I'm looking for a lefty Double bass It looks like there isn't to many around aspecealy on the used market I was wondering if anyone have converted one ? Or is there any shops online I have seen a few on thomann There's even a 5 string are these a good buy Double bass is something I've been hoping to play for some years but finding one left handed is hard Any help appreciated 👍

Shame they don't make the wav in lefty I do have a Omni bass just started using it in my Jazz band It's an amazing bass Just thought it would be nice to try a fretted but it seems they aren't very popular Thanks for the suggestion 👍

I think it's the neck profile that's different as well but would probably work okay 👍

Yeah it's heavy but I had a fender Japanese 75 reissue that was heavier I'll manly be using it sat down for practice 👍

Seriously it's really is nice just oiled The fingerboard and put some flats on And it plays and sounds great I have some spare pups but don't know if it's worth changing Anyone upgraded one of these

Just picked this up 55 bucks Can't believe how good it is 👌

Thanks for the info I'm definitely thinking about getting one But would be a custom order as I'm a lefty

I've been looking at the fretted Omni Bass But there isn't much out there regards to reviews I was wondering if anyone on here has one or played one Any input would be much appreciated 👍

Haha 😂 it came up on a left handed eBay search I didn't realise 👍

Nice lefty Jaguar https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/405078208483?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=dyf8lgj0sie&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=uNGl4Fo9QWG&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
