Stepping up from a Stagg EUB - recommendations please!
Hellzero replied to Al Krow's topic in EUB and Double Bass
The Eminence EUB is certainly the best choice, but like the NS Design CR series, it's not cheap, but they appear second hand from time to time and often around £1000~1500. -

There's this accessory for the NS Design EUB's : https://thinkns.com/accessory/bass-end-pin-stand/ -
I'm was looking for those Badass shorter saddles screws for a long time, then I saw that Dave had some. He simply sent them to me for free, just asking to put some Euros in a charity box. What a real gentleman. Cheers Dave.

Fantastic work so far @Andyjr1515. I'll follow this very interesting saving.

Except EMG, a few Seymour Duncan models and a very few other brands, all pickups on instruments are passive. Now, you can always bypass the active preamp with a switch or a push-pull volume or tone. As easy as that. That said, an instrument is a whole, so the sound of a BB1100S will not be the same as a BB1200 or BB1600, even with the same pickups, but the overall pickup grain will be the same. Now, there will be another war starting with the Almighty Pickups Power believers, but don't worry, the thread will derail by itself or it's not BassChat anymore. 😂

Got the last one available anywhere, by Music Store, last week. In fact, I prefer the poly mode to the vintage one tone wise, but the OC-5 is still idiosyncratic like the OC-2 and, to me, it's an important part of the equation...

If the link doesn't embed, simply edit your post and it will work. There must be script error in the command line for the embedding somewhere, but good luck to find it. Nice "Halloween" cover, @fleabag.

Due to the Covid-19 situation and severe back problems (66% officially disabled because of it) plus right shoulder injury (non-operable capsulitis from which, after more than 3 years, I will never fully recover), I'm selling all my basses over 4 kilos and also the ones I'm not really using.

It has been fitted with two new batteries and a (now used) set of Fodera Nickel strings (45 - 65 - 85 -105), but will come with a brand set of Fender 7250ML nickel-plated steel roundwound strings.

The pickups are marked too, particularly the neck pickup under the E string as they were too close to the strings...

I've also considerably lowered the price for a quick sale. WOOD & TRONICS Zoid 5 (to me their best design), naturally reliced : some pay huge amounts for this by 7ender, here it's free ! NO TRADES ! NON NEGOTIABLE PRICE ! Asking price including shipping fully insured with tracking number to your place in these European countries (ask for other countries) : Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (excluding French overseas departments and territories), Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom : £1599 GBP !!! A new one would cost you at least twice the asking price if you order it today with the same specifications and a few months to get it. Shipping to United Kingdom is, of course, possible, but with an extra customs fee (VAT + other taxes + courier fee), because U.K. is now outside EEC. In fully working condition, with some 13 years of use, but no abuse. Here are the specifications : Body : swamp ash wings with quilted maple top (and magnetic electronics lid) Neck : 3 pieces flamed maple through neck Fingerboard : rosewood with brass dots on the side and abalone on the fretboard Frets : 24 mandolin frets in perfect condition Headstock : 3 + 2 with matched quilted maple top Pickups : Nordstrand DC 5 with switch (chrome) working for the both pickups together in parallel / single coil / series (so you have no strange sounds when blending them) Preamp : Aguilar OBP-3 Controls : volume, balance, bass, mid with one switch (chrome) for the 400 / 800 Hz frequency, treble Tuners : Hipshot Licensed Bridge : original two parts Wood & Tronics (ETS) Strings spacing at bridge : 19 mm Nut : brass Strings spacing at nut : 10 mm Knobs : original metal Scale : 34 inches Hardware colour : gold except the switches and the output jack, which are chrome Truss rod : one (real Fodera) Finish : light gloss Land of craftsmanship : Italy Serial number : unknown Year : 2007 Weight : 3.905 kilos Action : from 1.5 mm under the G string to 2 mm under the B string at 12th fret (can go lower, but was perfect for me) Will come with an unbranded hard case. Non-smoking environment as usual. The bass has been fully set up professionally. It has been fitted with a new battery and a (now used) set of Fodera Nickel strings (45 - 65 - 85 -105 - 135). Early hollowed model à la Fodera, totally hand made (look at the lid), with that sweet and detailed sound typical from that period. Lots of wear and a few dings for this player, but don't be afraid, everything is working fine without any electronics scratches (except the usual Aguilar crack when switching the mids) and no hidden issues... The price asked reflects that condition. Link to the old Wood & Tronics page : ZOID Custom Variations Wood & Tronics (wtbasses.net) Here a video by Enrico PASINI himself to give you an idea of how a Zoid 5 can sound : And another one, made by Arnaud MORIN aka @tournesol74 (33 inches scale, ebony fretboard and different pickups, but the "sound" of the Zoid 5 is there) : What you see is what you get ! Look at the photos taken at different angles to see the real condition, the wear and dents. Absolutely no real damage, only wear of time and playing !

I never understood why Gotoh made such a cleverly designed bridge and used bloody f*cking zamak crap alloy for the saddles.
