Burns-bass

This is beautiful. What a shame about the sticker.

I've had two of these. The last one I sold to Phil Oakey of the Human League who used it for a tour. In fact, I think I sent his signed letter to someone on here. I sold that one for £750 about 10 years ago. This is a steal for what is likely to be a proper collectible of the future. I'd love to have another at some point in the future. Good luck with the sale, I'm sure someone will love this

Bump - price drop to £650. Happy to look into shipping.

I’ve recently done this and agree that it’s a lot safer.

What a shame! They’re quite rare. I think he only makes a handful every year. If you don’t get on with the KK let me know.

You don’t see these very often! This is a handmade ‘stick’ upright bass. Built by a truly lovely chap in Cornwall the Farwest EUB is beautifully constructed (full specs below) from premium components. This is a Redhead model and is in good condition, although it has been gigged. There is some wear on the side of the fingerboard and a few minor marks, but nothing major at all. There are two pickups that offer a decent approximation of an upright sound. The all important waist rest is a revelation and works beautifully, flexing as you get higher up the fingerboard. I bought this on eBay about 5 months ago. I swapped the strings and had the rest rebuilt by Farwest (receipt included). I’m selling because the MK bass you can see on the background of the picture suits me better and has a more authentic tone (at almost 4 time’s the price). Not all stick basses are made equal. For little more than the price of a Stagg you can have a boutique handmade bass. Im always interested in trades. I’m up for anything! Price is £675. This is about half the cost of the one for sale in London.
