ThomBassmonkey Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 (edited) Pretty much as it says on the tin, anyone looking at cheap EUBs will know about these. It's a sunburst one. I got it a while ago with the intention of using it for acoustic gigs and playing about on, but it's not getting used and I'd rather spend the time practicing bass guitar than learning EUB. As far as I know, it's in decent condition, it has both the body insert thingies with it and the tube soft case, but as I can't play it, I'm just going off what I know. Only thing I can say for a negative is that the fret markers aren't quite in the right places, they're still ok for an indication of where your fingers should be but they're not accurate. It's a fairly common problem from what I've seen with these though. AFAIK it still has the original strings on it, it does the job of an EUB as far as I can tell. I'm looking for £175 picked up (I won't post due to size) from J25 on the M1 (Notts/Derby area). I'll listen to trade ideas but there's nothing that grabs me in that price range, maybe a looper +cash my way but that's all I can really think of. Excuse my delighted expression, I'm trying to hold back the screams of joy... Edited August 4, 2011 by ThomBassmonkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Silly price ! I really fancy one of these and this price is annoying as i've just spent all my money . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomBassmonkey Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 Thanks, it's less than I spent on it before the 10 minutes of use it's had. Needs must though, it's not getting used though so it's first in the firing line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomBassmonkey Posted July 16, 2011 Author Share Posted July 16, 2011 Yeah, I might've considered posting by now, but all I have is the tube soft case and it's too big for anything else. I may be able to deliver within reason if the buyer covered petrol. I could really use this gone, bills coming in and things I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavgravy Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Soo frustrating! I NEED this bass! I have the money - I just live in Bournemouth and don't drive! If you ever end up having a holiday in the south let me know and bring the bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomBassmonkey Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 There's a couple of you that have said you'd take bit apart from the distance. I really don't dare ship it in just a soft case though. We have done some gigs recently in the south though, we don't have any more coming up at the moment though, if that changes I'll let you know.

Dread Bass Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Is the fingerboard asymetrical? I.e i mean flat under the E string? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomBassmonkey Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 I don't think so, I'm really not in the know about EUBs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomBassmonkey Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 Yep, the strings are arched. It has a bow with it, I've only used it once though and didn't really know what I was doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davewarwickbass Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Any chance of some recordings or videos? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomBassmonkey Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 I'll try and get a recording done at some point, no promises though as I'll need to do a full track. It's exactly what you'd expect, it does the trick but it's nothing special. There's plenty of reviews on them around the forum which sum them up well.

ThomBassmonkey Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 Loads of interest in this if I post so I know the price is right, I just need a buyer that is local or can collect. I'm actually past the financial buggery that made me put this up for sale so I'm slightly more open to trades now so don't be afraid to ask, I'd still rather have the cash though.

ThomBassmonkey Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 I'm getting a crazy amount of IMs about this at the moment. I have gigs for the next couple of days (as well as just getting home from one) so I'll try and sort through and reply to the IMs then, apologies if you're waiting to hear back from me. It's likely from a quick glance at them that it'll be sold, so unless you're offering a trade of something I'm really after or have the cash waiting and can pick up from my place in the next week (in case something doesn't work out with potential buyers that have already IMed me, I work on first come, first served), you've probably missed your chance I'm afraid.

ThomBassmonkey Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 This has sold, I was discussing it with someone earlier in the week and hadn't realised that he'd confirmed he was going to buy so thanks for all the interest, but this is provisionally sold. I'll take the time to reply to IMs on Sunday still. Thanks all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
