EssentialTension Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) [b]For Sale: NS Designs WAV4 EUB with upgrades - £500 - a bargain price!!![/b] I bought this from Lee650 back in March 2009 and here’s the original sale thread: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/43238-ns-design-wav4-eub/page__hl__ns+wav4__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.u...__fromsearch__1[/url] Since then I have fitted [b][url="http://store.hipshotproducts.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=321"]Hipshot Ultralite HB6Y black tuners[/url][/b] ($160 from Hipshot) and [b][url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/pirastro_obligato_kontrabasssaiten.htm"]Obligato strings[/url][/b] (£134 at Thomann) which are only a few months old with very little use. As well as the Hipshot tuners simply being better, the Obligato strings were difficult to use with the original tuners as they were really too thick for the hole in the tuner. I can include the original tuners if you want them. The EUB is in amberburst finish, with beech body and ebony fingerboard, and a piezo pickup with switching for arco or pizzicato - although I found the arco position more effective for pizzicato! This one has the [b]upgr[/b][b]aded stand[/b] found on the more expensive CRM models. Lee told me he thought there was a fault with the original one and Promenade Music, where he bought it, got the distributers to send an upgraded version of the stand. Also included is the original [b]NS soft bag[/b] which carries the EUB and the stand and has pockets for a bow etc. Condition is very good, I can only find one small bump but couldn't get it to show in a photo, and it's on the back and no-one will see it anyway. I’m looking for a cash sale at[size=6] [b]£500 [/b][/size]preferably with a [b]pickup from Brighton or a meet somewhere in the south-east (Clacket Lane M25 services is popular)[/b]. If I can't find a local or meet sale then I might post if I have to at the full cost of the buyer. So, let’s have some pictures. The whole thing: The body: The controls: Body and end of fingerboard: Head and Obligatos: Tuners: Stand: I’m looking for a cash sale at[size=6] [b]£500 [/b][/size]preferably with a [b]pickup from Brighton or a meet somewhere in the south-east (Clacket Lane M25 services is popular)[/b].
