geoffbassist Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) Hi guys, I'm looking for an EUB for silent arco practice. I need a frame/knee support so I can practice sat down or stood up. I'm really interested in a Mo Clifton EUB or Yamaha silent bass. Either the SLB 100 or 200, ideally with knee support. Please drop me a pm if you have one to sell. Cheers Geoff http://www.geoffchalmers Edited January 11, 2012 by geoffbassist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffbassist Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) Thanks Jim. I've already tried that one, but the seller wants gets a replacement upright before he let's it go. Edited December 9, 2011 by geoffbassist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 IIRC Mr Bassman (Keith) has an SLB for sale in his signature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Just checked, he does indeed have an SLB100 listed as FS/FT in his sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbassist Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 I've already been to see Keith who very kindly let me play his eub's. I think he's a bit unsure on which ones to keep :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBod Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Did you see the Frequent Flyer prototype currently listed at The Gallery? I'm guessing its Dave Chamberlain selling, so you could always make him an offer.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbassist Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 Thanks for that BassBod. I hadn't seen that. I think I need more of a frame, but it's a great design. Would be nice to give one a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBod Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I know what you mean about the frame - it does have some supports, but I think they are more skeletal than the wooden EUB versions. This is probably the same bass that was for sale here a few weeks ago - worth a search for some more images? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbassist Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 I think I would struggle without the support. Particularly sitting. Ive also found similar designs tend to turn when standing. The 'T Bar' on the Eminence does a great job at stopping this, but I want the bass to feel as much like an upright as possible. Its main use will be for silent practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBod Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 That's going to be one of Mo's "proper job" EUBs then. Mine is pretty much identical to an acoustic (generic, rather than a specific bass...my Zeller is nothing special!) so if you close your eyes, then everything is where it should be. Thats nice. I first saw the T bar idea on the '80's Merchant EUB - simple idea that works. The leg/knee support on Mo's EUB does the same job (I broke mine on a tour...and yes, it does want to spin without it). Best of luck on the hunt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
