slobluesine Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) Bespoke Superlight EUB with Kent Armstrong magnetic pickup, any std double bass pickup can be fitted into the bridge too, comes with D'Addario Helicore light strings, stand and bag. very low action so great to play and everything folds away into the padded bag. the neck is also detachable for the world tours £900 plus post Edited January 13, 2012 by slobluesine
TheRev Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 I can't believe you still haven't sold this! One of the best EUB's out there people, and for an excellent price!
slobluesine Posted January 5, 2012 Author Posted January 5, 2012 could not agree more Rev, VERY funky EUB
Walker Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 This is fascinating me - I love the look, but can't find any info about them online. I'm not an upright player, but would love to start experimenting and the compactness of this looks good to me. Are there any youtube vids or soundclips or reviews around that you know of? I've looked but not managed to come up with anything. How is this different from an NS for example (sound wise). Sorry for the dumb Q's, but I'm not in Essex very often and a trip down for a chat would be difficult! Cheers Chris
slobluesine Posted January 11, 2012 Author Posted January 11, 2012 Superlights are rare beasts, its not really an EUB, there are no electronics unlike all of the other EUB's. its basically an upright without the body, it has a standard tailpiece and bridge so you can fit any double bass piezo pickup
TheRev Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 The were soundclips on the Bespokebasses.co.uk website... but the site seems to have disappeared Here's a chap on yootoob though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JZElc_joUA
slobluesine Posted January 11, 2012 Author Posted January 11, 2012 Thx Rev, yeah, Jerry's site has been down for a while now, not sure what's happened but i do know he was struggling with the competiton from Staggs and the like
Walker Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 I'm looking forward to joining the upright ranks. Thanks for all your advice too. i feel i have a tricky few months ahead! Chris
slobluesine Posted January 17, 2012 Author Posted January 17, 2012 on its way later today Chris, there are lots of BC'rs here if you need any tips, strings, pickups, amps, spare EUB's, double basses, superglue..... [b] [/b]
