wordsetcetera Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 (edited) Hello fellow chatters, I have an NSCR5M electric upright with endpin stand and tripod plus the more sturdy gig bag. Comes with a used set of the original strings, is currently sporting NS helicore hybrids tuned BEADG, I have a high C also, which will also be supplied with the bass. The bass has been gigged for the past two years, in a jazz environment, so has been reasonably well looked after. I will post pictures later today (if I can work out the fangled technology!?!). I am looking for £1100, or a very near offer. I can accept credit cards (not AMEX!) through my shop, or paypal, or even good ole foldin' cash. Can meet (for reasonable petrol costs) on the M25 for you London peeps, or anywhere between Dorchester and Cardiff on Friday or Sunday this week. I am based in Dorchester, Dorset. NOT looking for trades, sorry. If you want the best EUB, this is it. Ciao f'now, Simon Edited November 17, 2008 by wordsetcetera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frusty Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I have always thought these EUB's are one of the most beautiful instruments ever created. Good luck with the sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul, the Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I love your shop. Downstairs is very cosy. It's been a while since I've been in, but on the most recent occasion Nina Simone was playing and it put me in a wonderfully congenial mood for the rest of the day. How about half in cash half in work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsetcetera Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 Well, I'm glad someone likes my shop...it's a bit quiet at the moment, pre-grockle season 'n' all. "How about half in cash half in work?" Man, if I was a rich philanthropist I would, sadly I'm not...rich that is! Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 If I didn't already have a CR5M I'd be all over this. Wonderful instrument. The new prices for these seem to have shot up recently making this even more of a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now £1100.00 Simon[/quote] Is it still available, and what do you mean by <reasonably well looked after>? Are we talking about surface burnishing where your thumb rested, or chips and dings from playing shoulder to shoulder on small stages?

I'd love to live in a jazz environment, I'd probably get out of bed an hour before I went to sleep, eat breakfast through my arse and go to work in an office for a holiday.

You heard of "jazz cigarettes"? Well I was just having fun with the idea of a "jazz environment". Stand at ease, soldier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not used to seeing "my arse" used in sentences that are not derogatory (or medical!). Perhaps I need to get out more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsetcetera Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 Hi, Jazz environment... to clarify, small duo/trio gigs with chilled people in wine bars/restaurants. It (the bass) has been well looked after, with general playing wear, no big dings, chips or any "damage". Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
