Owen Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) [size=5][color=#FF0000]Price drop. Something has come up that I want. £1150[/color][/size] Audio demos in last post. Here is something you do not see very often. It is a 34" scale fretted EUB so it can do all sorts of things. I bought it because I really wanted to try a fretted EUB. It did what I hoped it would which is to give a relaxed DB angle right hand technique with the ease and punch of frets. This is if it is vertical. If it is horizontal then it is pretty bass Guitar-esque. I am now going to commission a 40" scale 6 string one with a bottom F#. So this needs to go but I am in no desperate hurry to sell. It is a nice design and it just works, as all NS instruments I have ever picked up do. I have copied and pasted the spec below because, well, why rewrite something which is already better than what I would write? It is as new, but for safety's sake I will say it is in VVVVVGC.

Tuned in fourths (EADGC or BEADG), the fingering positions and spacing are identical to the bass guitar, and therefore immediately familiar to any bass player. The Omni Bass can also be tuned in fifths, for fingerings that are more natural for the cellist seeking enhanced bass range. Fingerboard: The fretted Omni Bass features a highly arched fingerboard, similar to a cello, to optimize bow articulation. Fretted models have conventional bass guitar dot pattern. [url="http://www.nedsteinberger.com/instruments/polar.php"]Polar Pickup System:[/url] The multiple sensor NS Polar bridge pickup system has two modes of operation: "arco" and "pizzicato". This allows the player to optimize bowed [url="http://www.nedsteinberger.com/instruments/basscello-photo.php"][/url] response, and to control attack and decay characteristics for plucking. The deep bass and brilliant highs possible with piezo crystal technology give the instrument a beautiful, dynamic, and versatile sound. EMG™ Magnetic Pickups: Custom designed EMG low impedance magnetic pickups have a smooth response with lots of sweet midrange for the quintessential "electric" tone. Their relatively flat frequency response allows the natural sound of the instrument to project through. Each pickup is individually adjustable and internally shielded an internal preamp system for hum free performance. Active Controls: Two balance controls allow unlimited mixing options for the magnetic and the dual mode Polar Pickup systems. On-board pre-amplification provides master volume, bass and treble controls. The 18 volt power supply insures plenty of headroom for full dynamics. Polar Pickup systems. On-board pre-amplification provides master volume, bass and treble controls. The 18 volt power supply insures plenty of headroom for full dynamics. For even greater control, players can adjust the truss rod to tailor the neck relief to their particular needs. The result is a remarkably comfortable, even feel for every style of performance, and bass guitarists will find the Omni Bass even more inviting than ever as their "cross-over" instrument. Traditional upright players will also find the TransRadius design quite comfortable since many upright basses are designed with some degree of compound fingerboard curvature. Interchangeable Support Systems: The [url="http://www.nedsteinberger.com/instruments/systems.php#boom"]Boomerang™ Strap System [/url] is standard with the CR Omni Bass. Two articulated arms and a pivoting hub allow full mobility on stage or in studio. The comfortable Boomerang strap fits over the shoulder just like a guitar, but the adjustable arms allow the instrument to be placed in virtually any position in relation to the hands and body. The Boomerang Strap System allows full mobility for either bowing or plucking. Edited October 28, 2016 by owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alyctes Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I'd love this, but I need my internal organs. And their condition is not anywhere close to VVVVVGC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted December 4, 2015 Author Share Posted December 4, 2015 So, I am trying to flog an instrument which is virtually invisible due to it having no visibility on Youtube. I thought I better record some demos. Rough as, but you get the idea. I just plugged it into my interface and off I went. No EQ or anything else. https://soundcloud.com/teamruth/test-ns-bounce https://soundcloud.com/teamruth/walking-ns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falling_in2_infinity Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Hi Owen, I'm currently thinking about getting one of these, so I'd be quite interested in yours. Can you tell me, is it the E-C or B-G configuration? I'm actually interested in either, but I only have money for one and I'm considering all my options. Thanks! ...Joe.
