fiatcoupe432 Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 Wow , this are super rare beast ! Since Greg passed this have increased incredibly in value! I have played a very similar spec to this one when in US and it was absolutely a dream to play ...... glwts 1
eubassix Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 Exceptional instruments!.. lovely to see one here, and a great shame that the Co. didn't continue long after Greg died so prematurely. I had an XT-33 / 5 IEP years back, bought directly from Greg. He once left a message for me (answering-machine, with a mini-tape!) which I had to take to work and have a USA colleague interpret - Greg's S,.Carolina twang was so strong (!). Adding some photos :- 4 1
eubassix Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 ... can only find old prints of the 'complete' instrument (scanned) :- 1 1
HazBeen Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 Super rare, Greg Curbow made ridiculously good sounding instruments, passed way too soon. GLWTS! 1
binky_bass Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 If only this was fretted!! A rare and stunning beast indeed.... 1

HumblePie Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 I had a 4-string fretted Petite, it was a very special bass. 1
TolerancEJ Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 I have a Greg Curbow Petite 6 although fretted and I always receive compliments on it. 1

bassmayhem Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 other than 33" scale, what are the specs for the seven string beauty? - String spacing? - Neck profile? - Weight? - Sale only, or open for trade? Very nice piece of wooden art...!

Very nice piece of wooden art...! Hi there ! As eubassix pointed out the 33 refers to the fingerboard length (there would be 33 frets). Its a 34" scale and weighs 6 kilos (It's a man's bass for sure). The string spacing is adjustable between 17 to 19 mm. The neck profile is a flat D I'd say - a fast neck so to speak. I prefer to sell it but i'm open to anything in the same ballpark. Cheers Theo Edited May 30, 2018 by amadeusex

Jerrylejer Posted July 28, 2018 Posted July 28, 2018 Are there Side dots ? Neck seems to be really wide, what can you tell us about playability ? How is it tuned ? And sound ... Honey mwah ? Sounds clear and wide when unplugged ? thanks for your time ! Jer
