andybassdoyle Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) Dear all, Picked this up in a trade recently (hope you don't mind me linking to your add Paul). Really nice instrument but having put a few hours into it I'm not sure it's for me. I already play double bass and just can't sense a musical setting where I would want something in the middle if you know what I mean! Anyway, here are the details: I've priced it to sell but am quite open to any trades on this one. Hit me up BC folks! Cheers, Abd Edited March 2, 2019 by andybassdoyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Tempting. OTOH, it's flat-bridge, so using a bow would be severely limited. Hm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Shame it wasn't for you Andy. GLWYS. Yes, flat bridge and pretty flat fretboard - can't imagine bowing this would be possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mottlefeeder Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 My experience of an NS CRM5 5-string EUB is that the strings could not be bowed above 'fret' 5 due to the high action - you end up playing the intended string and the adjacent one. Unless the 5-fingerboard is designed to be significantly different radius and/or width to the 4-fingerboard, that might be a common problem.

Actually I really like the bass but I just can't see me using it ahead of either bass guitar or double bass..... I'm not really an arco player but I would say def no bowing on this..
