If that box stays sealed, the teasing will be even more strongly felt at NJ’s end (sounds rude, wasn’t meant to be).

[Adee]

Looks suspiciously like an EUB !?

[Velarian]

Have you tried shaking it yet to hear what rattles inside?

[meterman]

Is it a Burns Flyte?

 

A Burns Flyte that’s been converted to fretless and refinished in silver sparkle? 

 

If it is, and you don’t get on with it could I possibly have first dibs?

[Pea Turgh]

I just noticed a clue on the box…

 

[Paddy515]

Clue could be the date of opening - its a Christmas tree!!!!

Yup.  NS NXTa 5-string.  Black.

 

My wife had been pestering me into playing an upright at some point, then suggested my birthday.  My mother-in-law is chipping in too.

 

I've only ever played one on two occasions, 30 years apart.  How hard can it be, eh?  😂

Let me know how you get on. My missus keeps suggesting it to me, like they are exactly the same instruments “they are all basses, and you like jazz”  🤦🏻‍♂️😂

 

Happy birthday for Dec 1st 🥳

It’s an advent calendar with 24 tiny basses inside ?

Has it been checked and resealed? Just thinking it’d be a nightmare to Wait and find any shipping niggles…and then it’s been 6

months and the shop won’t take it back etc…

I'd tear through that like a hungry wildcat. Not big on patience...

I got it from the Bass Centre in Bagshot, about ten minutes from me (they're UK NS Design distributors).  Spent about an hour catching up with Barry and Chris; Barry understands the circumstances and said if there's any issues (unlikely), they'll swap it.
