Philly Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 (edited) Up for sale or trade is my lovely EHB1505MS black ice flat, with a burl poplar top and mahogany body. I love these basses for their comfort but just want something a little more traditional at the moment. Open to trades for other 4 or 5 strings. it’s in really good condition with only one blemish on the top edge where you rest your arm which is hardly noticeable. The only alteration to standard was moving the strap button to a more traditional position by the bridge, which for me made the bass sit so much better. There are also larger dot markers on the side of the neck, but those are removable. I've owned both the 1500 and 1505 series basses, and this one is a substantial step up in build and tone. Comes with the finger ramp and decent original gigbag. Manufactures spec and blurb: Body & Neck The body of the EHB series basses has been carefully designed for optimal ergonomics. The bass will sit in a comfortable position whether you’re stood up or sat down, with a set of simple curves and contours that offer excellent mobility and flexibility. The body wood of choice is African Mahogany, with an eye-catching Poplar Burl top. The multi-scale neck employs a 9-piece design comprised of Panga Panga and Walnut. A set of Graphite reinforcement rods provide supreme stability, durability and resistance against the elements. Stainless Steel frets and luminous side dots further emphasise the expertise that has gone into the EHB’s design process. The multi-scale concept mirrors the movement of your hand, making for a comfortable, adaptive playing experience. Electronics & Hardware On the electronics front, you get a set of Nordstrand Big Split pickups with a hum-cancelling design. These pickups are known for their hybrid P/J tone, well balanced but with a bit of midrange bite when needed. A vari-mid 3-band EQ (complete with bypass switch) further complements a wide tonal palette. Finally, a specially-designed bridge – the MR5HS – is unique in that each bridge piece is independently attached to the body for maximum vibration transfer. Adjustable saddles, Schaller S-lock strap pins and a Neutrik locking jack are the final pro-grade appointments – this bass means business.

ASW Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Great price! I have the 6 string version and it's superb. It's very comfortable to play and very lightweight at 3.5kg. I would imagine this to be lighter still. Had I not got the 6 string recently, I probably would have bought this as I'm not too far from Chelmsford. Good luck with the sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the comments, they are the most comfortable basses I have ever played and perfectly lightweight and balanced whilst still feeling substantial.
