jsixties Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 (edited) This coveted Neuser Courage 5 is a handmade 34" boutique beauty handmade by the renowned Czech luthier Robert Neuser. Considered as one of the best sounding and manufactured 5 strings basses ever done in Europe in every NAMM show always have been amongst the most valued basses by the professionals. Neck-thru with a 7-piece for maximum stability/ 2 octave maple neck, a jet-black ebony fingerboard with Neuser Deluxe v-inlays and body wings of alder with a truly beautiful flame maple. This is one of the first ever made with american Bartolini electronics and a 3 positions MID selector. 18 volts preamp for a great headroom. The hardware is gold-plated high-end Gotoh. The nut is brass, indestructible. The frets are normal Jumbo frets. [url="http://www.neuserbasses.com/courage.html"]http://www.neuserbasses.com/courage.html[/url] Incredible playing comfort, terrific sound and dynamics and superbly manufactured, a bass I heartily recommend if you are looking for a high end 5 strings (not my business anymore so I'm back to the classic 4 strings). European craftmanship at its best. Truly well balanced and extremely comfortable to carry, it is very light as well. It has a beautiful punchy, fat, round and sustaining sound that can be tweaked quite a lot. Specially the bridge pickup is to die for. I really can't think of anything this bass couldn't do. It's beautiful, extremely comfortable, and has a range of great sounds.

Frets are inmaculate and the setup is perfect with a nice comfortable low action, absolutely no issues of any kind. Comes with fresh Ken Smith Compressor strings, adjusting tools and a brand new deluxe harcase made specifically for this bass.

Doddy Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Ooohhhh. You don't see many of these on the second hand market. I remember seeing Paul Jackson playing a Neuser Cloudburst (I think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsixties Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) Exactly Doddy, Paul Jackson plays a Cloudburst and two Courage. These basses are absolutely perfect, hope any 5 strings player take advantage of this piece. Is for sale/trade in talkbass too but my aim is complete the transaction in Europe: [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=642000&highlight=neuser"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.p...ighlight=neuser[/url] Edited March 27, 2010 by jsixties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
