Might have a google ........

Needs another string, do fiver asats exist?

That looks a nice bass to me, If it had been nearer to me I might of had to have an arguement with the wife about credit cards etc!

It really is in the fingers you know and his happen to be very able ones!

It sure looks like our man I'd say?

As it stands I am feeling good about the Gedo bass with the extra bits added but I will have another good search for a used bass before buying once I have the money ready, you just know something perfect and local will crop up the day after I order the Gedo!

Haha tricky ain't it! If a used one came up at the right time that I knew was a good one I'd take it but how would I know? I'm hooping with an ebony board, adjustable bridge and spirocore strings a decent Luthier should be able to make it playable even if the sound is little lacking.

Well its not about the EUB really , I have hooks in my little practice room which have a jazz, 2 Ray 5s and, 2 Ray4s on at the moment, I have an acoustic bass in the bedroom up the corner where I am hoping to fit the DB, to do that I want to sell the black pre EB Ray to free up a hook to hang the acoustic bass from, I might sell my Jazz bass too at some point and have a guitar hanging up that currently lives in the cupboard, thats it then no more changes ever,, well maybe....

I wont mate, pie first, basses later see you in a bit then.

OH dear I have emailed Gedo and they can do me a nice deal on the half carved in antique brown with an adjustable bridge fitted and fitted with Spirocore weichs, I am sure that would make a great first upright wouldn't it? I am not going to be the next virtuoso and at this stage I am still unsure of the amount of movement I am going to recover after breaking my wrist (the thing that got me started on uprights really). Looks like the black pre EB is going unless I can raise the funds from else where, but that is not what the wife has agreed to anyway

Got a message back already and the price is good! Everything I have asked for too and only took 10 mins for a reply, what a great customer service! OK looks like I need to get the pre EB sold then

Still dont know how to embed do I?

basschat gas you know you love it! If you get an EUB you will want a DB, everybody does, I was told the same and knew it would be true, didnt even fight it!

Bring on the pie night Dude, as you can see I home early! Hee Hee. Bloody Alistair and his gorgeous Gedo bass

I may of just emailed Gedo about a half carved bass upgraded with an adjustable bridge and fitted with Spirocore weichs! I 100% blame you Alistair

Mine just had a piece of aluminium foil stuff that had been thrown at it from a few metres away! nothing behind the preamp bit at all, it is quite satisfying once its done and mine is silent even at gig volume under strip lights etc

Cheers

Can't argue at that can you? I should have a few quid left over from my pre eb ray for a pickup system too.

How much extra was the adjustable bridge if you don't mind me asking? Adjustable bridge and an ebony board are top of my list as I presume with those features a decent setup including a board shoot would be possible, playable needs to be put before the sound by the looks of things.
