SOLD Eminence portable upright bass
olihayhurst replied to olihayhurst's topic in EUBs & Double Basses For Sale
Sold very quickly for asking price. Thanks! -
Removable neck 4 string version with flight case. Good condition, just a couple of dings in the varnish round the edges. It is a great bass, really nice acoustic sound, perfect for practicing in a hotel room, sounds just like a double bass when plugged in. Perfect for travelling on planes, just pack it the golf club flight case and chuck it in the hold. I am only selling it because I have got into playing hired basses when abroad. Also easy for gigs on the train, squeezing in a car etc.

Yes, in my experience, the Yamaha is the closest feeling to a double bass apart from Mo's brilliant invention. I have an Eminence for sale which, I believe, is the closest sound-wise. It feels slightly more vertical than a real upright but the lack of knee contact is not a problem as the bar on the bottom of the end pin prevents any rotation. You get used to it quickly and it feels like a real acoustic instrument with proper (if slightly light) attack, worlds away from anything with a solid body. Contact me if you are interested. I will be posting an advert shortly. I am in Bedfordshire.
