    No sign of anything. Bizarre. I guess it's just say in a lock up gathering dust

    Hi all. You may have seen my recent post detailing all the gear I had stolen recently. Bad times. Realise now that even if I replace by NS design CR5M I lost my custom flight case for it too. Been in touch with flightcase warehouse and swan cases who have quoted 13 weeks and 35 working days respectively. I have Euro shows booked in about 4 weeks Does anyone here have a roughly suitable flightcase (dimensions are 140x25x25 but can be padded out if bigger) they arent using or would be willing to hire out? maybe its gathering dust in the shed or the loft and you wouldn't miss it for a few weeks this summer? Happy to come pick up and pay for the rental. It's a long shot but if anyone can help you would be an absolute life saver!!

    Thanks mate, that's really helpful. Found the manual pretty impenetrable

    Couple questions for you. Checked the manufacturer website but no joy. Can the unit run off phantom power thru DI? Also, in terms of the A/B switch, is this routed to the DI output signal or just the jack output? If its too the DI is there anyway to maintain instrument A signal to DI while playing B through the jack out?

    Thanks, would really appreciate that. My concern is that they won't even know what it is to try and sell it. Could be mislabelled on a classified and i won't have any chance of seeing it. If you folks here keep it in the back of your mind, maybe we can catch where they try and flog it.

    think it was the van they wanted. Even though its nothing special, apparently older transits are super easy to nick. I was stupid enough to leave my gear in the van simply because we got home late and couldn't be bothered to unload. That's an expensive penalty for being lazy :(

    Hi folks. Had my van stolen with my NS EUB in the back. Happened yesterday morning in Birmingham. The bass has non-stock black strings (jazzicato) on 4 of 5 strings (EADG). Seeing as it's quite a niche instrument I hope there's a chance it comes up for sale somewhere. if you could keep an eye out I would be super grateful. Bass was in full size flight case. (Also Moog sub 25 stolen with sansamp programmable bass DI). I'm pretty devastated and summer of gigs is fast approaching........

    That's interesting, I have this exact model and have never considered trying out some full scale DB strings on it. Wonder what they were?

    NXT 4 EUB Ned Steinberger with upgrades. I have owned this beauty from new for I guess 8 or so years? She was a trusty workhorse for gigs all over the world and never let me down. I'm not an expert on the model line up but I believe this model was an upgrade/replacement for the wav4. It has the Polar pickup switch to flip between arco and pizz and a single tone knob. Think they have since replaced (or augmented) with the NXT4a model which is designed to sound more "authentic" to an acoustic. Happily, I made all the upgrades to this model before they released the A model. It has the "traditional" strings on it which are deader and less sustained and the upgraded pro tripod. (i'll chuck in a set of the regular string too if you like it brighter) I had the standard fail once on stage where the leg literally crumbled. Highly recommend the pro stand instead. i set the action fairly high so this unit really can sound very traditional. All the character of an acoustic with obviously none of the logistical and feedback concerns. For loud stages it was a godsend. It looks great too, that amber burst is really really nice hope you agree. Very playable, quicker than acoustic so your lines can be a bit more complex but it has the weight and authority behind each note for traditional lines too. A really really nice instrument to dig into and improve your upright chops. We played ALOT of shows together so there are signs of wear here and there. One small chip mid way on the neck has breached the lacquer but it doesnt fall under the left hand so never bothered me. Few minor lumps and bumps are noticeable but if you have ever played a vintage upright, it really wont be an issue. Bit of marking on the ebony fingerboard towards the bottom which I've tried to highlight in pics, can't see from a distance and if you are playing into the 3rd octave you're a braver man than me!!! Its by no means pristine but definitely not poor condition. I would say a solid 7 out of 10. Obvs all features are fully working and the sound and playability is unaffected. Welcome anyone to come and have a test, you won't be disappointed. I have switched to CR5M now for that low B so seems a shame for this lovely instrument to sit gathering dust. It really is a great intro to upright playing if you're moving from electric (those dot markers really do help!) or for the upright player who is sick of poor stage sound- your troubles are over with this..... Too big and fragile for postage. Won't consider at all, pick up only from Birmingham. Original case included
