Just wondering if you ever got any more info on this one, or found the missing bass? I certainly hope so.

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

Apologies if this doesn't help much @BassInMyFace but perhaps check out sports gear cases on eBay, I bought - IIRC - a hard case for golf clubs for my old Yammie SLB 200 a few years back at about 10% of the cost of a similar case from a music gear supplier. Also there are a few drum/mic-stand cases that will also do the job that can also be picked up at low cost used.

 

Sorry to hear about your gear, just bumped into my neighbour who had all his professional GPS gear (a lot of it) stolen from his property last night, like you it's not just the insult of the theft itself, it's the threat to livelihood as well  

this is very interesting. Had not considered other 2nd hand options. top tip, cheers

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!!

No phantom power and the a/b will either give a single instrument the option of EQ bypassed or eq engaged - having two instruments plugged in one will not have access to the eq the other will (example having an active bass into the eq bypassed channel and the passive bass into the EQ channel). That’s likely obvious 😀 all other features are ‘actively on’ so if you have a compressor in the always on loop it remains in the path irrespective of channel

A or B. You can’t have two separate signals ‘programmed’ to different outputs. 

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?

Not sure it matters as the outcome is the same. EUBs are an incredibly niche thing to sell, so if we can amplify this through the community it’s important to do so.

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.

Do you think the thieves were after the van or your gear?

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........

A student had one with some expensive DB strings. I honestly cannot remember what they were. But the tone was like melted chocolate. In a good way.

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?

Have you seen the price of a new one lately!

 

Should come with gig bag, or did you wear it out?

yep case is included when i get round to fishing it out the attic!

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
