I have one of the originals, and if this reissue is anything like the original the buyer is in for a hell of a ride - used correctly, and through a capable PA system that can handel it, it will transform your bottom end and the keyboard player will wonder what happened 

I bought one around 5 years ago - lovely basses = good playing investment

All great advice above - here's my two penny worth  - If you take a look online (say ebay or smile amazon) and search for antivibration mats, that some people use in flats under their washing machine/dishwasher, you'll find a great solution

That's right Downunderwonder - well spotted - its a Uke Bass - (see my previous post) - but an Eminence is

My Kala EUB has a pre already built into it - I leave the EQ flat, as on the combo amp, for monitoring purposes, then DI to house

Me too - wonderful basses made in Japan

I am a great fan of the Eminence EUB and bought an up-together, removeable neck version, second hand about 5 years ago. I took it to a string luthier who adjusted it to my requirements. He did shoot the fingerboard a little, new strings, slight bridge adjustment amongst a few other small things. The biggest impact tonally for me was placing a pre-amp before my combo - made a BIG difference. Plays wonderfully and often gets comments on how great it sounds.

I use an AER One for my Eminence EUB, Sadowsky and Uke Bass, also through a Bigshot - I leave the lead in the EUB all the time and mute when I need to swap between the Sadowsky and Uke. Put amp on an acoustic platform with the tilt up and you're ready to play

Pop into a Camera shop in your town and pickup a s/hand case as they always have people trading in cases - good quality and save you lots too

Is the strap still available?

Thanks

Another gem Mike - and they keep coming 😀

If i'm 100% open on this thread what i'm REALLY after is - a 4-string, reverse, all maple (AAA/AAAA) with a wonderful grain - tiger strip type - with the decal in a readable position - not upside down - probably expensive …..sound possible?

Ahhhh- he means Status as in the necks/Bass company - I wondered where he was going with that comment for a moment 😂

Letting us know the preferred specs would greatly aid in people giving advice

 

Si

Point taken Si - I didn't want to get to much into it at this stage as I was more interested to learn of supplies names in this country......but I still hear what you are saying, so - a maple neck/fingerboard reverse 4-string neck to fit a p-bass - any ideas?

Thanks Rich - I did see that on my first round of research but its not what i'm  really after

I want to purchase a new neck with certain specs and wondered if any of your lovely fellow Bass Players could recommend a British company I can purchase one from. I don't want one made (way too expensive for my needs) just a simple purchase. Thanks x

lovely Grain in the wood - would look great finished natural to show the grain off

I have a similar model in 3TSB with a great set of flats on - plays like a dream - love these models

+1 for this bass - great n easy players

Tempting - very tempting ...but i'm on the South Coast = GLWTS x

Fairfield Circuitry in Hull  https://fairfieldcircuitry.com.....Hot Rox in Nottingham also sell them

I remember these coming out some years ago and Pino using one

Beautiful - a work of Bass Art

I started playing my Kala U-bass in a band featuring a Violin (amongst other instruments) and when we play Reels, Gigs and Polkas it seems to fit in just right

Thanks very much for all you replies and what you say confirms my thoughts and actions of using angled jacket sockets  for my bass/pedal board - both ends - over the past 15-20 years.

Its just that I have heard different sides of the angled vs straight jack argument over the years from various local/national fellow musicians in my circle, and as I'm just about to pull the trigger on some 'very' expensive leads wanted to doubley. trippley -etc, etc make sure/confirm about the angled jack question through your opinions/experiences.

I have bought several  leads from OBBM in the past (all wonderful and great - and still are) before he packed up and moved (I even bought a UV70 Sadowsky from him at his home = wonderful instrument).

Many thanks for your replies - its a wonderful site x
