keep at it adam, you have a great ear so im sure you will be getting a great sound in no time :-)
cheers Geoff

nooooo! this bass is amazing and joes a TOP bloke/bassist! ....if only i had 2k!

ive had loads of RSI problems but if you have a well set up double bass and a great tutor then you should be fine. Ive found that its easier on double to keep your wrists straight than on electric.
If you have the time to practice, get stuck in!

Just a thought, im a student at the RNCM in manchester and could meet any serious potential buyers there on BASS DAY if anyone wants to try this out?

Yeh i got it for a great price so im happy to sell it on. It is LOADs better than anything you could get elsewhere for this money, i just dont use it and am really broke.

Ive also had a few PMs about postage. Im not intrested in finding packing that would be suitable and am sure it would cost loads to send/insure something this size......

can offer free cup of tea in manchester though :-)

hey chipps, you are wecome to come and have a go if you fancy it...good luck with the fretless...



[quote name='Chipps' post='646875' date='Nov 6 2009, 12:24 AM']Hmm... looks nice.
I've only just started taking fretless er, sideways (for want of a better word) bass lessons, so I'm probably going to be out of my depth if I start messing around with uprights, aren't I?

I'm near Manchester too, which makes it even more tempting. I may actually have enough guitars and basses for the moment... Oh, I really shouldn't keep coming on this forum, it's all far too tempting [/quote]

thanks Dougal, you are a legend :-)
Im still loving the bass, but bank account is not looking so good :-)
cheers Geoff

hey steve, it sounds great, honestly as good as any other EUB ive tried, im afraid i dont have any of me playing it. Hope lifes good, cheers Geoff

Hi, guys im selling my Rare Japanese atelier z guitar works eub. This is a quality, well built Electric Upright Double bass with a maple neck and ebony fingerboard with a quality Atelier z pickup. The bass electronics are passive with vol and tone controls. It also has quality maple adjustable bridge. It also has an ajustable/detachable bar to obtain correct playing position and can be played seated or standing. This comes off and fits in the well made soft case with bass for compact transport. It is well set up and easy to play. The bridge profile is flatter than usual classical set up but arco is still possible and its really comfy for pizz....

This is a great opportunity to buy a cheap EUB which is MUCH better quality than the palatino upright basses which are now common, the build quality is much better!

comes with well made soft case and is set up with piastro obligato strings which have had light use. The bass is in great condition with only very minor marks and no cracks......

You are welcome to come and try the bass before commiting to a sale.

For more details see website: however i belive the pickups on this model are not identical

my bass often has a few pencil marks for the g string thumb position G and D...Dont like looking at the lower positions though as it ruins hand positon etc... when you turn your head/body....

neil innes in leeds has one keith, give me a bell if you dont have his details. He love his i think. cheers geoff

hi guys, all gone now. on their way to new owners! many thanks Geoff

i know what you guys mean about the high retail price. i bought mine, for a good price from the Gallery 1 year ago and love it. As soon as i played it i knew i would buy it. sound, finish, set up etc....all amazing and worth paying for if you find the right one. im really into getting a bargain second hand but knew that the bass i found was so good it was worth paying for. Toasted is also a very lucky man, his sadowsky is really special....as is his celinder :-)
Best advice is to play one first.......

both ....they are both really new so will sound great, i liked them both....spiros seemed harder work due to tension but i really enjoyed the classic sound they have.........obligatos were kinder under the bow....but i like the attack of spios....
