    SOLD NS Design CR5 EUB

    in EUBs & Double Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by muzzer

    [b]SOLD SOLD SOLD[/b] :P


    Hi all,
    I haven't been on here for a while, so apologies this post is to sell something.

    I have had my NS Design CR5 for about three years now, bought from it's orginal lady studio owner in the West Country.

    Unfortunately, I am looking to sell it, as I just don't think I'll ever be able to do this beautiful instrument any justice - me and uprights just don't seem to click. As hard as I try, I just don't have a feel for fretless basses.
    I hardly ever play the instrument now, and it seems a real shame to have it just sitting here.

    The bass has a few of small dings - one by the bass pot, one on the opposite edge by the bottom of the fretboard, a couple on the bottom and a light mark on the left edge of the fret board about halfway up. None of these affect the playablility of the instrument.
    Tha bass has been kept in a smoke and pet-free home, and is regularly cleaned.

    Included with the bass is the original adjustable stand and padded carry/gig bag, a bow and rosin, [b]plus[/b] the NS Design "Boomerang" strap system that allows the player to wear the bass a bit like a Chapman Stick!

    The strings are the OEM D'Addario ones specifically designed for this bass, and only have a few hours of playing on them. I also include the old strings that came with the bass. There is also the option of using acoustic upright bass strings.

    No trades thanks, I need the money at the moment more than another bass.
    Any more info or photos required, please ask.
    I am based on the central South Coast.

    Thanks for looking.
    Steve

    Very helpful, item as described, no fuss - he even kept it for me and delayed posting while I was working away!

    Highly recommended.

    [quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' post='619624' date='Oct 7 2009, 02:54 PM']Insist that he follow the instructions to a T, including the choice of materials and adhesives.[/quote]

    Absolutely, I learnt my lesson a while ago when attempting to build a Tuba24 - I thought I would make a few "shortcuts" but the less said about that the better I think :)

    For anyone else reading this post, I can't praise Bill's instructions enough. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING is covered.
    I would love have a go building a Jack, but currently have absolutely nowhere I can do any work apart from final assembly (at a push).

    Cheers

    Thanks for all the replies - I had thought of using my local B&Q/Wickes what-have-you but as mottlefeeder and DLP say

    [quote name='Mottlefeeder' post='619160' date='Oct 6 2009, 11:41 PM']I agree that you can pay the supplier to do straight cuts, but that still leaves you with the angled cuts where the horn starts and ends.[/quote]

    My woodworking is absolute cr@p and even I can do better than what happened the last time I asked B&Q to cut some angled panels :)

    Anyway, I have done some asking around locally and there is a furniture restorer close to me who will apparently do cabinet work so I'll give hime a go.

    Cheers
    Steve

    Edit: Oh, nice work by the way DLP, those cabs look excellent - I hope my one turns out half as good.
