    Now on eBay with an opening price of £600. Would prefer to sell here though...

    Bob Gollihur's site has a huge amount of advice on all things upright. His product descriptions are really detailed, and he has this to say about the WAV 4 strings: [i]The stock strings are a light gauge steel that serve as a reasonably decent hybrid sort of sound, but the instrument responds well and can handle most standard 3/4 size upright bass strings. I and others report good success with strings such as the Pirastro Obligatos, which are a popular, heavier gauge upright bass string that delivers a more traditional sound, with less sustain and more body than the stock strings. Keep in mind, however, that the tuning machines are similar to bass guitar tuners, so very heavy gauge strings (like the Eurosonics) typically cannot be accommodated. However, since the pickups are piezo-based, which sense vibration, most any 3/4 size upright bass string can be a candidate. They designed the rear control cover that allows you route the excess string around the bottom of the bass and anchor them in keyholes. [/i] Just the info you need methinks?! Cheers Gareth

    Nice bass btw, the original Curbows are incredible instruments.

    [quote name='samkeen' post='611258' date='Sep 28 2009, 09:00 PM']I really need to build up my fretless skills![/quote] Why not get it defretted!?

    [quote name='TheRev' post='610625' date='Sep 28 2009, 10:16 AM']My eminence has side position markers (they're an optional extra), are you buying yours new?[/quote] No, it's "pre loved".

    I actually have pretty good intonation on fretless bass. I hardly ever look at the dots unless I'm making a big jump, so maybe I'll just jump right in!
  16. franzbassist
    Bump for a price drop to £900.
  17. franzbassist
    The tuner idea is another great suggestion! And BB, it's an Eminence...
  18. franzbassist
    Now [i]that[/i] is actually a cunning plan! It'll certainly save me some extra outlay, so I'll try that and see how it goes. Cheers for the suggestion BBN.

    Seriously contemplating an EUB, but the one I want comes without any dots or lines on the fingerboard edge. Anyone know where in (ideally) Surrey/Hampshire could I get these added? Gareth
  20. franzbassist
    Bless you Phil. I think you know I'll have all the fretless tones I could possibly want covered in the near future though....
  21. franzbassist
    Bump for interesting trades of equivalent value.
  22. franzbassist
    I [b]so[/b] want this back! It's such a beautiful bass and plays really well; best passive fretless I've ever used.
  23. franzbassist
    No jazz cats wanting to solo on this beauty?

    [b][color="#FF0000"]GONE[/color][/b] Fantastic piccolo bass from Joe Veillette's workshop in Woodstock! This bass weighs just 7lbs and is 26.1" scale. It was designed to be strung BEAD or EADG with nylon strings (specifically, the bottom four from the La Bella BG-10 set) tuned an octave higher than a normal bass guitar. Pickup is an NB Ducer 4000 from Japan with a D-Tar Timberline 18 volt Preamp. Controls are a simple Volume and Tone. Poplar body with a quilted maple top, wenge/ebony bridge and wenge fingerboard on, I assume, a maple neck. It's in very good condition, with just two tiny nicks on the headstock and one on the top. Chrome Gotoh tuners and Dunlop straplocks. The package is rounded out by a Levys gigbag. Cheers Gareth

    I'm now gigging that day so won't be able to attend
