flunkie Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Just wanted to share my outrageous levels of excitement at having a new bass! After years of not being able to play due to a bad left-arm injury, I've been back playing for two years now. Just passed an audition to join a popular local covers band and decided that - because of the volume of gigs they play (over 60 per year!) - I'd need a lighter bass than my Ibanez (to avoid aggravating my arm injury again!). So, after much research, I've bought an Elrick Expat Evo 4, at 7lb 5oz. It sounds AWESOME, if the action was any lower, the strings would be inside the fretboard, and it's light! Really light! Did I mention, it sounds awesome! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Do remember to replace the Trace-Elliott 4x10 and the 50lb valve amp while you're at it ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flunkie Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Thanks everyone :-) Really excited about the bass and the band. Am just waiting for a Markbass LMIII to arrive as a spare (or possibly main) amp. New toys!! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiliwailer Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 That's great, enjoy the gigs! I'm a convert to light basses with decent wood too, I recently got 7.5lb Fender with a swamp ash body, no going back now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
