MrWalker Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) I am selling my rare 5-string Conklin MEU electric upright. The bass is in very good condition, very little playing wear. It has a 34" scale length. The pickup is a Underwood type pickup which runs through a Bartolini piezo buffer. There's a volume and passive tone control installed. Body is swamp ash, which is hollowed out, and the top is cherry. Fingerboard is macassar ebony I believe, and the neck is a 5-piece maple/purpleheart construction. It can be strapped on using the accompanying block on the back of the bass. I will include a wide and adjustable EBS strap. The bass come in a custom case. Shipping is additional. The bass is located in Norway. Link to Norwegian classified page w/photos: http://www.finn.no/finn/torget/annonse?finnkode=57388702 Edited May 14, 2015 by MrWalker
MrWalker Posted May 2, 2015 Author Posted May 2, 2015 Bump Seems the shipping from Norway to Europe is in the £55-65 range, FYI
MrWalker Posted May 3, 2015 Author Posted May 3, 2015 Sound sample? Don't have one right here, will see if I can get one recorded tomorrow. BTW, possible deal pending awaiting sorting some details out :-)
MrWalker Posted May 4, 2015 Author Posted May 4, 2015 Here's a quick sound sample I recorded today onto Soundcloud using my phone (so it's a crappy recording, really.... but it's what I can do at the moment). It's played through my Genz Benz Shuttle 6 with a 10" Eden cab. All dials are set at the 12 o'clock position on the amp. The treble is rolled off a little on the bass. Starting out by doing a scale on each string. Then just trying to capture the uprightish vibe of the bass. https://soundcloud.com/jon-inge/conklin-meu
MrWalker Posted May 7, 2015 Author Posted May 7, 2015 This bass is still available! Email for better sound clips.
simonlittle Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 That sounds fantastic. Great upright tone. Quite Eddie Gomez...
MrWalker Posted May 7, 2015 Author Posted May 7, 2015 Thanks, and I agree :-) in spite of being only 34" it does sound quite uprightish. The string and finner noise was picked up acoustically by the microphone on the phone. I did another recording in my Zoom H2 and it's much more quiet.
