sunfish Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) A rare opportunity to own a Bolin NS 5 String Bass for £875 This is a truly beautiful bass I got in a trade recently. I had good intentions of returning to 5 string playing but it isn’t happening and I am now ogling another bass on here - so here goes. The design is as a result of collaboration between Ned Steinberger and luthier John Bolin and built by Bolin in Idaho USA. This is a stunning instrument in very good condition. There is a ding on the lower bout which is difficult to see when playing. Other than that it is really pretty instrument that plays like a dream and light weight. 35in scale Graphite nut Slotted headstock The body is Alder with quilted maple top With an ebony fingerboard Fishman piezo under each string. 18V preamp Light weight With Hard case I’m in Malvern, Worcestershire Happy to meet up half way within reason Edited April 14, 2019 by sunfish PRICE REDUCED 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikay Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I love the elegant simplicity of this bass. Do you have any sound demos, I can't find anything on youtube? What is the exact weight? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunfish Posted March 29, 2019 Author Share Posted March 29, 2019 Hi The bass weights 8lbs. I've attempted to record the bass plugged into a TC Electronic combo with the eq set completely flat so you can hear the instrument itself using my Zoom H2 recorder The noise at the start is me switching the recorder on! Apologies for the crap playing! Thanks for the questions Bolin 5 String.MP3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
