For sale is my Harley Benton Electric Upright Bass. EUB 500

I've had it for a few years now and found it very useful when practisisng late at night or early morning. However, I need to purchase some recording equipment so, unfortunately it will have to go.

Its only ever been used at home and as I said, it is fantastic for practising quietly with headphones or at low volume through an amp.

It comes with an adjustable bridge, adjustable endpin and is in great condition but does have a few minor bumps and scrapes.

I've also added a few custom changes to the bass as recommended by other users on the Internet, for example this website is quite useful:

My mods'

Foam Rubber added to the bridge to stop any nasty sounding harmonics from certain notes.

Pipe Foam added to the support bar( to make it more comfortable)
