SOLD - Derek High 5 String EUB £1250 Bristol

[greenolive]

Hi ,

With heavy heart due to some wrist issues which are making 5 string upright uncomfortable for me 😞.

Up for sale a 5 string eub built by Derek High , top notch build quality & woods throughout ( flame maple , ebony ).

Magnetic pickup & piezo pickups by Wilson in Denmark , there is a volume control for each on the back & a side mounted jack input.

Strung E-C & String length of 107cm.

Comes with custom padded bag & collapsible stand.

Its been a pleasure owning this for the last year and it needs to be played more often.

Postage is not an option , it can be picked up or meet up can be arranged.

Any prospective buyer would need to try it no doubt , so may be better after lockdown.

Here are the pictures:-

This is an incredible deal. Derek High is a top luthier.

Thanks , it’s been great to play and I agree.

Just passing it on for the same deal I got it for , and would be not for sale if not for my wrist issues.

That looks like all the right things are in all the right places. Very nice indeed.

Derek builds double basses for famous orchestral players and soloist in the 20000€+ range.

True ,  Božo Paradžik plays a Derek High bass and many other talented players.

I’ll give it another week and will withdraw it & try a lighter tension setup.

Back to a still very reasonable £1250 😉

10 years ago I could have told you what the pickup was. I am slipping!

Still for sale? I'm interested.
