Talk me out of this

It is an Eminence Portable Bass made by the Edward Lutherie INC.
Asking $1199 negotiable.
I don’t need it but it’s more tempting than an easy red head.

Fuck that.
Piece of shit anorexic upright.
Buy a full size one at least.
You can get a nice Ubass for a quarter of that price.

Did it work?

I know what shop that's in...... ;)

I'd talk you out of it but I can't find a logistical way to do so. Just offer Luis 1000$ cash and walk home happy :thumb:

I was going to talk with Mat or steve when Eric's not around and offer $900.

been a customer since Eric and Luis first started so it's worth a shot.

It is worth a shot, you never know what kind of deal they will make with you especially if you've been a long time customer. They always take care of me in there. We've (the band) dropped a couple grand with them the past couple months in upgrading every bodies rigs, and every time we go back the discounts get bigger. :yay:

Dunno about that. The NXT is the stripped down version; the CR series is probably a serious contender with the Eminence, but the NS stuff doesn't have an acoustic body (albeit a small one) for that more "authentic" sound.
