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.

having just played one of the Ampeg Baby Basses yesterday, the last thing i'm going to try to do is talk you out of it.

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:

an NS NXT upright probably sounds better and costs the same

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:

That's a steal at that price; what's wrong with it?

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.
