I've had this for 2 years, never left my house. Haven't ever had time to learn. Since work is so slow, I have to sell. Sounds so pretty, it's a pain right through my heart. Comes with the case, bags for the legs, etc. Standard Emmons setup, I believe, straight from Fessenden. Price dropped from $270...

It's beautiful, great tone and growl, but I don't use it much. For sale for $1200, or interesting trades considered. Frankly - more interested in the trade side. If anyone has a nice fretless bass, I'm listening.

Thanks,
Geoff

Alan, I'm no authority, but I did look for a long time. Based on what I've seen on eBay and elsewhere, if you got a complete one in good working order, not beat up for $600 - $700 that would be a pretty good price. Wish I had bought last year. $400 - $500 would have gotten a great New Yorker.

Geoff

Tom,

I just looked at your steels. That's some of the nicest workmanship and design I've ever seen anywhere. Absolutely beautiful!

Geoff

John, Thanks so much for the post. I would love to take you up on the VCR tape offer. Unfortunately, I'm probably the one person on the planet without a VCR! I can only play a digital document. The info you gave me right here is huge. I can start playing around with this right away. You've probably ...

John, then I will have to do just that! I already have strings coming from b0b...

Thanks,
Geoff

Tuned it to an E tuning with some strings I didn't know I had. Ran it through the Nashviile 122. When I heard it, thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Wow, I thought, you atheists are missing out! This thing sounds incredible. Tone so thick you could spread it on bread. Put some pics up. http://bb.s...

Thanks for all the help, guys. I'll probably try a C Diatonic to start a la Jerry Byrd, see how that works and then try the tunings you guys gave me as well. I'll post a couple of pics when I get the chance.

Geoff

I'll be playing mostly Jimmy Rogers, some Uncle Dave Macon, bunch of fiddle tunes mainly. Most of this we play in D or G.

...and I'm up in the air as to what to get for strings - I'd like to do a D tuning. This thing has just incredible thick, rich tone. Could anybody offer me some guidance on getting strings for this guitar? The ones on there were detuned for shipping, so I can't really tell what they were, and they'r...

Thanks to all,

Going to hold on to this one for a couple of weeks or so. Thanks for all the interest,

Geoff

Ricky, I sent you an email. Thanks, Geoff

Those are so beautiful.I love the sound. It will make someone very happy. If I tried to play that, my brain, small as it is, would explode.

Geoff

Michael, will do.

Geoff

Rick,

I'll snap some tonight and post them. I'll email them to you as well.

Thanks,
Geoff

I have a late 80's Melobar 6 string. White body, nice shape. Couple of chips here and there, some kind of small tan stain on the back of the neck - like whatever the stand was lined with rubbed off. I love the sound and it's a complete gas to play, but my back doesn't love me playing it anymore. I'd...
