	Eminence 4 String Electric Upright Bass with Detachable Neck   They are a fantastic bass that sound great, comfortable to play and so portable. Great for the professional and if you are an electric player considering playing EUB then the extra money they cost above the entry level EUB is well worth it. Also available in 5 string and fixed neck. They are my EUB of choice and that's why we import them. If you are ever in Adelaide on your travels please call and check them out and enjoy travel with your bass without problems. Fully acoustic body delivers real acoustic sound, even without amplification. Small body size allows the Eminence portable upright bass to fit into any conventional car, and even into the overhead lockers of most planes. Standard-size neck and scale length for familiar feel and playing ease. Fully adjustable bridge height allows personalized action adjustments. Professional electronics for plug and play versatility onstage or in the studio. Comes complete with deluxe padded bag and flight case. Please click the image for more info.		Price:

	St Antonio Slim Bass Outfit Deluxe This is for those who need something smaller but want the familiarity of the shape of a double bass. Thin and light and less prone to feedback problems on stage. It is also amazingly loud acoustically and has an ebony fingerboard, quality machine heads, and a great professional setup. Comes with a bag, bow, D'Addario Hybrid ,Pizz or Orchestral Strings and a Realist Pickup. A great set-up for a bassist where size, shape and portability are important.		Price:

	Riley/Palatino Electric Upright Bass The Riley Electric Upright Bass  is an entry level instrument. It has a chambered body of spruce and a vintage sunburst finish. The slim, maple neck and curved ebony fingerboard emulate an acoustic upright bass. The adjustable maple bridge rests on the Piezo pickup. The four geared tuners offer easy tuning. The lightweight endpin offers easy height adjustment with a positive locking mechanism. The bass is reasonably versatile with its active tone and volume controls and a headphone jack with preamp. A cloth carry bag with backpack straps is also included. These basses need the fingerboards carved to play comfortably without rattles and buzzes. They can also sound bad unless the bridge is set correctly. The Riley Electric Upright is adjusted in our workshop and comes ready to play with a low, effortless action that will appeal especially to electric bass players making the transition to an upright instrument. A reasonable beginners instrument but if you are serious get an Eminence. String length is 103 cm Good - Attractive price and with professional setup is easy to play. Bad - Heavy and awkward to balance when playing. The neck joint is vulnerable due to the weight of the instrument and has been a regular repair job in our workshop.		Price:
