## Description

Product Description          By popular demand, the 5 String version of our great sounding EBR3-N4. All of the tone, playability, and great looks for the 5 String player.             From the Manufacturer          Finally, an acoustic bass that you can actually hear without plugging it in. The side port on the top projects the deep tones from the body directly to the player, while the additional front port shoots the low frequencies towards the audience. The mids and highs dance off of the front soundboard for a sound that has to be heard to be believed. When plugged in, it keeps the same natural tone with much less feedback than other acoustic electric basses. Plays easy and looks great! The five-string EBR3-N5 adds a low B string to the already popular EBR3-N4.    Boulder Creek Solitaire Series The Solitaire Series uses the same "SBS" bracing system as the Stage and Studio Series guitars. These basses were designed for the player, not the audience. Rather than a front port to project the sound outward, the Solitaire features a port on the top side of the guitar to direct the sound to the player. Since many players spend a lot of time playing with just themselves and their guitar, the Solitaire is the perfect choice for your second guitar.  There were some interesting results when the first Solitaire samples arrived. Even though the guitars were designed for the player and not the audience, the front sound projection was incredible. Since the soundboard increased in size due to not cutting a hole in the front, it produced more treble, midrange, and overall volume. The sound port on the top of the guitar produced enhanced low range frequencies which could be heard all around the room as low frequencies are omni-directional. In other words, this guitar sounds incredible out front also! When partnered with the AB4-T Preamp system, it makes the perfect guitar for stage, professional recording, and home studio applications. With the Solitaire's great playability and tone, it's the perfect choice for any working musician. And it also looks pretty cool.  The BR3-N5 Selected high quality hardwoods are used in all Boulder Creek guitars, and this five-string, acoustic-electric bass is no exception. The BR3-N5's top is made of solid Red Cedar, and the body is solid Mahogany. Laminated sides provide maximum strength and stability.  The 34-inch scale neck features a rosewood fingerboard with 20 frets, and the body's cutaway provides access to the higher register.  High quality 18:1 tuning machines are standard on all models, providing solid, stable tuning.  AB4-T Active Balanced Preamp System All Boulder Creek Acoustic Electric Models are equipped with the new AB4-T Active Balanced Acoustic System with on-board tuner. The specially designed cable-type saddle transducer reduces the "clunk" that is inherent in traditional piezo pickup systems. The AB4-T System also feature both balanced and unbalanced outputs for maximum signal and noise reduction in both stage and studio applications.

    Great Bass but consider . . .
  

*by F***A on Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2014*

Some things you should consider before buying this bass.1. It is made of mostly mahogany with a cedar top - it is heavy.2.  It's a 5 string so the strings are a little closer together than a 4 string bass.3  I didn't find that it resonated any better than any other bass but it does project very well unplugged.4.  Finish is a satin type feel and craftsmanship is very nice.5.  Plays very well right out of the box - I didn't make any adjustments to mine and I'm very satisfied.6.  Built in tuner doesn't pick up the notes very well unless you use harmonics at the 12th fret to tune.7.  I looked everywhere and could not find a case for this instrument.8.  I didn't find the side port as impressive as the ads made it sound - actually most of the sound you hear is from the top. The  side port just isn't that functional although it may contribute to some of the sound.9.  Great price - I don't think you can find an acoustic of this quality in this price range that's comparable to the BC Bass.10.  I've been playing guitar and bass for over 38 years and would recommend this bass to anyone - it's very satisfying to play.

    Boulder Creek EBR-N3-N5
  

*by B***M on Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2013*

I bought this bass and liked the sound a lot,but returned the bass and bought a Breedlove.I liked the sound of the Breedlove better.The Breedlove has a nice preamp and also comes with a case.This BC bass you have to pay extra for the case.The Breedlove was also built in the US which the Boulder Creek was not.There were certain things I did not like about the BC and wrote to the company about it but I was given the impression that they were satisfied with what they had,and did not need any criticism from someone that has been playing bass for 45 years.That's when I sent it back!

    The design gives you a greater acoustic volume than anything else I've tried with a brilliant growl especially from the low "E"
  

*by T***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2016*

Playing in a bluegrass band and having tried for years to get an acoustic bass with volume and tone ( so I dont always have to take the ol' doghouse bass)  I finally found most of the solution. The design gives you a greater acoustic volume than anything else I've tried with a brilliant growl especially from the low "E". The side sound port gives you some personal monitoring which helps when youre in a large gathering (open mic and the like). Strings came with it are Labella bronze - never been much of a bronze fan because of finger noise but I'll run with them for a while.Its a big bass (and that helps the sound) but I had no problem with the body size or neck and I've got fairly large fingers. Found a genuine BC hard case on Amazon at a great price so I can look after it in my gigs and travels.Overall I'm very very pleased with both the quality and the responsiveness of the bass - another arm to my bow and I'm looking forward to doing some recording through the pick up and pre-amp. Thanks to the Guys at BC/Morgan Hill or a great instrument.
