Anyone out there had a crack at making an EUB.

I think a lot of us have had similar ideas. As for parts, you should try eBay, some sellers out there are a good source of stuff you'll need ie- endpin, machine heads, tailpieces etc... This guy is very reasonable:

Here is a link to someone's home build eub looks pretty good

Also this guy has some usfull info

Although he seems to have stopped building and started dealing in NS and other EUB as he says

"with the WAV4 at $895, and it's become hard to justify building one like I did when you can get into such a nice bass at such a low price"

Hmmm if only they were that price here

i'd love to see the results if you did give it a try, always wanted an EUB myself but can never justify the cost in case I dont like it

where the monkey can you get a WAV4 at $895!!!!
