BassBus Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) There aren't many EUBs that sound close to a double bass, with the exception of the Bespoke basses. But I've just come across Bunny Brunel's new EUB. No sign of prices but it sounds great. Anyone have any more info on it, or even experience.

franzbassist Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 Having tried out most of the EUBs out there, I'd go for a BSX Allegro over any other EUB. Quote

I'm suprised how few semi-acoustic EUB's there are, as with the Allegro, I would've thought a small bit of resonance room would help it sound less electric. Are there any makes other than BSX that do this? p.s. nice youtube demo vid WB. Quote

Mr Bassman Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 Oh dear, there's one [url="http://www.bbelectricuprightbass.com/custom.html"]here[/url] with Clarky's name on it Quote
Clarky Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 lol! Quite cool but, at $6,500 upwards it doesn't have my name on, thankfully!!!!! I will stick with my cheap rubber skull (£10) wedged on top of the scroll of my Ampeg Quote
