Is this a Prosebass EUB?

[basskit_case]

Purchased this via eBay a couple of weeks ago, it is a mini upright bass mounted on a tripod. The guy selling it suggested it was a Prosebass, or at least the person he bought it off had suggested that to him!

I have owned a Prosebass in the past and this does look similar in style and finish.

With Paul being a regualar on this forum, just wondered if it had belonged to anybody on here, or even if it is actually a Prosebass?

Thanks

That was a 24"(?, could be smaller) fretless bass Paul (Prosebass) made out of left over odds and sods. The neck is from a guitar, not bass, that was chopped down and converted to fretless. The pickup is from a guitar too, telecaster perhaps. I owned this for a while, and it was a fun little thing to play, it just never got finished properly. I sold it on on eBay as it wasn't getting used, and I suggested that it could be mounted onto a stand to make a small and unique EUB hybrid instrument. Looks like the buyer did just that

PS... I live close to Paul and he's not building as much now as he's landed a full-time job. Last time I saw him, he was busy doing lots of hours, and just occasionally dipping his toe into the forums to keep up to speed on things. PM him if you want more info on the bass, I'm sure he won't mind.

Thanks for the update, nice to know that it originated from this forum.

Whilst I know it is not an EUB, it has got a great sound to it, more authentic than the ashbory and UBass basses in my humble opinion.

I bought a bass from Paul on here last year, he really puts together great quality sounding basses, I dont know how he does it for the price.

Thanks
