When I used to EUB, this is what I had. This is the bomb.

Seriously wonderful instrument (I got a go on Owen's once).

 

Not a double bass .... But something of its own that is rather special. 

 

I'd love it but with umpteen e basses and a dB I just know it wouldn't get used.

[Owen]

A student had one with some expensive DB strings. I honestly cannot remember what they were. But the tone was like melted chocolate. In a good way.

That's interesting, I have this exact model and have never considered trying out some full scale DB strings on it. Wonder what they were?

[Owen]

I honestly could not tell you, but I used Innovation Honeys on mine and it was great, great and great. Obviously without the metal core I lost the magnetic pickup option, but it did not matter.
