Faithless Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 (edited) First of all, to be honest, I thought I'll never enter this forum section, literally... But, after playing my tutor's fretless, and spotting my friend's advert selling his stuff for cents, I thought, I'd give it a go.. Just to be clear, my new EUB isn't Stagg or whatever - it was made by one local bass luthier, here, in Lithuania. Now, what I mean by [i]making[/i], he took a neck from old Chezch double bass (Strunal, possibly..), and modified it a bit. My new bass specs are (those, that I know..): maple body, installed piezo, active electronics (2band EQ). It sounds pretty cool, I couldn't tell much difference from a, emmm, [i]proper [/i]upright bass.. The thing is, I don't know if my bass need any tech tweaking, but, I hope, my tutor will help here.. In the end, it's Fun But, ok ok, I know, if there's no pics - there's no bass I'll take a camera to my studio, promise.. Faith [b]PICS!!![/b] Sorry for the look quality, Im not good, when it comes to photography and cameras stuff..

BassBus Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 That's a great looking bass. How does it sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvetkevorkian Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Mmm, very nice. What's the scale length? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithless Posted November 3, 2009 Author Share Posted November 3, 2009 Well.. It sounds, more or less, like double bass Dah, I must admit, I can't comment on the sound that much, as I'm not keen (yet?) on upright bass' sounds and stuff.. Actually, you can dial a bunch of tones, cuz my EUB has active 2band eq, as I've mentioned before. I'm not sure about it's scale, I'll try to dig it out - once again, my knowledge about it is very poor, apologies.. Faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvetkevorkian Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 No worries, I was just curious. Looking at the pics, if its a neck from a "proper" DB then it's probably got a DB scale length (40" give or take a few) rather than being just a vertical fretless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithless Posted November 3, 2009 Author Share Posted November 3, 2009 Yep, neck's from a [i]proper [/i]DB, mate, so, you're probably right about scale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mateybass Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 The radius looks a bit shallow, has the fingerboard been reworked? Good looking bass though, we just need some sound clips Love Lithuania... beautiful country. I played there in 2008 in Visaginas and I was on the telly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scojack Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Hello Faith, Interesting design, did it start off with pickups? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithless Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Hey, Scojack, You meant those 'images' of sorta P pickups? That was probably just an idea or something like that, but this bass was 'born' with piezo,actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
