New Chinese EUB's on Evilbay...

[derrenleepoole]

Have spotted these new EUB models on eBay and thought I'd share them. The seller is 'tdzpf' and it seems like these are a batch of new products slowly filtering into the market from China, cheap too. No idea if there any good mind, but some look really nice - some of the photos do look like prototype shots:





I particularly like the look of this one, even though it's not finished

Seconded .... I suppose it's too much to hope that body is chambered ?

always wanted to try an eub may have to give this one a shot! When will they be available?

That top one looks like it might be a 5 string

The Beatle basses look like they're nicely done ... not so sure about these "pucker" (folding ?) basses with the hinge in the middle though ... have my doubts about how solid the connection is between the hinged parts.

Wouldn't the strings snap if folded??

Bizarre....

[derrenleepoole]

I've been watching this builder for a while, and the folding basses are odd. These other models seem newer, and I think he finishes them to order. I'm guessing that the quality will be comparable to that of a Stagg and Palatino EUB but at a much better price point even with import duty. I'd certainly be interested in the second model. I had a Palatino, and is was a good bass to modify, even if the initial cost was quite pricey. This could make a good modding bass in this regard?

Not a lot of info about pickups/electronics...

[derrenleepoole]

I imagine it's going to be what you get in a Stagg, Palatino or similar. If that's the case, then it's quite a cost effective thing to mod them without spending a fortune. Mind you, I did think the Stagg sounded okay as stock - so what do I know

Oooh nifty. I quite like that.

There's no eBay Feedback on the basses yet.

No doubt someone will take the risk of ordering one and write something be it good or bad.

They look reasonably okay.
