Thinking about it now, the thing I would like it for is maybe a practice instrument for late at night. I'd have to figure out how to isolate it from the floor. Stuffing the F-holes should be pretty effective since the body is so thin.
I would say that that bass is probably better than most EUBs for that purpose IMO. The body has the right width so you don't need any funky armrests, and a good weight so it doesn't torque on you like an EUB would every time you pluck a string. You get a real neck joint as a point of reference for thumb position. Etc. etc.
For the purposes I'm talking about only something like an Alter-Ego or Yamaha Silent bass would be better - since is they mock body parts that are more realistic than the average EUB.
Could I ask you to stuff the f-holes with a towel or two and see how loud the bass gets?
I suppose if you were serious about it, you could fill it with spray foam.
