| | | | It seems like a real cool idea. It's the first retail EUB for under $1000. I've read some info on it and this is what I know about the bass:
-It will be petite size
-The designer of this bass said it was inspired from his own home-made EUB
-It has a ball at the end of its endpin for maximum adjustability (if that's a word)
That's what I got anyway. |

| | | | i am on my second Ergo. My first was a solid purpleheart 5 string. The new one is a mahogany 4 string.. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2002 Location: Newcastle - Australia | | Those ergo's look nice..pretty much what im looking for,a walnut, rosewood or mahogany 4 string, how are they on a stand? how are they tonally? do they sound like a normal upright?
we had an upright at my old school,. it was fun to pley, except that it was setup for bow style and the strings probably hadnt been changed since the 60's when they got it.
i found conklin made a EUB, it looks pretty nice http://www.conklinguitars.com/meuhome.html

| | | | This one sounds very open and upright-like. The thing I really like about them is they have a 41.5" scale and the neck feels like a double bass neck instead of like a fretless bass guitar on a stick.
He is also working on an electric cello for me. |

Is your Ergo dead quiet by itself? I need something super quiet for playing late at night. I still get complaints from my neighbors about my bass after I've put a practice mute on and muffled my strings by weaving a rag between them. I guess they can still hear the thump or something. Totally sucko!
Lemme know... thanks.

| | | | Yes, it is very very quiet but due to the mahogany it is very resonant and has good sustain.
It is a perfect practice bass. I keep it in my office it is so quiet. |  | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
