How about a list of EUB's?

[iplayfreemusic]

alembic makes one. they're building me one with a coco bolo top, actually. kick ass.

You missed out the fantastic British EUB by Clifton (in London) as well as the playable but plasticcy Yamaha.

I play a Clifton - integrally fitted with a Realist pickup - with Roberto Pla's band & with Robin Jone's King Salsa & everyone in the band loves the look & the sound of the instrument(especially admired by the superb Cuban bass guitarist Elpidio Caicedo)

Here's an interesting link, provided by mrpc:

I thought I would add the Da Gamba to the list.
It is made in Poland by Krzysztof Kania.
It's a beautifully made instrument which has enough acoustic volume to practice with and the electric tone is very close to a full size double bass.

I have a slightly older model thatn the one pictured in the link so I don't have the shadow pickup. I use a revolution solo.
The combination of the instrument with this pickup has a very natural tone, I can't recommend it highly enough.

The Blen Bass

Beautiful basses.....I'm (hopefully) getting one of these babies in the new year.

The Blen bass can be heard on most Irish trad/folk recordings (in particular Mary Black) gorgeous tone.

I've just bought an Aussie-made Semi-Acoustic Double Bass, made to be played as an EUB. I love it!

+1 Bassix

The photos on his website don't do it justice (it looks much cooler in reality) and I've been getting good reviews on the sound at gigs.

[Carlo Tanori]

I've had my Carruthers SUB-1 4-string since the mid 90's. Still enjoying every minute of it.

The luthier seems to be based in Sao Paulo.

I just ordered a 5 string from Rob Wave, how do you like yours?
Can you comment on the fingerboard, I also got a Purpleheart fingerboard
and was wondering how it felt and sounded.
What kind of magnetic pickup did you have them put on it?

thanks,

Best I've tried and I've played most of them and owned an Alter Ego

Don't know if this has been covered, but have found these new (to me at least) EUB makers: CCI Mediums

Seems interesting...

[Robatboone]

Don't overlook www.ccimediums.com
I recently purchased my first CCI bass and have been playing it for a few weeks now. I've been playing upright for a long time, and find this one to be more powerful and even easier to play. The sound is AMAZING and the instrument has class- the design makes all other UEBs look like caveman construction. CCI Mediums is the company to watch.

[Jason Hollar]

Wow -- that Italian bass looks beautiful!

Here's a shout out to Dino at BSX -- www.bsxbass.com

[derrenleepoole]

just found this EUB model on eBay... folding no less

[powerbass]

my own home made eub. 34" scale length, fits in a BG gig bag, weighs just a few pounds minus the hardware.
