Hey, guys, this is my first thread in EUB....I think this topic would
be good get into record here at TB.

Just wondering what string height you guys are using right now on
your EUB:

String Height (measured at the end of the fingerboard):
Make and Model:
Is your EUB "bowable":

Thanks!

Azola BugBass with D'Addario Helicore Hybrid lights.

E=6mm
G=4mm

bowable, but I don't bow it.

Carruthers SUB-1 with Pirastro orchestrals (see profile for more details).

E = 9 mm
G = 7 mm

I'm not bowing either although it'd be possible.

I bow my BSX Allegro on gigs all the time. It sounds great. Using Weichs and the strings are as low as i can have them without buzzing.

E - 7mm
G - 6mm

Make and model - Homemade custom

and I've never tried bowing it

nscr5m(obviosly by the amount of posts here in the last few days)
arco and pizz equally
strings: d'addario helicore hybrids, med. guage
action as low as possible while bow-able, too much pressure on the bow can produce a little buzz at the b on the g string(only)
i'll be damned if it isn't lower than some bass guitars i've owned...
the neck was sanded and teched by david guage in nyc after purchase..
now i just need a ruler!
cheers
