My 6-string beauty just came in yesterday afternoon. After playing it for a little bit, I have to say that the pizzicato sound is great, but maybe little too thin for me, even with the bass EQ turned all the way up. The arco sound, however is nothing like a real upright and lacks the "resonance"...

I just bought a used Ergo six string! It should ship next week.

I'm considering buying a Flexocor Deluxe set from another TBer, and I just want to know how the strings "feel." I play 70% arco (German) and 30% pizz. From what I heard, they are easy to bow and mostly for arco with a somewhat "darker" tone. The only thing that I'm not sure about is how good...

I'm considering buying a 5 string Ergo, and I'm wondering weather it would be a be a similar instrument to my acoustic DB. I play a mix of arco and pizz and want a EUB that can feel like my acoustic DB and still be portable. Would the Ergo be able to use standard DB strings? Could you add an...

I'm looking for an EUB that plays and feels similar to a normal upright, but is very cheap. I play a mix of both pizz and arco. My budget is about $400-600, but I can give $700 max. The Stagg is the cheapest, and I found several on Ebay for less than 500. I also heard that it is a good EUB for...

Well, I've adjusted my bridge again and did some playing, and I have to say that there is definitely an improvement. The strings are low enough to make playing easy, but have have minimal buzz. The E has definitely improved, and I only get some minimal buzzing on the 2nd finger G when I play...

I just played on my bass a little more and it seems that the action is higher on all the string, especially the G and D. The buzz on the E is gone until just before the octave, but that doesn't really bother me. I seem to hit the A string a little bit when in 5th or higher position on the D, but...

Ok, I evened out the E and G side, and so far the buzzing has dissappeared. The only downside is that the G string is a little higher off the fingerboard than I'm comfortable with.

Whenever I play on the E string I get a buzz from the string hitting the fingerboard. It only happens above the 2nd finger G. The bridge is already at its max height on the E side and the buzz is still there. Any idea for adjustments to fix this?

So the general consensus is that it's not a good EUB? Is there any other EUB under $500 that's good?

I have found this cheap EUB for $399 on Ebay. Personally, I think that at such a cheap price, the EUB has to be poor quality. Has anyone ever heard of this EUB? Do you recommend that I buy it or pass on it? My "gut feeling" tells me that it's probably yet another piece of Chinese garbage.
